Ok, #metalsky, I'm tired of f'n around with this list. I did a final re-order on Friday and I did one today and compared them and they were close. There were so many deserving albums not on list. Every time I listened to them I re-adjusted. Already re-thinking. But top is pretty set. #metalsky2024

OMG, that injury was horrific. Teammate goes to help Giant player up, and I was like, wait, is his foot pointing sideways? It sure was.

Eagles are starting to look good again after a blip. United looking good-ish, which for them is really good. 76er's are good so far. Penn State sucks. So, I guess 3 out of 4 is ok. Still plenty of opportunity for it to all go bad though. Never a full optimist.

Crazy you posted this, because i opened my Lykotonon ep cd yesterday and it had my Fornicus cd in it and I thought, man I should listen to that again.

I don't know who in the band is a member of Panopticon or Horrendous like it says, but either way, it's really good. I can sort of hear Horrendous and definitely a little Obsequiae, although I think he's the drummer. #metalsky

Shit, I never really thought about it before, but watching him play it, that is really tough.

Shit, I wasn't aware of Auriferous Flame coming out either. I guess use that to tide me over as I wait for @infinitedreamscape.bsky.social to finish Spectral Lore IV. 😀

Water line break took out neighborhood. Won't have water for another 6 hours. Funny I found out by my dishwasher texting me.

Donovan @donomite.bsky.social · 2d

My dishwasher uses wifi to alert me to problems, which I always thought was a waste of time, but it just alerted me that I should check it and I realized our water is shut off. I guess it's the whole neighborhood. I guess the wifi dishwasher is nicer than I thought.

This is why I would absolutely try it. It would kill me not knowing, when the chance was right there.

Trump just never heard of the Streisand Effect. More people will hear Reagan absolutely rail on tariffs than if he had kept his mouth shut. It makes me wonder if the Reagan Foundation said that to set him up, because he absolutely hated tariffs and it's very clear.

When Trump hears what Ronald Reagan said about immigrants he’s going to have DOJ arrest him for mortgage fraud.

Oh shit! I wasn't aware of this one coming out.

Trump is the most expensive whore in the history of the world.

Donovan @donomite.bsky.social · 2d

I think I just have to be in the right mood. But it sort of reminded me of Tomarum, because I loved their last one too, but the new one just seemed too prog.

6 years ago, I took one of the the best photos I will probably ever take. #metalsky

I love mine. And yes, although I am not sure what I paid, but it was worth it.

Donovan @donomite.bsky.social · 2d

I got it on my way out the door going to trivia night! I work from home tomorrow, so i will play it then!

Donovan @donomite.bsky.social · 2d

Yeeeessss. Starer came! #metalsky

I go to see Spectral Wound any time I have opportunity. They've put on some of the best shows I have ever seen.

Yeah, it's not good. I was very bummed when I heard it.

Donovan @donomite.bsky.social · 3d

James Comer must be frothing at the mouth at all this juicy corruption, right? What? They are looking at...."From Protection to Persecution: EPA Enforcement Gone Rogue Under the Biden Administration"? "Oversight of the District of Columbia" isn't about the destruction of the White House either.

Another corrupt Trump ally gets a pardon for enriching the Trump family.

New song released by my friends in Veilburner. I remember the first time I met Chris and he said I should check out his band and gave me a Veilburner cd. I would have never guessed I would end up being friends with them. #metalsky

Nice to hear Sacred Son (I assume it's him) doing the harsh vocals again for Dawnwalker. I'm not sure they'll ever put out anything I like as much as Ages, as they've gone a lot proggier, but this album has more Ages types of moments, that I love, than the past couple of albums. Very good. #metalsky
