My 2025!

I was part of @comicsbeat.bsky.social creator survey again. Check it at their website comicsbeat.com

Going into 2026 like…

Happy new year!! #ChampagneAtMidnight

I was leaning towards 1 & 4. The original idea was the black vest w/ white stripes. While 1 won out by a few votes (b/w social media and the about 20 people I texted), 3 was a close second. Followed closely (by 1 vote) with 4 and then 2 was the least fave. So I went with 3!

For some reason in South Korea, the song "As You Wish" by K-Pop girl group WJSN (aka Cosmic Girls) has become an annual New Year's Eve song. Who am I to break tradition? And it's a banger! HAPPY NEW YEAR! youtu.be/d5Zck7TLVaM?...

What to wear to work for NYE? (Dots on tie are blue. As is trim on white pocket square).

I decided to check out the "purchased" part of my wish list since it's past Xmas. If I haven't thanked you for the Star Wars calendar or LaCoste v-neck sweater...please don't think me ungrateful. I haven't gotten them yet. Check your delivery status & lmk so you can FIGHT THEM ABOUT IT! 😁

Got an Xmas package today from my cousin Laura. Included along w/ the other gifts...a 4 pack of CHEERWINE!! YES!

This whole thing sucks. So much red tape. Hard to know what is true or not but I feel bad for New Jeans. They went from one of the most popular K-Pop groups to a LONG hiatus to now split apart. I hope Danielle finds a new group or maybe some solo work as well. 🤬😪 www.soompi.com/article/1808...

My fave Christmas present from you to me would be for you to subscribe and listen to my podcast COMIC NEWS INSIDER! www.comicnewsinsider.com

Happy anniversary to the greatest film ever! #ItsAWonderfulLife

Sad Batman cuz post birthday blues & upcoming hard candy Xmas. I love this time of year but have been feeling low. Unloved. Worthless. Burdensome. But I do look forward to upcoming days off to try to capture the Xmas spirit. Hope everyone has a happy happy!

New Xmas tie!

Still the greatest entrance of a character in cinematic history. #ItsAWonderfulLife #ViolertBicks

Birthday whiskey in honor of Cass. Miss you every day bud. Can’t believe it’s been just over a year since we lost you.

Happy birthday, John. Miss you, bud.

Another mystery gift from a mystery sender! Who sent me this awesome HUNTR/X ornament? Love it!

You’ll never guess what today is.

Birthday outfit time. New shirt (stripes are burgundy red). First 3 choices have same tie with different pocket squares. I’ll be wearing black pants. Which one?

I'm watching my fave movie ever, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. And just as midnight hits (officially now my birthday), the ending scene w/ the angel Clarence's note to George happens. TEARS. 😭

Yes or yes? #birthday

COMIC NEWS INSIDER 1680 - Thought Bubble Festival: Avery Hill Special 2 - Karenza Sparks/Sara Kenney! Great talks w/ Karenza & Sara! #ComicNewsInsider #ThoughtBubbleFestival www.comicnewsinsider.com/episodes/cni... @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social

COMIC NEWS INSIDER 1679 - Thought Bubble Festival: Avery Hill Special - Donya Todd/Katriona Chapman! Great talk w/ @donyatodd.bsky.social about THE WITCH'S EGG. And lovely talk w/ @katrionachapman.bsky.social about the Avery Hill exhibit. #ComicNewsInsider www.comicnewsinsider.com/episodes/cni...

It’s adorable how he makes this claim. Let’s see: I know the history of Kpop, listen to 1st & 2nd gen groups not just current ones, know the history of multiple groups, listen to both girl AND boy bands, have a friend who was an actual Kpop idol (Kim Bohyung of SPICA), etc. THE MASTER HAS SPOKEN! 🫶🏼🫰🏽

My pal @themightylayman.bsky.social sent me an early bday gift to help seal the honmoon! Thx, bud!
