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
Internet Outage
After being mildly unreliable for a couple weeks (seemingly, especially when I was trying to play Destiny online), my internet finally gave up the ghost Thursday night. Then it came back for a bit, died again last night, and has been out of commission most of today. After multiple chats with customer service, my internet… Continue reading Internet Outage
Film Camera, Again
Back in March, I wrote about how I’d bought a film camera. A couple months after that I got a hold of another one, this one with a 50mm lens and manual focus and exposure. Yeah, I went full hipster. Anyway, my sentiments towards shooting on 35mm film, in that it is a bit of… Continue reading Film Camera, Again
Write Write Write
We’re a little more than halfway through November and I’m a little more than halfway towards my goal this NaNoWriMo. A lot of words are being written and, as is my own particular goal for this month, a lot of words are being rewritten. Accordingly, this is my NaNo cop out post, the one where… Continue reading Write Write Write
Elegy For a Hellsite
Due to a particularly egomaniacal billionaire’s purchase of the website, Twitter is all but literally on fire. Staff are fleeing the ship quicker than rats on a sinking ship and it’s anyone’s guess whether the website’s future can be measured in weeks or days. Either way, it’s more than likely the website as we know… Continue reading Elegy For a Hellsite
Trucking On
Alright, first Saturday of November and NaNoWriMo! So far I’ve been trucking on with a daily word count that feels oddly high. Probably because I’m just rewriting stuff I’ve already written so it’s a lot of typing and less thinking, though occasionally I do clean up a passage and rework things to make a little… Continue reading Trucking On
Audiobook!
Hey, remember how I got published not too long ago? Now you can listen to the short story, for free, right here! You can also read it, if that’s your speed, but the audio version is truly wonderful. And yes, this is a post of shameless self-promotion, because it’s my blog and I’ll do what… Continue reading Audiobook!
Ad Breaks
I don’t like watching movies on tv. I know, I know, this sounds like it’s the start of some elitist rant about how movies are better in their original form and have to be enjoyed at 23.976fps with a precise refresh rate and color profile. And that, well, that’s more-or-less true, but I’m also a… Continue reading Ad Breaks
