I miss outtakes. I feel like half of movies use to have them during the credits. No one would be made if you had outtakes AND an extra scene after 🙄.

Six or so later and the oaks I laid to rest are getting ready to feed a new garden. williamtorgerson.com/30-degree-sh...

This handsome bastard is eating up my tender green leaves… can't bare to evict her though…

"We truly live in a wonderful time filled with unquenchable desire. Throughout all history, perhaps all of time, there has never been a better time to want things." And I honestly believe that.

Is it just me that gets so exhausted they can't sleep?

One of these things is not like the others.

Wearing crocs has allowed me an experience I would otherwise never have had. The feeling of bouncing a flat on your toe. 8/10

Receiving a package is so much more powerful that it used to be. From junk mail to drunken purchases, we truly live in the best time of history. williamtorgerson.com/30-degree-sh...

Anyone else find emotions to be rather cumbersome buggers? Don't get me wrong, Happy is a good one to have around, but Angry and Hungry kinda suck.

Anyone else still cut all the rings in their plastic six pack because of all the turtle and diolphin PR when we were kids?

This movie used to be on Comedy Central so often that I've seen it many times, but only all the way through once. If you're a fan, you know it's been hard to find until the rerelease last year. Dogma is one of my favorite movies, so excited!

Apparently this is what an okra flower looks like… Cool.

What do y’all think the dog represents in The Odyssey? I can't stop thinking about it.

So proud of Eleonora on this fantastic debut novel, On Your Six! I laughed, I cried, I got jealous that you beat me to publishing. Still, I'm framing my copy. 4.5 on Goodreads and #130 in Amazon's military romance! www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

Y'all think Homer is getting a cut of this Odyssey movie?

A consequence of living in Southeast Texas is the number of business names including "SETX" which looks like someone misspelled sext.

Realized today that I have some odd preferences. wet hot > hot wet BUT dry hot < hot dry So... there's that.

The largest single lesson I wish I could give my younger self is how easy it is to make sauces at home. Honey mustard is particularly a recipe itself!

We assume the grand and mysterious structures of the ancient world to have been constructed for equally grand ambitions: religion, astronomy, legacy, the afterlife, what have you. But isn’t the truth obvious?

Anyone else forget they need a hero image until the morning your self-imposed substack due date arrives? lol. I think this worked out ok. One of these days it’ll just be me shrugging.

Here lies Pepino Squshto. We honor their passing with heart double birds shown to the squash vine borers who cut their life short. They will have vengeance in this life or the next.

When I started writing, I thought I was supposed to make everything surprising. Turns out that “confusing” and “surprising” are more close relatives than I realized.

Just learned about dvd regions. In other news I have invented the idea of travel DVDs.

After posting my audio play, I feel oddly exposed. It's strange, because my essays are literally about me and I record them as well, but this is somehow more intimate. Maybe it's just the amount of effor that went into it, I'm not sure. Could also just be something new. Something to meditate on.

The Crossroads is Open: Tip the Bartender | William T. Torgerson

“Sometimes magic is just spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect.” - Teller After working for a couple weeks on this audio production, I can confirm that it is a significantly more than reasonable amount of work. 🤣

It’s funny how complicated a simple project can become. I wanted a video behind my audio short story - a campfire. Go online and try to find a free-use 35 minute campfire video. Nothing. Oh well, I'm in the country with wood and space a-plenty. One wonders why it took three attempts...

ou ever feel like you’re close to enlightenment and then you wonder if it’s all those doritos you ate in highschool that are holding you back? … Yeah, me neither.

I love looking for sounds to match moments. There's a droid fight in the background of Tip the Bartender, and I spent over an hour searching for the perfect noise before I realized… there's a metal building next door. I'm basically collecting noises like a pokemon master… I need a pokeball mic.
