Growing up, every Christmas my dad would play Dolly Parton carols. Every Halloween, from a too-young age, I would watch Tim Curry swagger about in Rocky Horror Picture Show. These two defined my holidays. And they always will. Rest in peace, you legends. #DollyParton #TimCurry

Maybe Vampires aren't repelled by faith. Maybe, as God's chosen inheritors of the Earth, humans can overcome the power of cursed beings with sheer, righteous arrogance. Divine Right of Kings. "Silence, Bottom!" energy. Makes more sense than "true faith," which, what even is that?

"The only thing stronger than hate is love." I appreciate the sentiment, but hate isn't strong. It's weak, cheap, bred from fear, anger, and ignorance. An easy choice for those who can't face reality. Lots of things are stronger than hate. And hateful people struggle hard to hide that fact.

Ah, that nerve wracking sensation of writing about other cultures, and knowing jack shit about them, outside of internet searches. You're going to screw up. But there's a difference between failing in a fun way, and failing in a way that breaks your novel.

Finished Terminator: Resistance last night. The whole game is a solid 8/10, a Fallout Lite but from a studio that loves the source material and isn't high on the smell of its own farts. That final mission, man. I haven't been this excited for a Terminator property since, how old am I... 1991?

Three days without coffee, instead drinking this chai tea my girlfriend likes, have reminded me that I just prefer to drink coffee. Not even in that annoying "I need it to function normally in this soul-crushing society" kind of way. Drink some water, you fucking whiners.

Happy Father's Day to my dad, who passed away June 19, 2024. I look at the last texts we sent and see his picture on my desk, and I miss my dad. That ugly ol' goober. That putz. Love you, Dad. I hope you heard my last words to you.
