I don't need to look at the clock. I know it's time for bed when I type "Ken Burns" into the discord gif search and expect accurate results instead of k-pop and anime.

A lovely person invited me.

Every good friend I've made in life has been through other friends and/or has captured me with initial effort I didn't match or deserve.

So, amidst the friend diaspora of my middle age, it'd be a crime not to take a good bet to connect with more lovely people.

I really like Jeopardy. I do not at all like their weird fetish for British and other Euro royalty. They're bigger teaboos than any actual Brit I've met.

Shoes step down a dim rainy alley.
Silhouette of a cop emerges, revealing a wary round face, dark skin.
A snorting laugh echoes.
Dissonant violins.
A marching mob wearing brown plastic masks, glasses.
Drums.
A distorted voice through a phone speaker: "...did I do that?"

2025

Specifying things I'm still nostalgic for instead of just things I loved as a child. Probably something like...

Voltron
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Batman: The Animated Series
Animaniacs
The Joy of Painting
Northern Exposure
Simpsons
X-Files
Red Dwarf
The Muppet Show

Vaccinations get!

above the pall looms
an autumnal band ablaze;
below, rain still blows

October is weird because my tastes are super horror-adjacent, but I almost never actually like horror.

Sacrilege as a metal fan, I know.

I often put horror elements into RPG's I run b/c fantasy & sci fi stuff is often horrific. But I REALLY don't care for body horror, gore, and slasher flicks...
