I know the feeling. It all gets to be so overwhelming and insane that it leaves you bewildered

I literally was just talking about that sort of thing this week. And the whole “well you won’t always have a calculator available” line.

Like, it’s wild to me that there was a time when that was all it took to kill a presidential bid. Nowadays you can be a convicted felon and a sex offender and get elected. It’s nuts.

I am feeling the very strong urge to make myself feel happier through consumerism. Like, I just want to buy dice, and RPG books, and knives, and board games, and computer parts. That will make things better right?

Those were the days. Remember Howard Dean and and that career ending scream?

Oooooooooooo

Apparently the world is still full of stupid crazy hateful bigots, so I made myself feel better by buying myself more RPG books.

How fucking good is Madonna? Kicking it back to the 80’s with my playlist choices for today. Yes, we are living in a material world.

I’m still not too far into it, but I am really enjoying it.

Today is 90s grunge and rock. It’s got me really nostalgic for old school MTV now. Damn.

Yes. The Peter Ustinov and Mia Farrow one is golden. The new one with Kenneth Branagh was not very good. I rewatch the Ustinov one all the time.

Starting off 2026 by starting The Bone Raiders by Jackson Ford. I’m excited for this one.

That will do it. Gotta do what ya gotta do

We had decided that we really didn’t feel like going out for NYE this year, so we had a quiet night in with a couple of pizzas, a 2 liter of soda, and Escape From New York. Very good evening.

The good Death on the Nile right?

It’s absolutely crazy how many of these tech dweeb edge lords claim to loooove Tolkien and miss the entire fucking point of the stories.

I’d really like to win the lottery so that I can have the time to tackle my backlog of video games, movies, shows, and this monstrous to be read list…

Ya just gotta poke that in with your pocket knife. You got this.

Crafting and watching LOTR this morning.

I’m with Scalzi, How It’s Done is too for me. But they are all really good.

Got some creative feelings brewing.

I wish we could get another sword & sorcery boom. I really wish there were more fantasy films in general.

Man, I love my dog, but did he really need to walk around for two whole hours to find a spot to poop? I mean really?!?

On to watching Guys and Dolls for the hundredth time.

I can’t stop buying books. And audiobooks. And ebooks.

Well, read my chapter of the day of The 31st Trick or Treater by Ben Farthing and now I’m just watching A Death on the Nile (not the new one) and making some teriyaki chicken.

That’s gotta be a legal defense.

I’m thinking that the game plan for tonight is a cozy dinner, a familiar spooky season movie on in the background and maybe a bit of reading or some old school gaming. Maybe Zelda or Metroid. Dunno.

Sometimes you decide at 10:30 that you want to eat teriyaki chicken, so you make some because you are a goddamn adult and you can do whatever you want.

It’s Friday! Time to listen to John Carpenter music, drink tea, and try not to go insane.
