Did anyone else hear those weird interruptions?

Obviously we all know that we as human beings can't live on other planets or the Sun or Asteroids in our current "skin"

But if we actually get to choose our reincarnations - do you think we can do?

We couldn't be the same biological humans we are now - we'd have to be something that can withstand extremes of heat and ice and no oxygen

But is it possible you think to reincarnate as essentially an extra terrestrial in a future life - but within this Solar system?

I'm thinking NO - as no telescopes or satellites or spacecraft have spotted Life on other planets or the Moon

Be interested to hear opinions though

I'm wondering if I should stop being my never go out self - and maybe travel to see the next Total Solar Eclipse, but...

I rarely leave my house - avoid social events - avoid people in person (online is fine) - don't find things like travelling / trying new experiences / socialising my idea of "Fun"

I'm 53 now - and have put this self imposed housebound on myself for quite a few years

I'm more interested in "deep" things - like Astrology / Reincarnation / Tarot / Mysteries etc

Most people seem too "ordinary"

Either I'm a stuck-up individual - who sneers at the general population

Or - have I maybe been on this planet a lot of times - and maybe have experienced a lot of it across various lives?

In short - am I bored of Earth maybe...?

I hate the place - I feel like I belong elsewhere / or maybe want to GO elsewhere - as in another planet or another dimension

Someone on Reddit recently mused I might be a "Starseed" - which I'd never heard of - but sounds like I could be one - someone from a different star system, who's incarnated here to help earth's inhabitants

The Michael Douglas film sees him in Latin America

It has a villainous authority figure who is more like a criminal hiding behind his police-style job

It features a precious stone

It reminds me of the villains and prize in The Broken Ear

London here - 91% Eclipse was a total let-down - sure, it did get dark - but recording the Sun itself looked as normal

I decided to cheer myself up with fitting lyrics from DD

With the heat of the planet's core

But the shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night

AIUI from this part of the book -

Tortilla is from the same country as Ramon and Alonso

Tortilla must have come over with them (on a ship or airplane)

He pretended to be a Doctor

He must have told them where he was staying in Europe - as they know which hotel to phone

Assuming I have listed the above correctly (and tell me if not) then -

How did Tortilla know about the Fetish?

Did he overhear Ramon and Alfonso talking about it on their trip over?

Or did they NOT meet on the journey - but in the hotel that's mentioned?

Original thread for reference -

Now -

I think Black bowler hat guy in Frame # 5 is...Balthazar

Look how intently is he peering at the Fetish statue...

I am guessing Tortilla (the guy pointed out to me as standing outside the museum in Frames # 1 and # 7 as per the original thread) sent him in to take a good look at the Fetish - so he knows in advance its dimensions and appearance...for him to carve a Replica quickly enough for Tortilla to take it back to the museum the next morning...

For context - musician seeking Audio Directors to pitch to

One guy accepted my connection - and I sent a DM explaining my services, with example tracks

The first part of the response was fair enough - although a bit wordy / and slightly condescending in tone - saying their company makes music for clients - and isn't a client seeking musicians

That was fair enough - although not clear from the company profile title - in effect they are service providers (like me)

Then in the same response the individual wrote something that at first sounded slightly rude and condescending - although later I wondered if it was either sour grapes / or an indirect hint that they'd be plagiarising my compositions

It went something like "Your examples aren't something we couldn't do ourselves - good luck"

Not something that came across as particularly professional - but I guess it takes all sorts!

For example -

The Beatles in Asterix in Britain

Pontius Pilate washing his hands in Asterix and the Black Gold

Etc

We know Allan first appears in Cigars of the Pharaoh - although as Tintin is unconscious and in a coffin he never sees Allan

So is Crab with the Golden claws the first time Tintin actually lays eyes on him?

Secondly -

Since Omar Ben Salaad seems to be Allan's boss in Crab Claws - is there any connection between Rastapopulous and Ben Salaad?

Or is Allan a direct employee of Rastapopulous - and sometimes works as a mercenary for other villains?

Seemed a lot of military officers involved with helping the two main antagonists in finding one measly Diamond

One has to wonder its value - as the money from a black market sale of it can only be divided so many ways before it becomes too much effort for not enough reward

He reminds me of...

Borat

That said - does anyone else think his associate is the cleverer of the two - and seems to make Ramon do more of the heavy lifting in their partnership?

Or did they copy another game's idea?
