ME: [extremely burnt out] I need to take the day off to relax.
ALSO ME: I wonder if there is a way that I could relax that would be more productive.

I watched Weapons (2025) today for Halloweenathon. Very good movie. I also watched Host (2020) which wasn't great in particular as a horror movie, but was fascinating in its execution as it was filmed entirely over Zoom at the beginning of the pandemic.

You can just block stuff that sucks. You don’t have to be mad out loud or even care. You can just see it and quietly put it in the garbage forever

If it's October that means I'm watching horror movies during a month-long thing I call Halloweenathon. I'm finishing up today's movies now, surprisingly all movies I haven't seen yet.
Bring Her Back (2025)
Split (2017)
Asylum (1972)
Dr. Giggles (1992)

I created a separate account for my more technical weather posts. Follow me there if you want to go deeper into weather discussions. I'll still post cool weather stuff here though.
Keeping an eye on a severe weather event for Saturday across the lower Midwest and Arklatex areas. Slight risk (2nd highest out of 5) from eastern TX into southern MO and the western TN with a 5% tornado chance in AR and western TN. There will also be a lot of rain from LA up through MI.

Impressive lightning show from storms to the north tonight. These are slowly moving toward Bloomington but should miss mostly to the east.

"Canada needs to take its wildfire smoke back"
Hate to tell you this, but half or more of that smoke settled over the Plains and Midwest today is thanks to fires in the western/southwest United States of America.
