Life is what happens when life happens, so you let it happen and you life it the best that you can and know your best is the best that the best can be cause you're you and it's life.

It is amazing that an MTA multi-bus trip can take 15 minutes or 1 hour based on luck, traffic, time of day and I'm sure other factors. I am lucky my trip home was the 15 cause nature was calling and wouldn't stay on hold longer. Another day, another long visit with mom at rehab, life void limbo.

Doing my best to live is living to do my best is my best to doing living.

2025 Retrospective (The Good Stuff)

The Ax by Donald Westlake is one of my favorite books. OLD BOY is one of my favorite films. I am excited when this moves from setup into the batshit crazy that made it something Park would tackle.

The hour has passed, my birthday is today. I am a year older. I have not aged in 10 years, I have aged 100 years. As I enter this new year, I think of those so important to popculture who left us in the last 48 hours and think. Godspeed to Adam the Woo, James Ransone, Chris Rea, Vince Lampella

You think Captain Jack, Dr. Feelgood and Mr. Brownstone ever hung out and compared sales and customers?

I binged the entirety of season 2 of Gen V in one day. I am not sure how I pulled this off, but I I am on episode 8 and I assume this must be the end. I didn't check episode count, its more fun to just watch and see how far I get.

For those that need to know: I am scheduled to arrive in Vegas on April 14th at 2:06 PM. This is almost an hour earlier than originally planned as Delta has advised me of the change. So much can still change between now and then, but I've been told and now you have too.

It's a NEW Nerd Notes! popculturespectrum.com/nerd-notes-2...

All Queens buses have illogical routes and schedules.

Morality question: If you get too much change back but don't realize/think about it till much later, should you feel guilty? What if what you bought to eat turns out not being good?

After a long stressful (always, just the circumstances) afternoon visiting mom I look forward to my regular Tuesday nights of BMD, EFFY, GCWorld Podcast, minimal, bionicbenbo, etc. And ADHD + YT catchup. Tonight's dinner plan is burger and fries. I stand here waiting bus 2 home.

Cranberry Jones was the rootnest tootinest cowboy of 3067, where the wild wild west made its reutrn surrounded by the most modern futuristic city one could imagine.

A midget dressed as Frankenstein's Monster just attacked a dwarf dressed as a troll in the corner of the room. Then they argued about whose singer was better Slipknot and Stone Sour. I didn't have the heart to tell them.

The promised Part 2 of a 12-4-2025 Nerd Notes: popculturespectrum.com/nerd-notes-1...

New Nerd Notes for 12-4-25, but a bunch of stuff dropped today so there will be a Part 2 before midnight: popculturespectrum.com/nerd-notes-2...

When did everyone just start thinking that not using headphones was acceptable behavior?

I've neglected bluesky for a bit, so as I lie here taking a life break with a cat on my leg I shall rectify that in threads. First up: things have been in waves for mother. Yesterday she showed the most improvement yet in speech. Full complete sentences. It didn't last as she became fatigued, but..

Just three days until the scribbly adventure Scrabdackle lands on Steam ⏰ The complete first act offers a rich, vast world handcrafted by jakefriend (aka Jake) full of heart and wonder 🗺️ To check it out, wishlist now and get notified at launch ✅ 🪄 bit.ly/Scrabdackle

After seeing mom have a very successful session of occupational therapy and getting to see my adopted family I'm feeling chipper today. Treated myself to quality fennel seed for lamb dinner dish at Holiday Market, as well as finds at Academy (Oingo Boingo-Boingo & Robo Wars 4K $38). Next: haircut.

Things have not been easy but Mom is now in an acute rehab. My mental health has fluctuated. Here's some recent photography, aka sanity.

Things are just really hard right now.

My mother had a stroke on Sunday and is currently in hospital and I am just in that more than anything & just tryig to stay strong. Realized I have many people on here who don't follow me on Instagram and/or FB or are even in my Discord circles that my silence was without note.

People use social media for many things. I am using it to state I might not use it for awhile.

A great watch and while I've really tried to keep my Keeper playing slow because who knows when the next Double Fine magic will come our way this makes me want to dive in faster, then replay with new eyes and all that jazz.

I only watch others play DBD and read lore online.

I don't discuss my personal life on social media much if it all, but while I have things to look forward to, life also as a whole is really stressfull currently and I "hide it" through my pop-culture loves and joys.

Sanity is a fallacy. There is only stability... whatever that is.

In other news: I beat Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Now what?

I wanna enjoy AEW because of the roster and talent, but the writing/booking actually really gets in the way for me personally. And on a show like AEW where Tony can have plenty people guiding him but the decisions made still seem ?!? its glaring.

That premiere to It: Welcome to Derry was just so damn good. I'm excited to see where this goes since it's a combination of interludes from the og book not used in the films and also original material. Also I've seen the bad reviews and I don't believe any of them have read IT or any King book.

Right now I'm watching tons of wrassles but earlier today I was playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on LUNA cause Prime changed their deal and it's even better now. Hope it stays in the program long enough for me to finish it, cause it is bigger than any stream ever made me realize.

so much stuff, never enough time.

You know what's cool? Having fun playing a game, then hitting a puzzle with no hints to solve and too many pieces to brute force, then running out of health and being killed and the last save point being no where near. Yup, fun. Luckily just a demo.

Unfiltered thoughts on demos I played during #SteamNextFest Autumn 2025. popculturespectrum.com/steamnext-fe...

It's been three weeks so I think was time for a new Nerd Notes. I'm sure they'll be something in here you missed that will be on your interest. Trailers for movies/tv/games/books, music of ALL genres, short documentary pieces and behind the scenes. popculturespectrum.com/a-truly-larg...

Currently watching #NHB48 and #ACTIONPlay

These are just @leepetty.bsky.social paintings. Literally this is just a digital book of paintings by Lee Petty. (okay it's a whole lot more, but also) #Keeper

Today is @doublefine.com x @leepetty.bsky.social KEEPER day. There are still tons of demos from Steam Next Fest but the minute I learned of KEEPER I knew I'd want it. So it's mine.

Fuck this is such a good upload in 2025. Time travel... www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEox...

Time for 9-1-1 jumps the shark a second time by going into space. (shark jump #1 was Beenado). Yet I love this show and also this cast.

These moderators are absolute shite. #NYCMayoralDebate

We're fucked.

They ALL failed on the first question. Completely failed. Yup, here we go. #NYCMayoralDebate

#SteamNextFest is Live. So pretend like I'm not here, cause I'm over there.

This is a lot of rain for many hours.
