Finished Alan Wake II last night! Not my favorite genre mechanically, though I do think they did some interesting things. BUT everything about the story was extremely my shit and the vibes were (chefkiss). &huge shoutout to how perfectly they captured a specific slice of the my PNW homeland.

I CANNOT BELIEVE that 3/4 of the way through Alan Wake II is when I learn that Matthew Porretta was Will Scarlet O'Hara in Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993). We had that movie on VHS and wore it out. What do you MEAN I had a pre-teen crush on Doctor Casper Darling. 😂😂😂😂

Huh. Today in "always look up the etymology because sometimes you're just repeating a myth but sometimes it's weirder and more incredible than you could have possibly imagined" www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/c...

Screenshot of Merriam Webster etymology note for cockamamie:
By the look and sound of it, cockamamie (also spelled "cockamamy") could have something to do with a rooster and the outrageous sound it makes. But in fact, cockamamie is believed to be an altered form of the term decalcomania, which refers to the process, invented in the mid-19th century, of transferring pictures and designs from specially prepared paper to surfaces such as glass or porcelain. (The word referring to the picture or design itself, decal, is a shortening of decalcomania.) The word decalcomania comes from French, with décalcomanie combining the verb décalquer, meaning "to trace" or "to transfer by tracing," and -manie, meaning "-mania." Starting in the 1930s, painted strips of paper with images capable of being transferred to the skin were called decals or—in children's slang—cockamamies. Those familiar with today's temporary tattoos will understand quickly that these were regarded by many as silly novelties, lending the word cockamamie the necessary leeway for application to anything ridiculous.

Come visit this 𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑵𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒍 𝑭𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒅! Step off of the boardwalk and into a beautiful 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝙁𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙. Lean in very, very close to smell the flowers! Maybe even go inside them! Enjoy sinking your toes into dirt that is definitely not a peat bog that will swallow you whole! Get out there!!

A deceptive open space with trees in the background. It looks like a field unless you notice the pitcher plant flowers scattered among the grass. It is in fact a peat bog with carnivorous plants growing all over it.

A close up on pitcher plants, you can see the pitchers and their red veins.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

36 hours later and the raspberry pi is humming away in a corner, I’ve got an audiobookshelf server set up, and my library has been reorganized and is moseying its way over to dedicated storage. This is a project I’ve been contemplating for a bit and I’m glad the planets finally aligned!

Sometimes you wake up at 5:30am on a Sunday for no good reason and two hours later you’re dusting off an old raspberry pi so you can build your own audiobook server. These things happen!
