I was in New York recently for a quick visit. Caught up with some amazing and dear friends.
The only photos I took were of two bodega cats.

Seems about right.

Tomorrow night! A PIGEON SAT ON A BRANCH REFLECTING UPON EXISTENCE at the Chicago Drafthouse.

I love this strange film.

Packing my apartment for an upcoming, short move. Nostalgia is not conducive to efficiency, but man it is fun.

Evidence that my name has always been mostly spelled correctly. Mostly.

Saw a McDonalds-themed Black Sabbath cover band have a BLUE VELVET moment last night.

Support weird shit. It’s what is getting us through these times.

Do you like my new nose?

An absolutely terrible picture of me, but I’m happy another volunteer captured my joy of giving my Sunday mornings to a pet rescue.

International Cat Day? As if I need an excuse to share these two.
Agatha- left, floofy
Cora- right, bad attitude

Home is where the Cora is. Also, that beer behind her helps.

Happy 58th wedding anniversary to my parents!

Can you imagine standing one person for that long?

This week’s screening is DEAD DICKS! Come out to the Chicago Drafthouse to watch weirdo indie horror and heal your soul.

What a great New Flesh jury at Fantasia this year…

Don’t need to wear a horror shirt. Brought my Bub tattoo with me.

Volunteering at a pet rescue means occasionally avoiding reality and replacing doom scrolling with puppy playtime.

I highly recommend it.
