Gased up my wife's car, dragged my feet on mine so guess I'll do it today. I swear if I see a "Pain At The Pump" news segment I'm gonna turn into the Joker. And not just any Joker, the shitty one from Dark Knight Strikes Again, which looks like something Frank Miller vomited out in five minutes.

Watched a good movie and a shitty movie over the weekend, so I guess it balances out. The Bone Temple is just as good as people say. I really hope we get a third movie to close things out. Jurassic World Rebirth is the polar opposite, a movie that has no reason to exist other than because it can.

The whole Platner thing is so stupid, like anything less than someone straight-up saying "yes, I am a nazi" means there's reasonable doubt on the matter.

Yesterday, I accidentally ordered a stout, and by God, it was awful-tasting. Saloon Doors Tasty AF: combo of nitro milk, chocolate, and peanut butter. I can stomach the occasional porter, but stouts, ugh, cannot cross the bridge.

Went out yesterday to Waco for some fresh air. We ate at Kitok Restaurant, went to Golden's Book Exchange and got a ton of books, and I had a couple beers at Cricket's Drafthouse and Grill. It was nice.

Look, The Atlantic sucks, but don't do this sort of thing when you're a candidate. Gives the media a bad case of main character syndrome and they get all pissy. Also freedom of the press, blah, blah, blah etc.

I voted today, went with Talarico. His campaign has emphasized that billionaires are the problem, who I put quite a bit of blame for giving us Trump 2.0. They need to go down.

Got yet another recommendation for The Bone Temple, so maybe gonna check it out this weekend. But first, gawd, I am so damn squirrely I gotta get out for a bit. Maybe do a day in Waco, check out some museums and such and have lunch at the Piovar Czech place. Beer garden sounds like my thing.

One of the biggest fundamental differences between me and my wife is she has a policy of unearned forgiveness of others and while I try to let things roll of my back and grant it where earned, sorry, shit on me enough times and it ain't gonna happen.

Watched Nightmare Alley in black and white instead of watching dipshit lie his face off about how everything is great, but if it weren't, then it was somebody else's fault. It's a movie where a grifter eventually gets their comeuppance. What a concept, pure fiction! Well, maybe some day.

Watched The Wild Robot last night. I know we're at peak AI and robot-hating (and rightly so), still, it was a cute flick that had a lotta heart. Had to have a palette cleaner after watching 1917. Catching up on a lotta movies lately.

Can't think of anything less I'd like to do tonight than hear a doped-up clown rant about his imaginary accomplishments and grievances all while the media sanewashes the ever-loving shit out of it. Anything would be better. Call somebody, read a book, do some cleaning, anything.

Regardless of what you think about Will Stancil, The Verge's article is the type of gossipy bullshit that makes people intentionally tune out any type of media or news and the wagon-circling just goes to show you are either someone in the club or not, which is always something that irks me.

So I was looking at doing a hot air balloon ride at Lake Tahoe. It's $400...per person. Imagine if the hot air balloon finale in Police Academy 4 was filmed today. It would have broke the bank. Less inflation and more aviation, I say!

Weird ass dreams last night. A trilogy! Dreamt I was on a mission to space, then trying to sneak onto a plane to France through a McDonald's playpen somehow (when's the last time you saw one of those?), and finally back sweating through classes at community college.

Booked the hotels for the Lake Tahoe trip. It's all just wishing until you finally do something concrete, then planning the rest falls into place.

Say what you want about the newer God of War games (I think positive masculinity Kratos is boring, and I called it after dealing with the janky combat system for about 45 minutes), but David Jaffe is the pinnacle of the guy who is bitter about anybody taking a crack at the series beside him.

Planning the Lake Tahoe trip in earnest, and while it would be really cool to rent a rustic cabin or stay at a fancy resort, I'm OK with just doing a hotel. Deals through the Caesar Rewards app look pretty decent, actually. Sure it might be tackier, but it's still a Lake Tahoe trip.
