Incisions are closing up!! After a few more weeks I'll be able to fit in another couple of concerts before surgery #2. So far there's Rush, Dragonforce, an Andrea Gibson tribute (which will be mostly crying), and Sabaton the night before top surgery, lol. Me treating my body's Healing Factor like

Officially on week 3 post-op (1 of 2) now, and so far everything has gone well. As long as I get myself some really good, restrictive binding to keep myself from moving too much until uhhhh mid-January, I should be a-ok, lol Head is almost clear enough to read/write/watch/draw something now.

Morphine wasn't working so I needed 2 infusions of Dilaudid. I was in another dimension where pain didn't matter, everyone was my friend, and it was extremely important that Tom record a video of me apologizing to Opal In Sky for missing their concert.

PSA because my ass is VERY chapped: Volunteering is not glamorous and is often exhausting, gross, repetitive, even traumatic. Volunteers are there so the people with fancy letters after their names can do the "cool" work. Looking down on people who do the "boring" stuff shows your ignorance.

Will be missing Castle Rat (Sep 23, Baltimore) and Opal In Sky (Sep 26, DC) because one of my surgeries got moved up! Yay for surgery, boo for missing two concerts. Lmk if you're interested in a pair of tickets for either (Castle Rat has prepaid parking). Would love a shirt/patch in exchange!

If anyone else likes a good found-footage sort of film and is also slow to hear about cool movies, "Host" on Shudder is a really fun, short spoopy about a Zoom call séance gone wrong during lockdown in the summer of 2020 (and actually made entirely via Zoom during that time).

Finally got Tom to watch "The Crow" with me after 15 years and afterward he said "Well, that made a lot of things click into place for me"

I think every horror film fan has a short list of movies that scared them in a way they didn't like and has, perhaps, made them taste bile thinking about them even decades later. I also think most horror fans, even the ones who see the genre as competitive, aren't happy about adding to that list!!

Honestly I'm not really sure why The Odyssey managed to receive an R rating unless Nolan asked for one. It's got less blood than an average MCU movie. There might have been a lot of cussing to earn it, but I couldn't hear the dialogue over uhhhhh anything else in the film

As much marketing as Ghost did for Skeletá I'm honestly shocked at the utter lack of it for the movie they're showing in frigging IMAX theaters. Tickets have been on sale for over 13 hours now and almost all the theaters in the DC area have 2-4 seats sold for every showing for the whole 5 day run

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.
