Home with a cold, so I watched Autumn Sonata by Bergman. Not an easy watch.

Shai Hulud at Underground Arts - Philly They were most excellent.

J. Robbins doing Burning Airlines last night. Even though he was adamant they were not Burning Airlines, it sure felt like seeing Burning Airlines.

Anyone with NJ history and a love for Pork Roll should read this. www.nj.com/news/2025/12...

I can confirm that Absolute Martian Manhunter is really unique and good. I read it on my tablet but there are reasons it's better in print. But I don't want to spoil it. #booksky

Watched The Substance. More Cronenberg than Cronenberg.

The faces my kids make when they're supposed to be eating dinner.

Looking at these deals, I'm wondering if it's a good time to upgrade my 2015 Kindle Paperwhite to the new one. It still charges on the old USB style. Also I tried a new one at Best Buy, and the speed difference is really noticeable.

Picked up Rowin at the Indie Games Night Market at Pax Unplugged. Got around to playing it last night with family, and it was a hit! It's kind of like chess mixed with tic-tac-toe. It gets pretty thinky toward the end! I wish there were some clarifications in the rule book, but we figured it out.

Still recovering a little bit from #paxunplugged yesterday.

I thought I was done with shows for the week, but my friend encouraged me to come out and see Bane and Hot Water Music.

Earth last night at Johnny Brenda's. Hearing HEX in full was a real treat. The trombone and Rhodes added a lot to the sound.

Friday night fun of discovering your CD player needs new belts. (I hope it's just that.)

This is the way the world ends, Not with a bang but a trap beat.

I decided to start watching Weapons.

It's me.

This surprise new Aesop Rock album is good. Liking the basslines a lot.

Watched Shivers last night. And Cronenberg is very Cronenberg right out the gate. Squirmy!

Having rewatched it with my kids this weekend, I think The Last Jedi is my favorite of sequel trilogy, and really my favorite outside the original trilogy.

Olipop Doctor Goodwin is traysh.

I just finished reading "In A Lonely Place" by Dorothy B. Hughes. Fantastic writing and creepy story. Better than the Chandler I've read even. A great segue into the October reading season. #booksky #noir @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social

I'm watching Vampire's Kiss for the first time, and what is with the accent? It's like Nicholas Cage is in a Californians sketch.

"My geode must be acknowledged." or "Nothing can possib-lie go wrong"

I get full Costanza when I'm on the quiet car.

It's weird when you have to travel for work only to find your blazers have shrunk in the years between.

Aw, genuinely happy for Cristin Milioti. #emmys2025

It was a bad week to check the ol' Facebook account.

Got around to watching Another Earth last night. I thought it was really well done. Very meditative. Makes me want to finish The OA.

Volkswagens are like Gremlins. They're fine as long as you don't get them wet. #VW #MK7

Got around to watching del Toro's Pinocchio. Incredible movie.

First time I've been to a Phillies game in years, and they win 19 to 4! Schwarber is a beast.

I know things are bad, but at least The NYT decided now was a good time to paywall the Mini.

Supreme Clientele 2 is a big disappointment to me. I had high hopes, but this feels like a cash grab. imo, it doesn't at all evoke what made SC unique. Beats are boring. Lyrics are not inventive. I'm glad for people enjoying it. But the original SC spawned a whole new approach to hip-hop.

"Maybe freedom begins with remorse."

I found a real Dan Flashes in Delaware.

I'm in a Crocs store. Send help.

My feeling on only driving VW Golfs since I was 20 something.

This gets at my unease towards the AI fanaticism I see all over LinkedIn and elsewhere. www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

Watching "Odd Man Out" based on David Cronenberg's recent recommendation.

Writing sternly-worded work emails music. The Crownhate Ruin - Until The Eagle Grins

Checking out the new Raekwon album. Not bad, but do we still need skits in 2025?

I've gotten past the pg. 300 mark in Infinite Jest. #infinitejest #booksky

Me almost 300 pages deep into reading Infinite Jest, but also wanting to read shorter, easier books that are coming out. #infinitejest

Tried Barbecubes with the family. It reminds me of Operation and Jenga, but better. Fun and quick and nail-bitey. #boardgames #barbecubes #boardgamesky

I love Talking Heads, but every time I hear the Tom Tom club I find it really, really irritating. Hot take?

Godspeed You! Black Emperor in Philadelphia. #gybe

Tomorrow night, for the first time, I will see Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I don't feel prepared.

"Sidewalks of New York" or "Moulin Rouge".

Still no power here in Bucks County for us.

I think a valid use of A.I. is to use it to remove audio of Diddy from all Notorious B.I.G. albums.
