Feels pretty cool even if I’m nowhere near knowing French for real.

Let’s see if the label cops tag this image because of Duo’s butt.

15 = F*** Marry Kill. A film I know nothing about but the title. I had it in my head that this was a slasher but IMDb tagged it as mystery / romance.

I was like what the hell is this name. And then realized it was from an I Think You Should Leave bit.

Site 1 continues to crush it. Great juicy IPA.

Getting some steps in after the win and this came on the shuffle to remind me to credit my Blenderman Jared Bednar #GoAvsGo

The lighting in my kitchen isn’t really doing justice to the color of this Red IPA. Site 1 Brewing is 5 for 5 for me now I think.

This one is great. It’s kinda giving that toast a marmalade flavor

This Husker game is going to require more beer.

Really cool can design from a close-to-local brewery that just opened a beer garden in town last month.

Got the new @joe-hill.bsky.social KING SORROW.

Finally watched The Black Phone yesterday now that the sequel is close to streaming release. I’m a Hillhead for sure.

Fully ready for this 877 page monster to hurt me just in time for the holidays. If not emotionally, it may bring elbow pain.

Felt like the right choice for Hockey Fights Cancer night. I was hoping it would be more vibrantly hued — but it sure tastes purple.

I had to try an Oatmeal Cream Pie beer. It’s boozier than you’d guess at 8% but works pretty well. Especially if compared to something like the recent Snickers stout I posted which was only 7 and still felt like liquid diabetes.

Crusher of a West Coast Pils from Crooked Stave & Ratio.

Also, love the can with space kitties

Weldwerks taking a big swing. Attempting a Snickers beer.

This thing is so sweet it’ll make your teeth hurt. Probably could’ve hid way more ABV behind this but I’m also thankful to not be kicking my evening off with a 14% behemoth.

Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains
October 29, 2025 at 4:01 PM
Ha.

Spooky season is year round for me. I live in a haunted house and watch and read more horror than 10 goth girlfriends

Hell, I just got Vampire Bloodlines 2 installed on the Xbox today!

This little stinker! He’s now just perched here and scared to move.
