Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 9hI don't know who Michael Tracy is beyond "the dope who wore this terrible outfit" and I am not going to make any effort to learn more. I suspect he is deeply unpleasant and I have enough of that going on without adding more. 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I auditioned for that part in H.S. but it went to a kid who was shaped more like Roosevelt so whatever but then my brother was given--just given!--a role as a thug because he played football and was bigger than everybody else. I have thus far spared my family the recounting of this injustice. 140
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Some real Principal Skinner energy in that piece.static.klipy.comPrincipal Skinner: Am I Out Of Touch? No, It's The ChildrenALT: Principal Skinner: Am I Out Of Touch? No, It's The Children 050
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Still have my copies you both signed at an ECCC about 4,000 years ago. 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Reaching way back for a 'Banana Sunday' reference but my arms aren't long enough. 100
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I've had a lifelong obsession with him and his weirdo career. I will rewatch Viva Knievel in his honor. 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 03/10/2026My mother-in-law died and it took my wife literally years to sort through all of the stuff she left behind. That was the wakeup call. The great unloading is in progress. I almost feel badly for whomever ends up with my stuff. It's there problem now! 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Pulled it out of the package and pulled it on like a t-shirt. "Hey, cool, it's already buttoned!" 020
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Mignola doing superheroes is a true, and too rare, delight. 001

Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026There is a brief moment toward the beginning of the film where a young woman drops a large stack of papers in front of Max Cady and, as she goes down to pick them up, Cady just steps over her without breaking stride. Everything you need to know about him is in that moment. It's brilliant. 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026You're not super into it and you're thinking about someone else the whole time. 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Bad Sisters is quite fun. Occasionally frustrating (in a "I though you were better than that" character-choice way), but overall quite good. 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026There are few authors for whom I will drop everything to get their new book on release day. Kate Beaton is one. And I was introduced to the gorgeous art of Sydney Smith. Good book day. 010

Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Happy Batman Day! I'm out here alone so I can post photos of India's legendary cricketer, Sunil Gavaskar, if I feel like it. 000
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026A bargain at twice the price! But 3 bones is pretty sweet. 011
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Also nigh 60 and have a few old Mego friends (including Kirk on a bookshelf) around the house. Nice to know I am not the only one. 1130
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 18/09/2026This is a great album (I would be shocked if you didn't know it). His rendition of "Girl from Ipanema" is one of my favorite versions of my favorite song. 101
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026That was a delight. Glad you were able to talk with her. 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026That is a dandy turn of phrase. And because I am the kind of person to freely use "dandy" in conversation, you can bet I will add "great majority" to my lexicon. 110
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I stumble across Lorenz now and then (mostly when somebody posts something about her) and I don't really know who she is. From what little I have absorbed, not really knowing who she is seems like the right play. 110
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Old man take: I don't "get" video podcasts. Like, I hate Zoom meetings. Why would I want to watch someone else's Zoom meeting? 000

Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Made it to the Moomin exhibit at the National Nordic Museum (with one day to spare!). Tove Jansson was a badass. 030
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Saying goodbye to a pet is a hell of a thing. You have my sympathies. 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I promise I will start singing this on my ride to work tomorrow and I will never stop. 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Well now I know what my junior high school gym teacher would look like if he were into cosplay. 010
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 13/08/2026IYKYK. If you don't, Hayley Mills. Kid me had no idea she was well into her twenties when I "discovered" her early movies. 121
Philip @thesmithboy.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Nice to know I am not crazy (about this one specific thing). Every oncoming Tesla looks like it has its high-beams on. 010
