There were no mentions of Cyberpunk in this episode, but Alex's explanation of how he used to dye his hair and wear his girlfriend's jeans extra tight did a lot to explain his adoration for Judy 😂
All joking aside, this was a solid brief discussion, particularly the questions regarding the sorts of horror men and women tend to be drawn to. Those are ideas I've often wondered at myself, why the likes of body horror tends to draw more women, while men are more drawn to things like psychological horror or cosmic horror. From what I heard here, it seems I've got another writer to add to my eternally growing To Be Read list.
Still slowly catching up on podcasts. Was hilarious to be cleaning my shop floor of blood while listening to a podcast on horror genre, thinking that I'm probably the only one doing so. (don't freak out, it was pig blood. Pinky promise). Interesting that you guys are drawn to horror; I used to be, and am not any more. I see my children just exploring the world too. It'd probably freak out city people, but my children are simply inquisitive, "Hey dad, can I cut open the pig's head? I want to see what's inside!" was a question when we slaughtered this pig. They don't seem like they'd be the types to be drawn to horror movies though, the same way I stopped being drawn as I got more invested in rural living. Dunno; maybe it's simply being involved with and seeing death regularly - I still read darker novels.
On the artistic output, I definitely feel you Alex. I seem to put out more when I'm on that edge of stressed vs overwhelmed. Balanced is what I'd call it. When I'm not too comfortable, but not too worn out. Motivated to do things. It can take the form of writing, working harder, drawing, playing more with the children, jokes, song, dance.... It comes out in weird ways. But it's good. It's human.
I was cleaning out my email inbox of old emails and actually came across a bunch of pictures I had emailed myself of art I had drawn over the years. Everything from renderings of stage productions to some images I had drawn for my wife during courtship - stressful, dark, to beautiful and lovely. The full gamut. I think life is like that for a good, long lasting artist. I haven't found much ways to really pursue it in married life as far as the drawing aspect, but I'm hoping to here soon. After 9 years, we're finally about stable enough to do so.
If you’ve only been to OKC, have you really been to Oklahoma?
Probably not, just driving through. I was only in OKC for one night.
