My favorite Datsun-like but legally distinct car robot

"Vanessa, the Vampire Vixen" is the longest story in my upcoming book. Vanessa's reign as a late-night horror queen ends when she's replaced by a younger star. When a mysterious stranger makes her an unexpected offer, she discovers that starting over might be the scariest thing of all.

The third story in my upcoming book is called "One Shoe". Have you ever seen a single shoe beside the road? Just one shoe. No sign of its mate. Maybe someone lost it. Maybe it fell from a passing car. Or maybe there's a reason nobody has ever considered. And maybe you're better off not knowing.

The war has been going on for millennia, that's what they're saying. Only I could stop this.

I am proud to announce that I have declared an energy cease fire between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

Had a great time playing games with friends. Realm Runners and Puerto Rico 1897 couldn't be more different but both are enjoyable in their own way.

Sitting here working at my desk and I hear the robot vacuum. Look up and discover my wife is pranking me lol.

This one fell flat for me. A better title might have been "Fiteen Seconds with the Abominable Snowman" or perhaps "Yelling in the Snow".

First holidays missing loved ones are really hard. Eventually, you will use the time to think back on happy memories with them. My advice is to try to make this holiday season as good as it can be.

Hope we get a Missing Link. He will look incredible with sculpted and tampographed details.

These are the Happy-Meal-looking-est Transformers I've seen in a while and I absolutely adore them.

Feels like the right time to open these.

My guess is it's the skeleton of a pine cone. Very on theme

The second story in my upcoming book is "An Occurrence in Outer Space". Far from Earth, on a hostile alien world, a desperate man is running out of time. His only hope is escape—and the dangerous journey home. But sometimes the hardest place to reach is the one you remember most clearly.

Picked up a cheap lot of genestealers, but stupidly didn't check to see if they matched my current ones. They are a generation older, it seems. Hopefully on the table you won't be able to tell much difference?

People get weird over the silliest things.

The first story in my new book is called "Periphery". Bugs crawl at the edges of Stan's vision. When he turns to look, they disappear. The exterminator can’t find a problem. His wife thinks he’s imagining things. But Stan knows that he's right. The bugs lurk everywhere.

Marc Allie @marcallie.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Totally agree. Similar to the one hour season of TZ. They felt stretched too.

Marc Allie @marcallie.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It's definitely a lesser show, but I still enjoyed watching it. The "monster of the week" format episodes get tiresome but there is gold in there too.

This glowing eyeball stalk from Dollar Tree is way cooler than I thought it would be. Solar powered eyeballs, what a world we live in.

The Las Vegas Raiders are a trash organization.

$25 at Barnes & Noble? No way I can resist picking this up. I look forward to setting it up and then abandoning it after a turn or two, which is the proper way to play Axis and Allies, right?

Really wanted to like this film, but kept seeing this and the experience was ruined. @paxholley.com @michaelmay.bsky.social @shawnrobare.com

I'd like missing link releases of... All of them.

For real though why did this happen?

Marc Allie @marcallie.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Nothing clever or funny to say today, so here's the cover of my forthcoming book. It's a collection of horror/sci-fi short stories and I am working like gangbusters to make an October release.

Is this a thoughts and prayers situation or a congratulations on your recovery situation?

Watched Avengers Endgame Encore last night. Hadn't seen it in a while. It was great, and such a wonderful finale for several characters. I just feel like it should have been left alone. Very wary about Doomsday.

Marc Allie @marcallie.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I just can't with all these incremental upgrades.

Got the lights and the new addition to the spooky season decorations up yesterday. Really love this guy!

Marc Allie @marcallie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Trying to decide if I want to squeeze in Infinity War again before Endgame in the theater on Sunday evening. We're busy tonight and I'm already dragging my wife to Destroy All Monsters at the theater tomorrow. I should have just taken a sick day today for this I guess.

I had never had pierogis before a few months ago when we tried a new recipe that required them. Loved them so much we have them a few times a month now. SO GOOD

IMDB suggests Twins of Evil is less gratuitous, at least. I'm trying to picture a battered copy of an actual Crestwood House book on this trilogy, one with strangely sticky pages that sixth grade boys keep checking out from the library.

Co-worker had this old Krunchers box in her room. I gushed over it, probably too much, and she gave it to me. I love Krunchers, hard to find here now. So... what do I do with this? Flatten it out and frame it? LOL
