Still the same guy as all the other networks. I love Lego! Metal! Writing! Actually does anyone love writing? But I’ve had some success. Short fiction published here and there. What else? Edmonton Oilers!

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

A book with a story of mine next to a volume of Stormlight Archive! Doesn’t mean much but makes me happy.
“The Librarian” on the shelves of the local library.

They don’t make them like this anymore. Danzig III How the Gods Kill. Did it up because my friend is moving on from the cafe! He’s starting buying CDs for some reason and he loves the title track (which I introduced him to) so it’ll make a nice going away present.

Those minifigs! I love that they included Guinan. And they nailed Dr Crusher’s hair. The enterprise looks pretty great too tho the 1701-D always looked like a toy to me. And now it is!

I’ve been intending to reread the three Cosmere novels that I started this whole thing with once I’m caught up with stormlight. There were so many spoilers in them but I didn’t know anything about it so they didn’t really spoil anything for me. Especially Sunlit Man!

Started Oathbringer but paused it so I can read this novella that takes place in between Words of Radiance and Oathbringer. Luckily the library had it with no wait!

What a game! Ups and downs but not down and out! #letsgooilers

Went for cardiac ultrasound today. Kind of fun actually. And my doc just called already said everything is normal and good. Which I already suspected because my current status is: alive. And not just alive, kicking ass!

In fairness to Bouchard you know he’s gonna do that like ten fifteen times a season but come the playoffs he gets them all back.

Oilers fourth game tonight! I wish the islanders’ new kid Schaefer a very fruitful career but I also hope our guys make him look silly tonight.

Congratulations to Guelph MFA alum @teresempierre.bsky.social on the release of #ASTHEEARTHDREAMS (House of Anansi), out now!

Edited by Terese Mason Pierre, this groundbreaking anthology of speculative fiction uplifts the spectacular imaginings, reflections, and hopes of Black writers in Canada.

Reread Spock Must Die! By James Blish. Can see why 10yo me liked it. The Klingons get grounded for a thousand years at the end of it by the Organians so not exactly canon. Though they would be nearly free by the time of later seasons of Discovery. Missing the author’s note! Page IX doesn’t exist.

Got my little oilers section at work so I can always check the schedule and maybe say a quick “bless us bob” when things are dire. And they are often dire!

Do you know what’s hard for me? Validating my partner. I can apologize and take responsibility when I mess up but validation has always been a bit mysterious to me. I even have a worksheet! But I’m still terrible. I would like some good resources - preferably 20 years ago but today will work too.

Oilers season starts tonight! Just listening on the radio for me tho. During the teachers strike we’re cutting down on all non essential costs and Sportsnet is almost but not quite essential. And who doesn’t love Bob Stauffer?

Anyone know a good used book store (for science fiction) in Pittsburgh, PA? Visiting at the moment.

US technical death metal band #Fleshbore have released a drum playthrough video with Robin Stone.

What is the purpose - the intent - of locking out the teachers when they are already on strike? Doesn’t it make them look like bad guys even to people who might’ve been on their side?
October 6, 2025 at 11:34 PM
So yeah. Michelle is on strike starting tomorrow. How long will it last? A day? A week? A month? More? No way to know. But the last five years has been just one uncertainty after another. I guess you get used to it. All I know to do is just be kind and compassionate.

Nice day for a protest!

Ayush reminded me that two years ago today we saw orbit culture! And avatar. His first concert. Orbit Culture releasing a new album tomorrow. Kind of surprised I haven’t heard more about it especially since not much else is dropping tomorrow afaik…

Found some treasures up in my garage loft today. Ayush saw a corrosion of confomity shirt at the concert that he liked and I told him I once drew that logo on an old cassette I had. Found it! And a beat up copy of Spock Must Die.
