Taxes: -$175 for preparer -$213 to Missouri +$298 from Kansas +$255 from federal +$160 to the good. I'll take it.

The illustrious podcast THE CARNAGE REPORT has reached 100 episodes and we cannot be prouder of them. Give this anniversary episode a listen and let @nuthousepunks.bsky.social and @darkhumorgirl.bsky.social know what a great job they are doing! cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

Yay. Tax time. Woo-hoo.

Seeing a drag queen perform "Dog Days Are Over" with dubbed-in kitten mews is not something I knew I needed, but here we are.

One of my lovely wonderful kitten babies chewed through my long headphone cable as I was starting a movie. "Why did the audio drop?" I asked myself. Then, "Oh, NO." Lucky they're cute. This shit is expensive.

PANIC FEST STARTS TOMORROW. Who's hyped & what are you all seeing? We have a lengthy list, but we're always willing to add to it.

BRILLIANTLY DETAILED NERD SHIT THREAD.

I wanna have this weekend off & the ability to teleport so I can do both Panic Fest & Overlook simultaneously. Honestly, though, I wanna be in New Orleans.

Taxes getting done tomorrow & of course, I won't have the money to pay for them until late afternoon. This is going to be embarrassing.

This week has seen me doing a lot of stuff on which I'd been procrastinating. Kinda proud I didn't just turn 3 days off work into glorious sloth & leisure. Although, there's definitely been plenty of that.

The kids know how to make a college drug caper movie.

"Replace the flapper on the toilet" now requires a trip to the hardware store to fix the actual culprit. Yay.

Evidently, I don't work today? Weird.

I will be spending tomorrow before work getting all of the writing done so I might spent all day Wednesday watching screeners while high as tree tops. Thursday is SO MANY INTERVIEWS.

Watching the third film in a trilogy I barely remember is kinda fun.

JOHN BROWN: if I burn in righteous hellfire so be it. But I believe it is my sacred duty to cleave you in two with this here blade. JOHN BROWN AVATAR GUYS: being impolite to the police is the main problem in the country

Realizing that, maybe, the movies I enjoy might not be my wife's cup of tea.

Screener list for Panic Fest just hit my inbox & I will be staying up far past my bedtime the rest of the week. If you want me to come out, please understand that will not be happening.

"Stay Beautiful" by the Manic Street Preachers. Heard it while driving home at a VERY early hour & popped into the 24-hour coffee shop to use their phone to call the college radio station & find out what it was. youtu.be/hM_oov3dU6A?...

I should be writing but it's a beautiful day.

What an absolutely weird night. The nurse whose night we turned around in 30 seconds with God's Property's "Stomp," though? Worth everything.

It's Easter Eve at the liquor store, so we are once again playing Christian punk & ska. This is a fun annual tradition.

trying to convince my therapist i don't need an in patient stay; could a depressed woman post like THIS?!!

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Seeing a horse in its 30s will always remind me of the Chris Fleming joke. "You ever know a horse and then find out he's 35? I love that. I'm like: 'Hell yeah, man! Remember the Fleet Foxes?'"

Watching ONLY FANGS & while it's not the joyride which was MURDERCISE, it's still bad fun.

Home, showered, pizza in the oven, trying to calm these kittens the fuck down. They do not care for storms.

One thing you don't see enough in movies is vampires who knit. That should be a thing. #FolkHorrorFriday

My hairstylist is an amazing person & I am so fortunate to know the people I do.

Got my car back. New front tires, new front brakes (pads AND rotors), oil change ... And we're getting a quote for new windows in a bit. Expensive week.

Happy new Poison Ruin day to all who celebrate. poisonruin.bandcamp.com/album/hymns-...

PBS Wisconsin's show, Main Streets with John McGivern.

OMFG @danagould.bsky.social is playing the Comedy Club of Lawrence. In December. Best birthday present I could ever hope for.

Many thanks to today's interviews for being both great chats & cool people.

Hey (Non-AI) using filmmakin folk. If you’ve been meaning to submit and send us your film, this is the FINAL MONTH to do so to be considered for inclusion in this year’s festival. Hit us up on FilmFreeway where oh hey they just gave us another one of these pretties. filmfreeway.com/ChattanoogaF...

Nuke everything from orbit, time to let the roaches try things for a while

I AM VERY EXCITED.

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

Short shift at the liquor store today, but I busted ass in the beer cave for a good part of it. Now is a short break before an interview, then hammering out some photo galleries/show reviews before ANOTHER interview & goddammit I am terrible at scheduling.

It’s our 100th episode! On this episode of the podcast, we take a look at our own gateway horror, talking about how Puppet Master from director David Schmoeller and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master from director Renny Harlin got us into horror.

do you ever think magicians have surgery complications because the surgeons keep pulling out handkerchiefs, rope, rabbits, streamers, cards, and linked rings?

all of space is a toilet if you have the courage to try

God, I love doing movie trivia. It's awesome to see friends & new people & hang out with @luckynun.bsky.social. Every first Wednesday at Lucia in downtown Lawrence. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to watch me giggle like I'm losing my mind while T does a full Flashdance routine on the patio.

Oh so now copyright matters.

Aw, fuck. Knew it was coming soon, so I wasn't exactly surprised by the news, but once again, a trip in for an oil change & brake work has resulted in a bigger bill than expected. This time, it's 2 new tires.

Here are some upcoming dates for screening for us at Terror Vision. Frogman Returns Panic Fest - Kansas City Friday April 10th 7:45pm Florida Film Festival - Orlando Saturday April 11th 11:59pm & Saturday April 18th 930pm Chattanooga Film Fest announced but no schedule yet. June 18-27

If you enjoyed @shudder.com's 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR, might I recommend my interview I did with @aprilwolfe.bsky.social about BLACK CHRISTMAS' first anniversary for @cinepunx.bsky.social? cinepunx.com/behind-the-s...

I have to take my car in for an oil change & brake work at 8am. Why do I do these things to myself?

Tomorrow at Lucia. 7pm | All ages | Free * Because of Wrestlemania 41, we'll tackle actors as wrestlers & vice versa. * Stoner movies. * Audio category of montage songs. * The best movies you'll never see, aka movies never finished/released * "But I really want to direct!" Actors turned directors.

Finally doing what I've wanted to do all day: get high, dig into the new @reviverarchival.bsky.social release, & hang out with the kittens.
