I’m absolutely stoked that one of my favorite LA peeps is now on Bluesky! Check out my friend, DJ LIZ! She’s one of the better true DJs here in LA, a freelance writer, reviewer and blogger on LA Culture, film, food and of course music.

Giver her a follow!

So…my son dropped this piece of amazing on me…Skeleton Me.
A fake, plastic skeleton, dressed in a grey hoodie, black hat and glasses sits on a cushioned chair, appearing as if he’s working at a laptop. A can of soda sits within its reach. A close up of the “face” on a fake, plastic skeleton dressed in a hoodie, glasses and a hat. Close up of the feet of a fake plastic skeleton, wearing sandals.

Entering my scary “old man” phase. I hope to use it for good.

My goal is to pull off this predatory look at noon on Tuesday, in line for like the Sanrio store. I wanna do my best Batz Maru .

I see you. And I see *you*.

I’m tired of all this walking backward.

Charles Dickens spitting fire in 1859 about a story taking place in the 1780s with an opening that still rings relevant at the end of 2024.
The opening paragraph to A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. Chapter 1: The Period. The text below reads: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”

Just finished @delilahsdawson.bsky.social ‘s Guillotine…wow. Talk about a book that’s um…timely…

What a wonderfully subversive, righteously angry, violent, critique-cum-adventure about the perversely wealthy, entitlement, power, choice and complicity.

A bloody good time! Smashing!

Do any other immersive fans have a treasure chest (or two) of ephemera?
A jumbled pile of odd souvenirs from immersive shows: a napkin, a ribbon, playing cards, masks, newspapers, a book, a parking ticket

Ugh…all of my C&C stuff is in storage…but I do have a certain…um…cursed diary…
An old beat up book sealed with twine and a rough coin covered in odd symbols. The book lays on a handwritten note, a flyer with “MISSING” written on the top, and a piece of an old newspaper.

“You always remember your first ship…”

The Halcyon.

One year ago, I stepped onto her deck plates and fell in love. I was filled with wonder and excitement. I made family with strangers. I made new friends.

I was a kid again.

Until the stars light our way to similar paths.

Together…

He is wearing a black T-shirt with white letters that read “Keevan & Gaya & Lenka & Sammie & Raithe & Sandro.” on the table before him Are hexagonal shaped plane cards, a pair of metal dice, a coaster bearing the mark of the Halcyon starship various pieces of paper and a large drinking goblet with a gold stem. The drinking goblet is filled with translucent yellowish liquid.

Yesterday, I had the joy of wallowing in existential dread— then escaping from it.

Escape From Godot is fantastic fun…it’s a game and it’s a show; it’s a show and it’s a game. You have to play and watch the show; you have to watch the show and you have to play.

At the same time.

Believe it or not, he’s NOT the lie! He was a really kind and funny while he was on set!
An Africa-American man in his mid-30s, wearing glasses, a black newsies hat and a hoodie smiles broadly as he stands next to a smiling Stan Lee. Stan Lee wears rose colored sunglasses, a lightweight jacket, and a sweater vest. He has his arm around the other man.
