I never saw Patrick Stewart at a convention and didn't come with him into direct contact in any way when working on #StarTrekPicard but there's one Patrick Stewart/Jean-Luc Picard related achievement that only I have ever made - find proof that Patrick Stewart exists in the #StarTrek universe. 1/10
In 1992 my friends all got really into the Grateful Dead.
when I was 11 I was a hippie for Halloween and I now understand what that must have done to my parents psychologically

"Remember when you lived in the city? The hustle and bustle infiltrated every cell in your body. You even had a MetroCard. Then you moved here. You gave up. I will not reward that kind of mediocrity. You’re lucky I even stay open." buff.ly/8tQYIFy

If you show me any picture of a wizened little old bald guy in glasses and say it’s William S. Burroughs I will believe you.
I don’t really hear the word “clown” much in everyday conversation, but it comes up in early Velvet Underground songs a lot. Do you think they used it so much just to be mean to Nico since she couldn’t pronounce it?

Ranking all the Hellraiser movies as a Halloween treat(?). They have such sights to show me.

Thinking of balancing out the artistic value of finally seeing uncensored The Devils by watching all the Hellraiser sequels for the first time.
Guitar facts: Wahwah pedals are super fun to use but downright embarrassing to talk about. This also applies to whammy bars.
After the novel, that was pretty much what I thought would happen next.

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1985) rose from the grave and entered local Pittsburgh cinemas on 8/16/1985. Included are two reviews: One positive from Ed Blank of The Pittsburgh Press and one negative from Barry Paris of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. 🧟 🪦 📽️ 🗞️
That part of recovering from a minor back injury where the weird involuntary tweaking and favoring you’re doing as a result of your original injury starts to create new minor strains and cricks in other, previously uninjured parts of your back.
Professor Harold Hill awakens to find he’s a captive in a small Midwestern town. The tight-lipped, insular residents call it River City. Who are the prisoners? Who are the wardens? Patrick McGoohan is THE MUSIC MAN. With: Leo McKern as the Mayor and Buddy Hackett as Rover
In my opinion, the right way to write Lois Lane is just “Philip Marlowe’s boyfriend is Superman”.
Last year it was a torrential rainstorm, this year it’s new puppies, but fate continues to bar me from the Drive-In Super Monster-Rama. You must go in my stead. Tell them I’ll see them next year!
Counting the minutes until my son and I hit the road west for this wonderful extravaganza 🤩
Unironically the best thing ever to be made for television, possibly the best piece of dramatic art that isn’t weirdly canonized and thus unjudgeable like Shakespeare or Chekov. NGL I’m kinda mad it was ranked lower than Mad Men and Game of Thrones.
Who could forget HBO’s Chernobyl
Rocking back and forth while repeating “a new guitar will not fix me” as part of my seasonal affective disorder treatment regimen.
in my talk today, as an example of the strange things you can do in comics given their sequential but also spatial/simultaneous nature, I included this gonzo panel from 1950s Batman, which I just love in all its weirdness! Yes, I have more intentionally clever examples, but something about this...
Looking thru a pdf instruction manual for The Mangler on internet archive. “The most important rule is have fun, and don’t get Mangled!”
We got a puppy cam so we could see when the puppies wake up, but the side effect is that I now have a button I can press on my phone at work that is more or less guaranteed to show me live video of a sleeping puppy. Friends my will has never been so tested.
Day two of new puppies and I literally cannot imagine having a life that isn’t just a marathon of chaos and constraints ever again.
