I'm a Pittsburgh marketing writer by day and a humorous sci-fi/fantasy author by night. So, like Batgirl but with less crime fighting and more carpal tunnel.

Watching Legend for the first time in many years. It occurs to me that it’s one of the only times Tom Cruise played someone who was not just Tom Cruise. With the other exception being in Tropic Thunder.

My brain knows it’s still really 8:30 and we’re living in a world of lies. It doesn’t approve.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

When Close Encounters of the Third kind came out, I thought it was part of a trilogy and that seven-year-old me had missed the other two movies.

As I've gotten weirder, I've gotten happier. There's some powerful magic in trading in youthful years for fucks given ✌🏻

Just rewatched Fall of the House of Usher and now onto the Haunted Palace, which I don’t think I’ve seen before. Having a bit of a Vincent Price night. This has Lon Cheney, too.

It’s that time of year where I randomly bust into the Ghostbusters related rap from Bobby Brown’s “On Our Own,” because this is still in my head thirty years later.
So if you ever told me something and I forgot, know it’s nothing personal. It was simply memory runoff because of Ghostbusters 2.

Made an Emerald City wreath for my porch, as a start to my Wizard of Oz Halloween theme. It’s mostly made from recycling and things I had around the house- paper towel rolls and pingpong balls. #WizardOfOz #Wicked

We’re really going to need a new season of Portlandia to cover current events, possibly styled as a Ken Burns documentary.

I guess he’s done! Arms on! Epaulettes on! Not toppling over so far. Time will tell. But for the moment he’s together.

Torso and head adhered to my TinMan! I love him!
Arms will be added once all that dries in a day or two.

@mrdestructicity.bsky.social Havd you seen The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff, a Mitchell and Webb Dickens spoof? It seems like it aligns well with your podcast.

Limbs are not assembled yet and the thorax bucket needs to be drilled to attach the legs. But I think the proportions are going to work. #TinMan #WizardofOz #wicked

Legs for my TinMan. The feet ended up being perfect. The leg pipe actually fits right into the “ankle” of the foot pipe by several inches. So it’s super stable. Way better than I expected! I am starting my day feeling really happy and hopeful! #wizardofoz #wicked #halloween

Watching Hetty Wainwright mysteries and I wish she’d done another tone or voice or manner for the character because all I’m seeing is a more business-like Hyacinth Bucket.

Went to Construction Junction with a friend and for $15 we found this massive wooden Cheshire Cat head and tail. It barely fit in my car. Thanks to my friend who took the tail out of the store while I wrangled the head. A future Halloween will use this guy! I love him.

Got the new Covid Moderna Spikevax at Costco with no hassle and no copay today. So that was a happy surprise.

Well, this is about as good as he’s going to get. Oz the Great and a Bit Too Bouncy. (He’s made out of a giant beach ball.) He’ll do. I’m going to display him over a fake flaming cauldron. #wizardofoz #wicked

Not sure this will succeed. Had this idea I could make Oz’s head out of a beach ball.
The texture of this one is sticky & gross. It picks up hair & lint like it’s its job.
Since I have nothing to lose, I used some acrylic paint to shape the head. I don’t know if that will stay or peel off.

Think I got my Glinda set up for Halloween— just need to add some fishing line to hang her up.

I really like this brand of ramen I got at Costco. I actually long for it sometimes— not sure if it’s the spice or what.
