The Fellowship of the Ring. My friend fell asleep & didn’t even wake up when her mom screamed “oh my lord!” at an orc being beheaded. And her brothers were at the same movie by sheer coincidence.
Also Alice in Wonderland in Germany. Different language (that I also speak) totally changed the vibe.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Only 18 of these stickers left, and they’re not getting a reprint. If you want one before they potentially sell out at my event this weekend, get one at unicornhunterdesigns.storenvy.com

Horatio seriously just woke up from a nap with a giant ball of his own floof sitting on his nose, and what did he do to remove the offending floof from his nose? He straight up ate it. In one bite, before I could stop him.

A band I was in for 5 months kicked me out yesterday. This was so abrupt. We just played a show out of town and had another one coming up.
This is the 3rd time I’ve been kicked out of a band, but only the first time that it came completely out of left field like that. I didn’t see it coming at ALL.

Refusing to work with Israeli academics means refusing to work with one of the main sources of dissent within Israeli society. To be sure, their views are not uniform, but that is a reason to avoid broad based bans,

Attention WA/Seattle area!
Oscar is a 5 year old male (fixed) cat looking for a home! His owner recently passed away and my brother is looking for a new home for him. He's up to date on all his shots.
If you know anyone who is looking for a companion, let me know! Boosts are appreciated.

My 2 main nicknames for Horatio have always been Floofins and Mr. Moo. Somehow, I recently combined them and have been calling him “Mr. Moofins” lately.

These are most of the stickers I have available. If you think any of these (or cat necklaces or keychains) seem like good Halloween presents, Christmas presents, cool new things for yourself, etc. you can check them out at unicornhunterdesigns.storenvy.com

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.
My friends, they have lost the flag.
