**** RECORD SCRATCH NOISE **** Yeah…that’s me… …so, funny story about this first ever black eye I now have… 1/5

Karabasr. These guys are everywhere. I’m mildly surprised I wasn’t stopped by Imperial Security when trying to board a starspeeder… #batuupride #batuuspark

About to shuttle over to Batuu East. This is how the gear all comes together. For a first “honest” attempt dressing the part, I’m quite chuffed. ~JoeZer

As warned in an earlier post…these are what I am intending to be wearing while meandering Disney Hollywood Studios tomorrow (Sun 4/12). Now you know. And, knowing is half the battle.

Blah blah blah “Daddy Powers” restored Blah blah blah Hello there, cubs, pups, brodawgs, daddies, sons, muscled teddy bear chasers…

For those of a mind—especially those in/around Orlando—I am set to “invade” Disney Hollywood Studios on Sun (4/12/2026) and have an ADR for Oga’s that night at 9pm, should someone wish to hunt me down… 😉

Took a brief adventure today and visiting a branch of the public library system here. After the better part of 40yrs I am bedecked with a library card again (I can already hear @missingvolume.bsky.social, @sfinsfevents.bsky.social, & maybe @kevidently.bsky.social shouting “FINALLY!”). 1/2

This itinerant Gallifreyan will be in attendance, should any entity desire to find me meandering about on Batuu East…

All righty, RSVLTS. You finally got into my wallet… www.rsvlts.com/products/dis...

For those who have been following the last few days, and are curious: I have safely arrived back to my domicile in Metro Atlanta. This was a needed break from what I guess is my (new/current) normal.

New first: I is day drunk at Magic Kingdom.

If you see this post, do it 🫡 Pronouns: he/him, they/them Height: 5’10” - 6’0” Shoe: 11 Zodiac: ♎️ Smoke: No Tattoos: A few Piercings: Ears Fav drink: Pepsi, sweet iced tea w/lemon, cocktails w/rum

So…the new singlet has—indeed—arrived. It has not yet been pulled on for wear… This is a new design offering via suplay.com that plays nicely to my scifi/TRON side.

Today I needed to make an appearance at the Atlanta airport. “Why?”. you may ask. Well…this goblin (@kevidently.bsky.social) was coming in for a spot of tiki before he migrated to Athens for the annual Drive By Truckers fest: HeAthens.

Merry Superb Owl Sunday for those who observe the occasion…

Over in the zuckerverse I was reminded that 12yrs ago @kevidently.bsky.social was fit to burst with excitement about something he was planning to surprise me with back then and did his damnedest to not spoil it by blurting it out early.

Did I just order a new singlet online in a momentary pique of retail therapy? Maaaaaaybeee #chubbybearinspandex

*grumble grumble* Feeling a might peeky. Checked 90mins ago and noted my thermometer showing signs of a low-grade fever. Runny nostril as well. Will be doing a swab to see if it’s the vid-plague or not. 🤨 I am not pleased. Also, I know I have not shared any deets about my trip. It’s coming…

For those playing along at home, I have arrived safely at my apartment. Now…disgorging the contents from the rental SUV that are fairly well tetris’d/jenga’d in it…

Brief check-in while I’m down in Bradenton. At this very moment, I am about to have a solo breakfast (brunch?) in a Perkins I have not been in since I hung out with the theater kids from my college days (88 or 89–whichever year I was an extra in Scapino).

Wolf moon rises...

Happy New Year from all of us on the Batuu Pride staff! 🌈✨ May the year ahead be filled with joy, laughter, belonging, and love. Bright suns, safe travels wherever your journey takes you, and may the Force be with you—always.

Happy New Year, from Haus JoeZer, to you all.

…and, another holiday segment from the archives, captured from Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights. Merry Winter Holidays, whichever you may observe.

From the Haus of JoeZer, to all of you…

Insomnia made an appearance in my bed last night. Got about 3-4 hours of spotty rest as my brain just would not go quiet… M’thinks tonight shall be a “gummie” night…

Went searching/pricing hotels in/near my hometown for my upcoming visit in 2.5 weeks. Electing to forego the honor/torture route for now & have booked a room at the Golden Host in Sarasota. Side benefit of choosing them: the Bahi Hut tiki bar is onsite. If I imbibe, I can stumble to my room.

Going to be looking at booking a hotel for my trip back home in a couple of weeks. I may be torturing myself a bit with where to reserve a room… …do I carry through booking a room at the hotel my family stayed at when we first moved there in 1974, or some other place…? Me, and my brain, folks.

My father’s obituary is now posted… www.brownandsonsfuneral.com/obituaries/F...

A brief note to let everyone know I’m…here. Thank you for your concern, condolences; and to those who have reached out via text & DMs so far.

Received news a short bit ago. My father passed away yesterday morning. He was at home under hospice care and my step-mother was with him in his last moments. No viewings are planned aside from a graveside ceremony of his cremains in Sarasota under military honors set for January 8th, 2026.

Merry Hatching Day to this bearded beast, @ctfreakshow.bsky.social I wish I could be there to beer & booze you in person, sirrah!

Now to see how grumpy my iPhone13 gets as it just updated to iOS26… This “liquid glass” effect will take me a moment or three to get accustomed to.

Question for the gamers/gaymers: As one who has mainly played “cozy” or “puzzle” games since getting a Switch back in 2020, how “button mashy” are games like TRON: Catalyst, or Hogwarts Legacy (found a copy 2nd hand)?

Got me some Panda Express to satisfy a need for honey walnut shrimp. For the message from my fortune cookie, all I have to say is that I agree & it’s been too long…

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts 🎵🎵🎵 ° Depeche Mode ° Moody Blues ° They Might Be Giants ° NIN ° Dead Can Dance * Extras for added “flavor”: Disturbed, Delerium, Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage concert tour.

I was hoping to sleep in a teeny bit today. I really was. However…my upstairs neighbor had other plans and elected to yell loud enough, and for long enough, where it prevented that from happening. Going to mollify my mood with a McD’s sausage mcgriddle (w/cheese), hash brown, and just vibe…

Disconnecting from “the world” for 24hrs or so…give or take. Making use of a friend’s offer to spend some time at her family’s cabin up near Helen. As soon as I claimed a comfy recliner, I had become be-catted by one of the trio of cabin felines. Everyone, say hello to Mr. Daisy…

I underwent a shearing today and I must announce it unto the internet…

Wish I could make it this year. Been too long since I was last “on planet”…and have yet to partake in Life Day… *visions of Space Mom singing*

Here comes Star Wars & Disney Store online tempting me into adopting a lothcat… www.starwars.com/news/disney-...

Klingons as therapists: “Today is a good day to cry”

JoeZarian Date: 2’25/1026— So…this weekend was the 40th reunion for my high school graduating class. I’ve not attended since the 10 year event. Granted, I do live about an 8-ish hour drive (each way) from my hometown. However, if I *wanted* to, I could make it work. Therein lies the rub… 1/10

Well…this was a pleasant surprise that was a longtime in coming. In my prior tenure with my employer in their tech support dept I would randomly speak with a peer in a sister site who was an Aussie. Now that I am in a different dept, that has not occurred; much to my aural sadness… 1/2

And this is why I HATE that my employer has moved/hosted a good portion of their stuff on a cloud service: major AWS outage has literally hobbled operations for us today. 🤬

If you’re seeing this, drop an old photo you still love. A photo of @kevidently.bsky.social & me taken by a WDW Photopass CM in the Magic Kingdom the night before I took him to Pandora: the World of Avatar in AK for the 1st and seeing his brain melt on Flight of Passage… (Feb 2018)

I enjoy scraping the dust off of my geeky profile from time to time to post/share things, like this announcement by Hasbro regarding TRON merch (found via @laughingplace.com on Twi/X while they’re on the ground at NYCC this weekend).
