Last night, after I got home from work, we had Chinese food, watched Stranger Things then played Poetry for Neanderthals until midnight. Outside of being sick it was the perfect New Year’s Eve.

I’ve been sick the past few days. Seems to be getting progressively worse. Haven’t been sick like this in a few years. I know RSV was going through my work so it’s quite likely to be that, or some version of the flu.

I’m at this weird place where I want to go back a reread (listen to) all the Stephen King books I didn’t love. There is a million new books out there that I should be reading but my brain is like “Hey, remember Tommyknockers. You hated that one right? Or did you? Mwahaha.”

My girls crying during the Stranger Things Finale: “You just don’t understand having something you grew up with ending!”
Me: “Well…”
Them: “IT’S NOT THE SAME!”
Me: “Well…”
Them: “IT’S NOT THE SAME!”

I have read Stephen King’s It multiple times but the last time was probably 25 years ago. Decided to listen to the audiobook for the first time. Please don’t come at me with that “Stephen King is a great storyteller but not a great writer” bullshit. I forgot how good the writing in this book was.

My step daughter: I don’t think 67 is ever going away!
Me: That would be gnarly!
Her: What?
Me: Rad?
Her: What?
Me: Cringe?
Her: That’s now how you….
Me: Psyche!

Today will be my third and final time seeing The Nutcracker this season, and the second one with my daughter in it.

I have to say there is a perfect moment every other Saturday when I am off of work, and I just dropped off the girls for their Ballet Intensive and we have about 3 hours before we need to take them to their next dance class and we are just sitting on the couch with these two.

People, I’m willing to put up with almost anything to watch your cute puppy video but I have to draw the line at Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You.

So, since my brain is struggling to wrap itself around new fiction I decided to reread Different Seasons (on audio). I totally forgot what an unpleasant experience Apt Pupil is.

Just read @briankeene.bsky.social’s newsletter from last week because I am so behind on life. If anyone needs proof that I am a stepfather to teenager girls I just need to show them that my top two artist of the year on Apple Music were Billie Eilish and the cast of Hamilton.

I feel like I want to do a blog post on Christmas Horror novels but I don’t really blog anymore nor have I read enough Christmas Horror Novels.
I will take recommendations though if anyone has a Christmas Horror novel they enjoyed.

I’ve been in a bit of a book slump. DNF’d my last two audiobooks. Finally finished a book, Polybius by Collin Armstrong. Honestly, my brain wasn’t too into it but I pushed through and ended up really enjoying it.

I want to listen to @brianmcwriter.bsky.social Candy Cain Kills, but out of Audible credits at the moment. Think my next one comes soon but audible lists it as second in the series. I assume it can be read as a standalone. Also, looks like the next book isn’t on audible yet. Wish it was on librio.

This time of year I always hit a book slump, a combination of going on a horror binge in October and all the holiday stuff. I think this is a big reason I often start the year rereading books or a series I love. This year my plan is to reread @richardkadrey.bsky.social’s Sandman Slim series.

Despite fighting the Philly Holiday traffic and pedestrians and our usual Parking Garage being full we had a fun time watching Philly Ballet’s The Nutcracker yesterday at The Academy of Music.

The Hunger Games ripped off Battle Royale and I don’t like the guy who played Shaggy in Scooby Doo are not super edgy hot takes.

At the Philadelphia Ballet performance of the Nutcracker and I’ve only fallen asleep like maybe twice the first act. In my defense I worked all day, didn’t sleep well last night and, outside of the Mice King, the first act is a bit slow. Second act is better.

I just dnf’d my last two audiobooks, not because they were bad but my brain just couldn’t process them right now. Like I wanted chips but tried to eat a steak.

I should be finishing up my current audiobook tomorrow and I have no idea what to read next. Not even sure what kind of book I want to read next.

My mom worked as a direct care provider my whole life. I have worked in various roles for a residential campus for people with IDD and complex medical conditions. Some people try to say that the “r” word isn’t hurtful. Just more PC policing. This is so very untrue.
