Happy Thanksgiving Weekend (least in the States)! Nothing witty or profound to write here, just getting the blog post in and going back to a time spent with family. Because sometimes real life is more important than overthinking pop-culture. Sometimes.

Eleven Thirty
I’ve just realized it’s nearly 11:30pm on a Saturday and I haven’t started a blog post. It’s been another long week, one capped with a friend visiting this weekend so my time in front of my computer has been limited, even less my time spent thinking of some witty and/or insightful rant/essay to write. It… Continue reading Eleven Thirty
Break
I’ve had a busy week at work, having pulled enough hours at the day job that I’ve found myself dreaming in Adobe Premiere multiple nights in a row. Which is a weird way to dream, since a non-linear editing software does not make for riveting visuals. Perhaps even more surreal is that my respites from… Continue reading Break
Not Just A Hobby
One of my (arguably too many) hobbies is LEGO. Like, buying sets, building sets, and then making my own stuff. Honestly, "hobby" is probably an understatement; this has been a lifelong passion of mine, as attested to by the multitude of storage drawers on the desk next to me as I write this. There’s a… Continue reading Not Just A Hobby
Barbenheimer
9:30 AM There are two movies coming out this weekend that are very different. They also make a great double feature because of how different they are. At last, it’s time for Barbenheimer 10:15 AM I’m starting my day off with Oppenheimer. I’m a big fan of Nolan so I’m really curious about this movie.… Continue reading Barbenheimer
Another Week
Oh man, it’s Saturday already? And I’ve gotta get something else on this blog? Maybe I’ll phone it in this week, since I did post a whole-ass essay last week. Truth be told, I’m noodling on another, though this one’s gonna be less Tolkien and more MSN. Which is a weird sentence to write, but… Continue reading Another Week
Interim
Huh, this week got away from me. Turns out planning for an overseas trip while working overtime doesn’t give you too much time to work on that essay you had planned about The Lord of The Rings and war. Especially when that essay starts getting longer than usual. But it’s coming. Honest. I do realize… Continue reading Interim
Too Many Streams
I was an early supporter of Netflix streaming; I remember talking my family into signing up and being able to enjoy watching TV shows and movies online (without having to download them!). It wasn’t new, per se, I remember missing an episode of the 5th season of Lost and being able to watch it the… Continue reading Too Many Streams
Sick Day
I’ve been laid up for the past few days, and so, sadly, I have not yet finished reading Jacques the Fatalist. So in lieu of putting together a coherent blog post today, I’ll toss out a few things I’ve been enjoying lately. Abbott Elementary This show fills the hole for warm, kind comedies that I… Continue reading Sick Day
Again
It’s been a week in the United States. We started off last Saturday with another mass shooting and ended it yesterday with the release of another video of police officers murdering a Black man. This all feels so repetitive, as if every few months it’s time for our scheduled Terrible, Unpreventable Occurrence that seems to… Continue reading Again
Essays, Not Rants!
