Well, not the _whole_ week. Friday, I'm in love.

In which I talk about podcasts; award Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer one Internet Quatloo for being GenX-friendly; and serve up a fresh plate of hot memes. Enjoy!

Oh, hey! I know that guy! I also know the artist they're complimenting. Cedar Sanderson does some amazing work. Every illustration or cover I've seen from her is absolutely top-notch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH72...

Sigh. Same thing every year, isn't it?

I had the chance to do an interview with Amy a while back - she's a wonderful lady. I'm looking forward to hearing her talk about this with Talia! 7pm ET at bit.ly/3NA3YRr

Mike recorded a bit of audio; I had some images and access to iMovie...

I have never in my life felt more SEEN. From: cakezine.substack.com/p/how-bakers...

Biblically accurate bunnehs.

Wisdom.

Ah, those were the days, when Barrens chat could cause you to lose SAN in real life.

Role-playing, murderous gnomes, spectral horses, and your weekly allotment of memes. Don't spend them all in one place now, y'hear?

Finally found the time to read Twelve Months. First chapter nearly made me cry. Last chapter DID make me cry. Well done.

With the winter storm coming, now is a good time to lay in some supplies. You know—bread, milk, eggs, toilet paper... and some reading for when you need the TP. I recommend "One October Night", "Sigils", and a selection of Raconteur Press anthologies. Order now while Amazon can still get to you!

"You don't understand—you'll be locked away in a Vault! Completely isolated from society, cut off from the outside world! You won't even know what's happening out here!" "Dude, I already said I'm in. You don't have to sell me on it."

I'm pretty sure there's a monkey's paw on the back end somewhere, too.

Charts and graphs and bars, oh my! Don't worry, there's no actual numbers. There are memes, though. And a bit of me being soppy about my wife. But mostly memes.

I had a great time recently talking to Dominic de Souza or Legend Fiction about SIGILS, #Pittsburgh, #graffiti n’at. ;-)

Huh. “With iPhone 14 or later (all models), you can send iMessages or SMS messages via satellite when you’re off the grid.” support.apple.com/en-us/120930

You get memes AND a bit of ghostly flash fiction today. Enjoy!

Chills, every time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS0N...

Look, it's Pittsburgh. It happens. Just roll with it, man. "I hadn’t planned to end the evening dancing with a ghost. That was before I rounded the corner of Fifth and Magee and nearly ran through Joseph Dawson." Read more at "Callipygous Waltz": samrobbwrites.substack.com/p/ninktober-...

In other exciting news, Jo's book is finally out! I'm looking forward to this one.

Mood(s).

Well, I've got THAT nailed. What's next?

First Meme Dump of 2026. As well as the first coffee spill. Read on for details.

Not me. I'm still stuck on 2022.

Another year older; hopefully with many more yet to come.

"All you need is that one book that will connect with you."

ZCQOTD: "Big city denizens, especially NYC, are some of the most provincial, parochial rubes I've ever met."

After spending a rigorous five minutes of trying to determine what posts yinz guys and all y'all liked best, I fell back on the time-honored statistical analysis method of Making It All Up (Twain, 1907).

That's me in the corner That's me at the buffet Loosening my sweatpants Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've ate too much I haven't ate enough...

Something to consider as you head into to the new year. Not making a resolution, but making a plan. I've done that with some success in the past; I am being more deliberate this year.

Who am I to argue with tradition?
