Cleaning out an old box of weird stuff, and yes, I do still have the @donhertzfeldtfilms.bsky.social Rejected Zippo lighter.
A shiny Zippo Lighter with the little Puff guy drawing on it. A shiny Zippo Lighter with the REJECTED logo on it.

Do we need popcorn buckets for every goddamn movie? We bought the DUNE one as a goof, but these are all just a waste. The Funko Pops of movie theaters.

Bought a ticket for the half marathon, but still looking for the whole shebang if someone you know needs to sell theirs.

I’m loving this record. It fills the same hole (teehee) that bands like The Faint did for me back in my indie sleaze days.

Same here. And I block/mute the hell out of trending words and terrible people’s names. I work in social media, so I’m constantly bombarded with the worst 5 days a week. This is my calm(er) place where I can to see what my writer, comedy, and musician friends have been up to.

The saying around here is "It's PR, not the ER," which is corny as hell until you realize how many folks say it but still think everything is an emergency.

My favorite part of my job is mentoring my younger coworkers by reminding them that none of this means anything and that it's okay to say you don't have the bandwidth to take on anything else. This is not an emergency. It's pet food. It's social media. It doesn't mean anything. It's all pretend.

We are getting closer and I am getting sadder about possibly missing out. I’m on a waiting list but if y’all hear anyone trying to get rid of theirs, I’m here to purchase even though last year I said I’d never do it again. 👻

Every once in a while, I'm reminded of the intimidating heavy metal dude who used to frequent the record store where I worked back in the day. We called him Big Scary Nice Guy. He looked frightening as hell, but he was really sweet as pie.

Also, I do not have time to remember all the people in a band anymore. A costume is helpful and adds to the mystery!
