Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen: The Smiths Radiohead (Whiskey a Go Go) Prince Elvis Costello (Viper Room) Beastie Boys (I've seen 150+ shows)

Today's the day, friends. The kiddo's soul will be crushed and I will ugly cry and possibly give myself a migraine. If that doesn't scream Thanksgiving, I don't know what does.

Woke up at 5am cos my body says it's Thursday and I should be going to work. Went back to sleep at 7am, woke back up at 10am. Do I go for yet another nap?

Benjamin J. Grimm wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving.

I wouldn't have seen 3/4 of the concerts I've seen had I not gone by myself. It was amazing seeing Radiohead, Ride, Oasis, Blur, The Smiths, Happy Mondays, White Stripes, Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, NIN, New Order, Primal Scream, Jesus and Mary Chain, and dozen of others by myself.

Did you know there's a giant sculpture over here at Berkman and Manor in ATX?

Supervisor told us to go ahead and leave, she would stay until 5. Don't have to tell me twice. At the bus stop already. Don't have to be back until Tuesday.

A COLT IS MY PASSPORT is a perfect™ movie and is the 1st thing everyone should watch w/ their trial subscription to the Criterion Channel.

If you're looking for another Noir to close out the month, may I suggest A COLT IS MY PASSPORT (1967). Can't beat a Joe Shishido film. Just saw BRANDED TO KILL on the big screen last night. Hell, watch that this weekend, too. Do a Shishido Double. Treat yourself!

OG Star Wars Battlefront Rockband w/ all new updated instruments

I definitely want to see because I love Wagner Moura.

look I'm extremely not feeling promote-y or salesman-y this season but i just made the grave mistake of looking at my bank account so i should probably lyk there's a sale on in my etsy store this week: www.etsy.com/shop/panands...

At my day job today. Only 6 people here, normally 32, give or take. I am ready to go home. Once I'm out of here, I'll be off until Tuesday. Office is closed Thurs and Fri (Paid both days) and Mon is that free 8 hrs paid off for working Veterans Day. I do have to work 6 hours at HEB on Sun, though.

Kiddo's review: Lol boxd.it/bQleQj

Now seated for BRANDED TO KILL, with the kiddo. His first time watch.

May Co. Robinsons Prints Plus Home Depot (First job was a movie theatre but I did ROP at May Co when I was a Jr in high school for Display Merchandising)

Share a reliable character actor Richard Jenkins is always terrific. If I see his name in the credits, I know I'll at least have him to look forward to watching. Also, he should've won an Oscar for BONE TOMAHAWK.

I was buying some groceries for delivery and Sriracha is only $1.00 a bottle! It's usually $3.79. Eric goes through that stuff like crazy so I bought the maximum I could, which was 3. Eric's going to get the order today and think I've gone insane buying so many.

Putting out this plea again... if anyone has a code to CG they are willing to part with, I would super appreciate it. Pretty please with sugar on top?

I had to tell someone their retirement date and when I said, 2056, I also said, Wow, I might not even be alive by then. Friends, it was a sobering moment. I had to go outside for a moment and watch the squirrels play.

Messiah of Evil

"Two" "Five Characters in Sesrch of an Exit" "Come Wander with Me"

At HEB for a 6(!?) hour shift. It says "training", not sure what kind. Maybe cashier but I went to that cashier college 6 hour training over a year ago. They can't expect me to remember that shit a year later after having never used the knowledge.

Kiddo's History teacher just send an email to parents letting us know she's going to be teaching the kids about Austin's redlining past. She says parents can opt out of their kid learning about it. WTF. Fucking Texas, man. Pretty soon they're going to just erase teaching about slavery.

That extra half star for MARTY SUPREME is for the wonderful Tyler the Creator. He was great. When I tell you the kiddo gave me the most withering look for not know that it *was* Tyler the Creator.

Lotta predator action. And then ping pong.

Someone here in the office just admitted she loves SHREK so I had to show her one of my favorite sketches. Became a Sterling K Brown fan based on this. youtu.be/f4Q7F-XKA0o?...

Kiddo wanted to watch FIREFLY for the first time so we've been watching an episode a night. We just finished the last episode on Wednesday. He wants to wait to watch SERENITY until Thanksgiving, and friends, I'm not sure if I'm ready emotionally to go through it again even after all these years.

Really dug this.

Now seated, with the kiddo, for MARTY SUPREME. Thank you, @letterboxd.socia!💕l

Traffic is ATX is so bad right now. Don't go out unless you must.

This week, filmmaker John Moore unearths a ton of gems from Austin public access TV, including an alien invasion movie, a call-in joke hotline, and a Carmen Miranda drag show. Joe & Nick trot out some deep cuts from the world of cable access, a video store screener for Road House, and news bloopers!

🎁Well, it's birthday week! My goal for birthday week? Sell one print for every year I've trodden this earth, plus one for the year to come. 43 in all. Can I do it? Let's see! (Now is also the time to place holiday orders so they actually arrive for the holidays!) www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products

It's never too late (until the sale is over) to pick up a copy of my book 80s ACTION MOVIES ON THE CHEAP on sale. Do it today. mcfarlandbooks.com/product/80s-...

On the bus to my 4 hour shift at HEB today. I did not want to get up, I'll tell you what.

Almost missed posting about one of favs on his birthday... Yaphet Kotto!

He’s all finished and listed for sale. Prismacolor Verithin pencil and charcoal over watercolor wash on Canson paper. 11”x17”. DM for purchase inquiries. @realgdt.bsky.social Thank you again for giving us all something so beautiful right when we needed it. #Frankenstein #Illustration #Traditionalart

Got an email that there's a confirmed case of Whooping Cough at the kiddo's high school. This after several confirmed cases at the nearby middle school. What the fuck, America? I mean, seriously.

Desperately need that Columbo

While I am, of course, accepting lavish gifts for my impending birthday, what I would really love are print sales! because nothing says, “here’s to another turn around the sun!” like paying the rent. www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products

Ok I just have ONE MORE illustration to do for the Lynch calendar then I’ll be placing an order after formatting the files. Please pre-order now if you’d def like one so I can figure out how many to get printed, thank you! www.etsy.com/listing/4366...

It's a holiday here for the City but I'm in office today. Catching up on a few tasks while it's super quiet. Have had a couple of calls and emails. Just happy to be getting holiday pay AND 8 hours OT.

They're back. www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products...

I'm about to settle in for 6 hours of COLUMBO on COZI TV. They show it on Saturdays and Sundays both for several hours in morning/afternoon and then again for several hours in the evening. Saturdays morning/afternoon is generally 70s. Evenings can be a anything from the series.

I know I'm not the only who can, to this day, recite every single word of this advert. youtu.be/qxyhlrbjc-Q?...

Working a 4 hour shift at HEB today. I'm already tired and I only just got on my 2nd bus to get there.
