I'm late in posting this, but I've officially started my HALLOWEEN VIEWING 2025!

I started Sunday (I think), and my choice to kick things off this year: Season 1, Episode 1 of Netflix's WEDNESDAY!

So far, so good! Ortega is great in the role, and the setup for the series is intriguing.

Sometimes if the song is really good in the car, and I'm singing my heart out, I turn on the AC fan max so the wind blows thru my hair glamorously as i perform.

I tried replacing the lyrics to various songs with just the word "fuck" and I highly recommend Greensleeves.

One hot summer day Frog and Toad sat by a pond.

“I wish we had some sweet, cold ice cream,” said Frog.

“What a good idea,” said Toad.

It's official: everything fun is terrible for the planet.

(I'm not mocking the article or its message. It's just that it's so frustrating to know that EVERYTHING we enjoy has such a ghastly cost!)

I just watched the Star Trek: Starfleet Academy trailer on YouTube and good God, the comments are brutal!

Heaven forbid they try to attract a younger fan base to a sixty-year-old franchise!
