It's been a minute since I've posted, but I wanted to share this. I wrote a thing and @breanneboland.bsky.social illustrated it!

When I was a teenager, we used to flip one cigarette upside down like that and it was the lucky one. I thought he was giving her his lucky cigarette 🚬

'The Office' was pro-office propaganda whereas 'Severance' is the realistic show about how being at the office makes you go insane

Every time I drive to Taos, I stop by there and grab a soda. The owner's got some pretty interesting UFO stories.

I really love Skate Witches. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but geez, was I entertained.

A near perfect list! ⭐ I only watched one movie this past week, so I didn't post, but it was Alien Romulus, which was entertaining, but why is space so WET?

About to play the "$40 for a week of groceries" game, but fortunately, Guy's Grocery Games, and before that, Supermarket Sweep, have prepared me for this moment.

I've also worked in a few different public libraries, and all of them have panic buttons. Unfortunately, they're necessary.

On T-day, we took a pre-gluttony trip on the Sandia Tram to the top of the mountains. Perfect sunset timing on the way down! #mountains #sunset #newmexico

The grave on the left is a child who died in 2008, grandparents on the right. The cabinet is full of stuffed animals that people keep leaving.

Cemetery tourism: earlier this week I visited Rodeo, NM (population: 42). The local cemetery has a mix of unmarked graves, homemade markers, and elaborate headstones.
Three rock-lined graves in a desert cemetery. A gravestone that reads Cox, surrounded by rocks and a handmade wooden sign reading Cox. White stone grave with a cross and angel statue, set against the mountains. White cross that reads Daddy. Two graves with headstones.

I'm currently spending the night in the Cowboy Room at a lodge in Rodeo, NM. I'm stuck inside because there's a rattlesnake on my front porch.

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film: 1) snow 2) bearded men concealing surprises 3) compulsory party games 4) introverts shunning group activities 5) digestive issues 6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms 7) knitwear

I realized recently that I disliked Terri Garr for 30 years because of how unsupportive she is of Richard Dreyfuss in this movie. I think it imprinted on me as a kid. I'm over that now. As soon as he started throwing bricks and trash through the kitchen window, I would've kicked him to the curb.
