Professional dream-worsener. Someday I shall shrink down and ride a hummingbird.
- Reading a book by Werner Herzog, as opposed to listening to the audio version narrated by him, is made only better for the fact that in my head it is narrated by my own terrible Werner Herzog impersonation.
- Watching The Wizard of Oz. This movie is fucking insane.
- Predator Badlands review: Finally a Predator that learns to love a CG monkey friend. What I hated about the previous films was they didn’t have enough jar jars.
- I hung out with a raccoon.
- It always bothered me when people laughed while watching ZIM. All that time I spent trying to warn humanity with my admittedly astounding cautionary tales and they LAUGHED. Well I tried. Sure I failed spectacularly but I tried…
- Scoopin’.
- My oral surgeon has been playing the theme music to Halloween the entire time I’ve been here. If he doesn’t come out in a blood spattered Michael Meyers costume I’m not paying.
- The last time I visited Columbus Ohio I was forced to eat a hot pocket for the first time. It was sad and it still haunts me. I’m back again and I’m scared I’ll have to do that again.
- I’m on a plane again goddammit.
- I never really looked at people before. What’s up with their faces?
- A nice little thing I like to do is keep raisins in my pocket to hand out to strangers when out in the world - you never know what someone’s going through and if a single raisin can keep them from losing their shit, then it was worth it. #raisins
- Successfully extracted from Atlanta. Thank you, everyone who showed up to support and consume my award losing stew at StewCon. People even dressed up in weird costumes to see me but that actually worked out alright since they could be filled up with burning hot stew. Much appreciated. #dragoncon
- I don’t care what the official bullshit is from the White House, there’s no way those black bags they’re dumping aren’t full of Trump’s cankle meat. They can’t dump them fast enough - no sooner do they fill up a bag does two bags of meat regenerate. #canklegate
- Did a panel today about why people still like INVADER ZIM after all this time despite it being a known fact the show causes mental deformities and almost always gives viewers ‘stupid eyes.’ Pretty good turnout and the lights made it easier to ignore their hideous eyes.
- Do not fear the thing on the wing. BE the thing on the wing.
- Oh shiiiiit! Hollywood’s Brent Spiner is on my flight. That’s a good sign.
- On my way to the airport and being weirded out seeing that there’s other people out at this hour. What are they all doing?? They all look so miserable. Oh god, do I look like that? Am I also… people? #dragoncon
- Dragoncon adventure update: set my alarm for 6am for the airport portion of the quest. DID NOT SLEEP. I fear this whole thing.
- Huh. So I’ve NEVER looked at my mentions here. I’ve missed a LOT of things. Sorry, friends who are now dead but why the hell are you sending me cries for help because your car flipped and is on fire via Bluesky mention? Not smart!
- Behold this beautiful trash warlock!
- How do people not know they can reset themselves to the factory settings by pressing in both eyeballs for 15 seconds until they hear a beep?
- Steven King wrote a short story about a guy who mistakenly gets delivered a Kindle that has access to every book written across the multiverse, books from alternate reality versions of authors. I want such a device just for all of the infinite Margaret Atwood’s alone.
- I enjoy fun space opera stuff but mostly for watching - movies or television, but I’m never drawn to that sort of thing when it comes to reading. It’s always more interesting when there’s a purpose beyond just entertainment, stories that leave a mark long after I’m done with the book.
