the thing i’m most proud of in my entire life is the brief period in high school when i changed the Windows shutdown sound on our family computer to that clip of Megatron saying, “Wait, I still function…” from Transformers: The Movie.

anyone wanna come over and learn how to play the Battletech CCG (from 1996!) with me..?

this week’s Savers (and local resell shop) stack.

just bought a random box of comics for $20 at a local auction. no idea what’s inside, but eager to dig into ‘em later.

as if i wasn’t feeling super-old already, my celebrity lookalike from when i was a teen died.

i’ve never read a Harlequin novel, but this really bums me out because lately it feels like -everything- is ending or shutting down.

i wasn’t watching TMNT after the first few years, but the start of the Red Sky seasons would have melted my brain if i was keeping up back then. i’m watching “Get Shredder!” now and the Channel 6 building gets destroyed — and never appears again!

fucking awesome.

just discovered that i -finally- get MeTV Toons and i’m pretty sure i’m never changing the station again.

absolutely gutted.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 📲

this is one of my all-time favorite comics. i was twelve (and only a month away from being a teen) when it came out. i love this issue — and the early run of Generation X — for so many reasons, but most of all because i could relate to being a kid who felt alone and on the outside.

actually found something on the Savers grab-bag wall. feels like it’s been forever. today’s total haul.

time for my semi-regular meltdown about the sheer amount of -stuff- that i own.

this is who runs this account

Fill a Trinket Bag for $5.00 at a local thrift co-op. what will i find lurking within the basket of goodies..? stay tuned!

bizarro.

The WIZARDS team is devastated to report that our dear friend and co-host, @williambwest.bsky.social suffered a stroke this week and is in the hospital. His recovery time is uncertain, but you can support this husband and father of two at this GoFundMe link gofund.me/3ce4a7cf7

set up is complete. first show at the Kingston Mall.

Hey internet strangers, a long time writer friend of mine and one of the earliest supporters of TBQ suffered a stroke this week and if using my platform can help his beautiful family in any way, I'm happy to do it! gofund.me/212e79a0f

new paperback pick-ups.

Anyone who devalues “online friends” compared to IRL friends has never met someone like @williambwest.bsky.social. I only know what’s in the GoFundMe link below, but William has a major health scare going on and he and his family need financial support. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

heck, i’ve been going to the theater a lot lately. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

i’m gonna be vending at the very first Retro Market hosted by Cowabunga Collectibles. this Saturday, the 24th, from noon to 4:00pm at the Kingston Mall.

i bought a $5.99 mystery grab-bag from Newbury Comics and here’s what i pulled. easily the best one i’ve picked up in recent memory.

not sure why it took me so long to realize that what i should have studied and pursued a career in is library or archival work.

why didn’t anyone tell me there’s a three-part story where Johnny Blaze teams up with Warpath and Wyatt Wingfoot to fight ancient trickster gods..?

this has been happening a lot lately.

what will i find in the “two-dollar junk room” at the local vintage co-op..? (this would absolutely be a -huge- post if i was still blogging.)

really wanna commission an homage to this featuring Jubilee, M, Husk and Penance from Generation X, with Jubes saying, “We are the Mutants, mister.”

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

today’s Savers stack. (lots of weird, old MGM releases that i have not seen before.)

odd find at the local thrift co-op. DVDs that were included with monthly issues of Newtype USA (an anime-focused magazine) from the ‘00s. each disc features a few random episodes and a boatload of trailers for various anime series.

remembering the red-eye flight i took with JetBlue back in 2006 where i watched episodes of 2 Stupid Dogs the entire time. every consecutive episode felt more and more deranged. and i haven’t watched the show since.

potential ongoing thread: 2026 is the year i knock out some serious cinematic blindspots. starting with…

Halfway through the decade! What are your favorite films each year so far? 2020: Love and Monsters 2021: Malignant 2022: Prey 2023: Godzilla Minus One 2024: Flow 2025: Wake Up Dead Man

new year, still adding to my collection of vintage horror paperbacks that i’ll never read.

my new book, Mental Health Crisis in the Parking Lot of Dollar Tree, is releasing in the summer of 2067. reserve your copy today!

there’s no way that y’all didn’t already know this, but 2025 is the year i finally noticed the TMNT popping up in Batman Returns. merry Christmas!

a vendor at the flea market had a huge bin of Pez dispensers marked 2/$1.00. so, of course, i went overboard.

yes please.

an ex texted earlier and shared this pic of me that she had packed away since high school. it’s fucking crazy that she — or anyone — ever agreed to date me.

i haven’t posted a weekly Savers stack in a while.

i’ve really done it now.

is this the perfect double-feature..?

@professorxradio.bsky.social — really enjoyed the show yesterday. thanks again for playing Archers of Loaf!

forty-four. and still no good at selfies.

guess i have to start posting videos or something, right?

somehow i actually know two of these songs.

few cheap smalls (and a kick-ass cassette) that i found at the thrift.
