How your email finds me
A madman dressed as Napoleon XIV standing by a fire hydrant with an invisible dog. The man is shouting “They’re coming to take me away, hahaa!”

I seem to specialize in getting diseases that are described as “excruciatingly painful.” Kidney stones, gout, now shingles. “On a scale of 1 to 10 how much does it hurt?” “On a normal human scale or as someone who’s passed a kidney stone?” (Shingles are a solid 10. Wouldn’t recommend.)

Best thing about getting a good result from your A1C test is leaving the doctor’s office and immediately going to the donut shop down the street and getting a cherry fritter and a maple glazed sour cream donut. Health.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

Nothing can make me crash out like getting that pre-mustard watery stuff on my sandwich. It’s total bullshit.

Preparing myself to begin my most ambitious project yet: remixing Beck songs to remove the extraneous, irritating bleeps, blips, squawks and yells. It’s a toughie; some of that is load-bearing noise.

Cosplay! Why buy an expensive prop when you can make it yourself! It will cost three times as much and not be done in time, but at least it will also look bad!

Morning Phase is clearly Beck’s masterpiece, but I think Guero might be my overall favorite. Just so consistently great all the way through.

Tried digging a post hole for a stair railing today and lemme tellya, those screenwriters who stick those “digging your own grave” scenes in movies got it way wrong. This shizz is impossible. I’d love to see some mob movie where the guy goes “the dirt keeps sliding back in! I can’t get it out!”

Rob Reiner Rewatch: The Princess Bride (1987) Perfect movie. 5/5. No notes. I’ve seen it countless times, never get sick of it. Oh, one thing: I love that Christopher Guest’s fingers go up to eleven.

DIY home projects are always humbling because it starts with a youtube video saying it will take twenty minutes and ends with two hours of me screaming at a nut on the bottom of a sink that. Just. Won’t. Fucking. Budge.

Star Trek: Generations. What a weird, sad movie. Picard mourns his family, Data overacts, and the rest of the cast gets nothing to do. Kirk’s fate is ludicrous and unbecoming. The ‘action finale’ of old men clambering around scaffolding leaves much to be desired. A misstep.

Sometimes my job is a fun, engaging logic puzzle, getting all the parts and scheduling and people to fit together so I have everything I need to create the layout. Sometimes it’s a massive shit show. Yep.

Rob Reiner Rewatch: Stand By Me (1986). He got some amazing performances out of those kid actors. Very true to life how as a kid you can be joking one minute, then fighting then next, then best friends again like it never happened. Also, man bullies in Stephen King’s universe are just the worst.

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS: there’s a scene missing in DS9 se 3 ep 7 “Civil Defense” that explains what happened to Dukat after the crew regains control of the station. Does he just slink away?

Rob Reiner rewatch: The Sure Thing (1985) wasn’t expecting a sweet little romcom masquerading as a teen sex comedy. Fun to see the stars in the prototypical personas they would go on to refine. I don’t believe for a second that the “sure thing” would wait around for Cusack tho. She can do better.

Watching the TNG finale “All Good Things.” Such a great capper to a great show. I do kinda wish that while they were shooting season 3 of Picard they had managed to squeeze in some reshoots of the future sequences so they looked like they do now.

“If you were in charge of Star Trek what would you do?” 1. Green-light Star Trek: Legacy. 2. Order a full 10 episodes for the final season of Strange New Worlds. 3. Bring back Lower Decks. 4. Bring back Starfleet Academy. 5. Bring back (reasonably priced) Playmates action figures & toy ships.

Rob Reiner rewatch: This is Spinal Tap still just as funny 40 some years later. I remember seeing Tap during the Break Like the Wind Tour in 91. Three genius comedic actors pretending to be a band and a stadium full of people pretending to be fans of the pretend band.

I don’t have a zen garden, but I do have a metal squeegee thing for slowly raking the dog hair off of my husky’s dog bed, and that gives me nearly the same feeling of accomplishment.

The main problem with getting whisked away by a tornado and deposited in a strange fairytale land would be the sheer amount of new people I’d have to meet and talk to. I ain’t doing that.

As Gen Xers age into seniors and elder millennials approach the 50 mark, one thing is certain: adult vitamins have to start upping their flavors. None of this bland apple/pear/orange nonsense. We need x-treme flavors with super sour liquid centers!

In celebration of the new LOTR movie to be written by Steven Colbert, here's a bonus one dramatizing the chapter "Fog on the Barrow Downs"
A Tusken Raider attacks Luke, shouting ‘Cold be heart and hand and bone and cold be sleep under stone.’ 
He is interrupted by Dr. Who and Romana singing ‘Hey doll merry doll ring a dong dillo, Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!’

When you hide an ad in any social media platform they should have an option for “I hid this because the ‘art’ was made with AI and I won’t support a company that uses it.” ‘Irrelevant’ doesn’t quite cut it.
