Claustrophobic, spooky and, at times…a bit goofy #horror #horrorsky

About to witness my husband, a full-fledged Jeep Guy ™️, react to the episode of Gilmore Girls where Lorelai needs an engine replacement so she buys…an identical Jeep to take the engine out of. Should be good stuff

I saw some mixed reviews of this movie, mostly saying it was pretty mid, but…we kind of loved Cobweb. Not 5 stars by any means, but still, loved in our household

Tonight’s pick

3 Auto-buy authors: Mariana Enriquez, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Isabel Cañas

Ok!

Tonight’s selection

"Tourism dollars are just so critical to the continued growth of both Downtown Springfield, the renaissance we're going through down here, as well as just broader small business development in Western Mass."

Driving the four lanes of 95 outside of Boston, currently without any lines painted, has unlocked something sinister in my brain

Oh I am very interested

I can’t say this was ever on our watchlist, but here we are, asking the question: what if Superman was a dick of a little kid?

If I send this to you it means I hope you get psychiatric help and also that you are in prison

A pair of common The Office fans settle in to watch The Paper

Does the world need Hot Ed Gein? (No)

Thunderbolts* without context or spoilers

Seconded!

Ready to get fucked up by @ericlarocca.bsky.social (again)

I would watch a Dexter spinoff about Leon Prater just to keep savoring Peter Dinklage in the role. Fuckin phenomenal and honestly so unnerving

Currently reading, about a hundred pages in, and when I say “in” I mean IN

This one started out intriguing, and took a turn I didn’t love about halfway through that just took me right out of it. There’s nothing to say about that turn that wouldn’t be a complete and utter spoiler. I will say, this would probably be a good read on a snowy day stuck inside. In a word: Meh.

Tonight’s movie. Side story: My husband and I saw The Last Key in an old, sort of run down theater in 2018. One of the Pitch Perfect movies was playing in the next theater. I thought the dull sounds of Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ was part of one of the scariest scenes in Insidious

“All cruelty springs from weakness.” ― Seneca

We’re finally watching Barbadian—from what I’ve read, it’s a good thing it’s still light out as we get it started

Great research and tons of old school investigative journalism work, but a bit too much of the author in the story, and a wicked abrupt ending. Still, a great follow-up to ‘Abandoned Prayers’. Somewhere in between ‘liked’ and ‘loved’ for me.

Yashica City 300 first impressions: the feel of a toy camera with the power of the real deal? Test shots so far are definitely above toy camera quality. It only just came today, but I’m looking forward to noodling around with it in the next few weeks and getting fully acquainted with it.

Substation saboteur

Dexter: New Blood didn’t really do it for me. But Resurrection is such a well-written delight. We’re eating it up as if we’re watching the first few original seasons. Just tremendous

one week until Alba Díaz is your problem www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/737414...

Dexter: Resurrection episode 6 reaction without spoilers: It’s the twist we all should have seen coming

As a cat owner, A Quiet Place: Day One is reading an awful lot like a comedy

16 days!! 🥳

I would wear anything Joseph makes on this season of Project Runway simply because he seems to sew a large pillow or comforter onto each garment. The true ‘nap dress’, go home Hill House

This view is my favorite part of my morning commute, and I’m going to eat it up until daylight savings hits and both commutes take place in total darkness

This was such an incredible, visceral story that I felt with my entire body. 10/10 top recommendation

there's a whole book just waiting to be written about the way movies about class and wealth changed over the past 40 years as wealth inequality grew

Hard yes!

If you love Land Before Time, Dora the Explorer and Stranger Things, then Jurassic World: Rebirth just might be the summer blockbuster for you

Jesus fucking christ. It feels like large scale prisoner leasing is just around the corner. Every development is somehow more insidious and unamerican than the last.

Ready to just savor the life out of this one from @chuckwendig.bsky.social

During errands yesterday, I heard something come off the underside of the Beetle and start dragging beneath me. Pulling over, I found that the back side of the catalytic converter had detached. Come to find out this connection is…in this state. Big fun on a hot day, but grateful it’s an easy fix

SO excited for this release

I guess I’m one of those assholes who posts ‘posed’ photos of their car now. Anyway, here’s my beetle at Beetle Road

Ok, ok! Fine! I’ll give a DIY car wrap a go and maybe avoid spending thousands of dollars!

Bummed I couldn’t go to Stokercon in person, but happy to have virtual access and spend a weekend of night shifts getting caught up with so many of my favorite writers and hearing what they’ve got to say on a whole spectrum of subjects. Favorite so far: Folklore in Fiction

Old vs. new coolant temp sensor. I’m not sure the first is actually a failed sensor, time will tell, but it was a possible cause of the overheating light coming on yesterday and an affordable maybefix. It takes a little bit for the Beetle to overheat, so I can still drive it to work, but…

Learning how to replace a regulator today ✨ soon I’ll be able to open and close the passenger window as I please. Ok rich!

Just ordered this fascinating digital sensor that purportedly fits in 99% of 35mm film cameras. Color me intrigued. I’m looking forward to playing around with it (and hope it’s worth the price tag), starting out in a Yashica Electro that I adore shooting with

The video of that Long Beach chopper grandpa in his SS shirt getting booted by punks from PRB is a little light in the darkness, ain't it?
