Watching Thirteen Ghosts, one of my favorite movies. We watched it in the theater when it came out & the jackal gave me nightmares.

Far from perfect, but so much fun, the DVD we have has an extra features disc with the background story on each ghost. #13ghosts #thejackalghost #horrormovies

Currently reading: “Hypocrisy” by A.J. Thibault

It blends science fiction, espionage, and moral satire in a gripping tale of identity, power, & survival. The ultimate battle is not between species, but between truth & self-deception.

Currently reading "Civil Living" by Pete Wiley. 📚

Is civility dead—or just waiting to be rediscovered?
In a world growing more divided, loud, & combative, it offers a refreshing and practical invitation to reclaim the art of respectful, meaningful connection.

Just started reading "Where Despair Comes To Play" by Clifton Wilcox. It starts strong with the dedication: "To you, reader - you opened this book. Whatever happens next is not my fault." A man in prison is taunted by three voices: Paranoia, Delusion, and Dissociation. #Reading #DarkFantasy #Horror

Who's ready for the new season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds? I am! Last night I watched the last two episodes of season 2 to get ready for season 3 dropping today on Paramount. I had totally forgotten that it ended on a cliffhanger as they are dealing with the Gorn. #startrek #gorn

Currently reading "The Immortal Witness" by Clifton Wilcox for a review. I'm only on the Prologue and I'm already impressed; can't wait to read more. “Civilizations do not die from outside forces, he insisted – they rot from within when they lose the memory of humility.” #theimmortalwitness #fiction

Me: OMG, I can't wait to see the new Mission Impossible movie.

Finding out it's 2hrs 50mins long: That's okay, I'll wait until it's streaming.

I really don't have the patience to watch a movie that's more than 2 hours long, especially at a movie theatre.

Currently watching Thirteen Ghosts, the updated one, not the classic. It's one of my favorite movies and while it may not be perfect, I like the ghosts. This one, The Jackal, is especially creepy, MF gave me nightmares. #thirteenghosts #thejackal #horrormovies #ghosts

Just finished watching the new Kevin Bacon series on Amazon Prime. It's pretty good. It reminds me of Supernatural, demon hunting and all. And the soundtrack, cool tunes. All 8 episodes are available now. #thebondsman #kevinbacon #demonhunting #Lilith

Currently reading: Fire: Ash Book 1 by Hristina Bloomfield. It started out good with a fire breaking out in town. I'm only in Chapter 6, so we'll see. It's a mystery/suspense.
