So here's the deal, bluefrenz:
Tomorrow is December 1st. I have no money so I decided to make my son a... booklet of illustrations of the lyrics to Robbie Robertson's "Somewhere Down the Crazy River"
I have, let's say, 25 days to draw and paint it. It's 12 pages. Fuck. I hadn't done the math yet.

And apparently some crazy shit is happening in current episodes and it's taking all my willpower not to look it up because I want to experience it for myself. But that just makes wading through these earlier episodes frustrating at times.

sometimes the violent swings in tone of One Piece give me emotional whiplash
one moment people are dying and the next moment Zoro is trying to have a drink while half-animal people are rubbing up against him saying "LET'S PLAY!" and "LET ME GIVE YOU PLAY BITES!"
