I must return to the fake twitter to report that I am currently drinking the worst latte I've ever had. It was made by a team of baristas who were loudly singing a song from Hamilton, then switched to a country song. I believe I accidentally went to the starbucks in downtown Hell. That is all.
re: The Odyssey, I was really excited for the Hades sequence but feeling quite disappointed now that Nolan decided to cut Skelly. Although now I'm wondering if maybe John Leguizamo is Skelly and just hasn't died yet? Idk, it really took me out of it...

I am logging on for one second for posterity, to say that the sound electric vehicles make in the city has a hollow affect (yes affect) that makes me feel like my heart suddenly disappeared, and when this becomes an iconic horror movie sound in the future, I need to be credited with calling it.
Everything is Scary returns with a tribute to Damian Mc Carthy's Caveat and Oddity. He's my favourite filmmaker in the genre right now and I'm excited to see his immobile horror in Hokum this spring. www.everythingisscary.com/screen/still...
Stillness is the Move: The Immobile Horror of Damian Mc Carthy — Everything is Scary
Horror is all about broken expectations. A storyteller establishes a pattern that we can anticipate and when they introduce variation—like a brick wall when you expect a window or a corpse when you ex...

I decided I'm giving up on trying with this website, at least for a little while. It feels like it's enabling a lot of bad habits in people. I'm not deleting, just uninstalled it from my phone. You can find me on the other platform if you wish. Not the super evil one, just the normal evil one. Bye!!

Had to get a haircut in Kingston and it's maybe weirdly the saddest I've been so far realizing I no longer have OBB in my life. Or anything like it. Not to mention the angel Robyn. Wah. My hair looks good at least.
I enjoyed celebrity traitors as anyone would, but I think I still like regular UK traitors much more. There's something about the performance the celebrities were doing that just made it seem less intense and therefore less fun. And so many tasks seemed designed to feed their egos lol. Boring.
Been rewatching Golden Girls. Grew up with the dub, it's crazy how different the sub is.
I'm not American, but this is why I work for a university. I could be making 25% more minimum in the private sector. But I will get a full pension at 60 in my job, and given my family history, I could be retired for decades!!

First Wednesday back to work and we had an ice storm after a snowstorm everyone is MAAAADDDD
Living in Kingston now it's the coldest place I've ever lived but it also means it's like a winter wonderland, snow stays on the ground, it's beautiful. I would take a winter average of -15°C over grey slush and freezing rain any day.
Celebrity Traitors is really fun but honestly after watching UK Traitors S1 all I can think is how unserious the celebrities are. And also how rich they all are lol. I really miss the regular people who are shockingly good at the game.
Ontario people: now that I live here, I would love to host and moderate your cultural events, panels and interviews!
It's Toronto, so it probably sold out 12 hours before being announced!! But damn, that's a great group of writers.

I don't feel like doing a 2025 roundup because quite frankly my attention was shot all year from grief, to keep things cheery, but it's nice to see your book lists. Instead, I'll just share one book I read and loved last year. A beautiful book. @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social www.nyrb.com/products/lion
