Enjoyer of science fiction, fantasy, comics, video games, whiskey and porn. Not necessarily in that order, and often at the same time.

For the record, I'm 50 years old, cis, white, and strai...hmm. Okay, I'm a bit bent. Maybe a bit more than a bit.
The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen comes to mind.

Though I do enjoy the steampunk superhero film we got, that could have been so much more.

Figure I spent around $2500, plus added a new monthly payment for the car loan.

Anybody want to spot me $100-150k so I can be solvent again?

Happy Hol...ymackerel!

Yeah, they fucked it up again. This is getting old.

Supes developed a thing for giant green fists in one of the Marvel crossovers.

I have a house now, and there's very little outside noise. I don't use the headphones any more, but I still play some kind of long form audio to lull me to sleep.

Dunno if that will help with true insomnia, but I sleep like a corpse this way.

I work nights. Had an apartment neighbor who spent his day screaming at the cat, tv, walls...

I swear I was nearing a psychotic episode from lack of sleep.

Headphones playing films I've seen a hundred times was the solution.

Shut off the outside, give me something to both focus on and ignore.

It really is insane just how funny Cleese used to be.

Yeah, it's the marinara. This stuff isn't good.

Burger. And onion rings.

Culver's.

Tried the burger on toasted rye this time, and it is SO much better than their usual buns.

Also ordered marinara for the onion rings since I'm being experimental. That doesn't work all that well. Not sure if it's the combination or this prepackaged marinara.

I like it. Got that sexy assassin/spy vibe.

Gonna miss that car.

The new one is nice, and going from an '05 to a '24 is a healthy jump. Getting significantly better gas mileage, too.

But the new one is also a compact rather than a mid-size. And it doesn't have a CD changer.

Absolutely.

I can do 10000 steps without breaking a sweat.

I can't do that for five minutes without having a heart attack.

I've tried.
