Been off the grid at my MFA residency in Nebraska where it was hot bc of corn sweat (?) but pretty all the same
Certain episodes of Columbo were released theatrically in Italy, a collection of posters.
Join patreon.com/rangedtouch to hear us talk about 2011's BAG OF BONES, a truly terrible (and yet extremely weird) adaptation of the Stephen King novel. It has one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a tv movie - Pierce Brosnan getting electrocuted with tree powers so hard he pukes. Sound up

Half of America has a chronic illness. I am one of those people.

Another beautiful Mayhem morning
Official review of Mayhem:

Thank you both for coming on Saturday! It was such a nice surprise!!!
