I just finished reading Iain M Banks first Culture novel, Consider Phlebas. Why did I keep having flash backs to college and forcing myself through James Agee's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men?

They say when you have trouble falling asleep that you’re in someone else’s dreams. When I find out who’s dreaming about me for the last few months, my hands gonna go a-slappin’.

MN was covered in pea-soup thick fog most of the day. It reminded me of living in San Francisco. 🌁

Triangle (2009) begins very awkwardly, but comes together to be a very, very weird film.

Everything is expensive advice needed... Vacation is the week of October 12-16. Should I just spend it bed/couch rotting?

My Sister: ‘los? Me: yeeees? Sister: I want to go to Milwaukee, see the sights, eat cheese, go see the Brewers. Me: I dunno 🤷 it all sounds fun except for the ball game, which sounds like a nightmare, hell on earth. Sister: the ball game is the only reason I want to go. Me: ….

*shivers* had an awful dream last that a huge spider was crawling over my head and down my face. #traumatized FYI I hate spiders. (I blame all the spider motifs I’ve been seeing for Halloween)

My bio mom and her husband popped over to visit this past weekend. We ate good food and saw sights. I’ve been trying to convince them they need a new dog in their lives. Really it’s just for me to have a little sibling. 😉

Not many people know this, but the proper term for a large crowd of people is “I’ll stay home.”

Just finished THERE IS NO ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION by QNTM (Sam Hughes). Here, a secret organization that investigates paranormal events and discover their memories and people are being erased which leads them to discover they're in a war against a mysterious unknowable entity. Dense, but really good.

It’s been a really weird week. So I think today is one of those days you need to get out there and touch grass.

Just finished the first season of KCFH. Dark comedy drama with Annie Murphy, who is fantastic in this. But the subject material strikes way too close to home.
Annie Murphy stars in the two-season series Kevin Can F**k Himself

Watched the new He-Man movie. Pure cheese and nothing new. If it had been released 30 years ago, it probably would have been more successful.

Watched the Monkey tonight. By turns horrifying, gross, and clever. And holy shit, that ending. Theo James was terrific in his dual role as the twins.

Whoops. I appear to have pissed off a local bear by calling the thing he's really really really REAALLLLY into "a kink", which he's mad about, because it's 'a way of life' for him. Oh well.

Whew. Glad I bought an iPad Air M4 last weekend since Apple just shocked me by jacking up most of their prices of hardware across the board. What I thought was very pricey at $600 is now $750. Apparently due to chip/memory/storage price increases. Another reason to tell data centers to fuck off.

I just discovered my neighbor across the hall has listed her condo. Honestly I could use a gay neighbor. Anything else would be homophobic during Pride Month, yes?

Finished the 5th season of For All Mankind and found it lacking. The series had been improving on itself since that first season and became an amazing sci-fi series. I felt like this season tried to juggle a lot of balls and dropped most of them. So now I'm nervous about the 6th and final season.

Argh. Just finished a book and it was clunky and... off. So I read other reviews & reactions to it, and... it was pointed out the author has admitted to using AI to write it.

Just finished the 8 episodes of The Boroughs. By turns fresh, funny, and well told. It does take a few stumbles but manages to sidestep obvious stupidity. Mostly the series successes comes from the presence of the actors, especially Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, and Alfre Woodard. I enjoyed this.

This long weekend I watched two different movies featuring isolated cabins The Watchers was very inconsistent in its storytelling and pacing, with the usual Shyamalan twist that undercuts itself. OTOH, Good Boy is successful in its ambition and creepiness. Of the two, I liked Good Boy better.
The characters, trapped in a cabin in a remote Irish wood, face a one way mirror and spend their evenings on display for the Watchers.A very unusual dog guards his human from the evil darkness lurking in the remote cabin they're staying at.

I leaned this past year that the visual distortion I see sometimes (in the photo example) is called an ocular migraine. Weird that. Woke up this morning with one entirely in my left eye. Gone within an hour. At least they’re painless.
Don’t reach for your photoshop, this is merely a visual example of what an ocular migraine appears like, a more extreme version the floaters people usually see.

This week I read The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett. It turned out to be my fourth 5-star read for 2026. This was a fantastic locked-room murder mystery in a unusual fantasy world. The Leviathan sequels are now on the top of my TBR list. (Also highly recommended: his Divine Cities trilogy.)

I watched Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die tonight... and it was pretty funny and enjoyable. Stumbles a bit halfway in but picks up again. Sam Rockwell was a treat to watch, as always.
