Well alright then. I’ll read something fun.

The early morning? I don’t think I trust Google Translate on this one.

My daughter wants a coat like Vash the Stampede’s. Honestly, so do I.

I don’t know. My problem is that I see them as one long work. The best I can say is that I can watch Part One without watching Part Two, but I cannot watch Part Two without watching Part One.

You’re a writer. Seeing your posts about your wips serves as a swift kick in the pants for my motivation to write. I’m not sure if it’s an accomplishment or unintentional peer pressure, but I appreciate it.

Fight Club and The Godfather, off the top of my head. There are probably more. (Don’t read The Godfather. It’s rough.)

Autocorrect can go straight to hell. That second word was supposed to be own. Bluesky, give us an edit feature!

I won it, but I’ve held off watching it until I read this. Might just go ahead and watch it.

I did this one earlier, but I’m going to post it here too. It’s not a selfie of my wife took it, right? In any case, here’s to misspent youths and self-destructive personalities.

I want a Grateful Dead shirt, but instead of a parade of bears I want it to be tardigrades.

I have to add: sometimes I don’t get the reference.

2/2 …in Sam Spade as a bad dude comes across as pedantic and more than a little gee-I-wish-I-were-an-asshole.

I’ve been looking forward to this one for a few years. I’m in that sweet spot between finals and first day of class, so I picked it up. I am disappointingly unimpressed. Its descriptions of simple actions need polishing, and I don’t care about any of the characters. Also, the writer’s investment 1/2

Reposting because I think I need this as a tattoo.

I’ve never heard of this author. Which book should I start with?

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie. (Is it a selfie if my wife took it? I don’t care. See photo.)

It is nearly 10:30 on a Saturday night and I can hear my daughter singing to her girlfriend in Florida over the phone. This is what she’s singing. She’s doing a pretty damn good job of it too! youtu.be/0Fju9o8BVJ8?...

I have nursed a lifelong hatred of country music, but I absolutely love The Red Clay Strays song Demons In Your Choir.

I’m three years sober. When I hit the five year mark I’m getting this as a tattoo.

Hemingway told writers to quit while you have something left, but he never played fruit ninja. I love fruit ninja. Be good to yourself!

This started as a ramble about the feel in the air today. Not sure what it is turning into yet, but it feels good to write.

I’m curious about Slavic myths and I want to read the Monet biography.

“The storm is up, and all is on the hazard.” I’m outside watching Isaias roll past east of us. I am very glad not to be in the way of this one. Lots of wind here and the bayous are up across the Northshore.

She got Bette Davis eyes. Or maybe Gozer the Gozerian eyes.

I remember when this show was on the cover of TV Guide. Because I’m old.

I just did this with an I/O psych paper on the airline industry. Found the sources one day and wrote 7 pages (plus APA-style title page, abstract, and references) the next. Got a 98%. I’ve barely read anything all semester. Who needs AI?

That’s also Ron Perlman. Beauty and the Beast the tv show.

I am sick of watching the news and feeling like an adult watching kids on a playground. These people are in power because they are rich. They are in power to get richer. They are dumb, spoiled, and short-sighted. I would feel badly for them and the lives they live if I weren’t so mad at them.

Got a recommendation? I’m about to finish what I’m reading.

I wrote and submitted a seven page history of i-o psychology and the airline industry, complete APA formatting with title page, abstract and eleven references. Got it converted to PDF and submitted around 11pm.
