I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

Nice try on Schwarber, Buccos. 5 years for a pure DH was a tough commit. Sounds like they made the Phillies up their offer, though. And that’s probably a franchise first.

Sadly, Jim Varney’s no longer with us to save Christmas.

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.
