Man, so the blower motor in my wife's Jetta also stopped working recently. You'd figure not a big deal this time of year, but she'll need it for defrosting the cold that's on the way. Sheesh. I still wish she would have just gotten a damn Honda or something, those cars are easy to fix.

I feel bad though honestly for all the Albert's out there. The abbreviated "AL" sure looks a lot like the abbreviated "AI", and lots of Alberts, Albertas, Allens, and Alberto's are truly suffering. Hopefully once that bubble bursts (it will, and probs soon), they can live in peace again.

I randomly saw this in a box of junk my wife had in my old office a couple of days ago, so while the Gremlin naps today, daddy is having some avocado oatmeal face time, and then taking a nice long hot shower. 🤘🏼

I've got Ms Rachel playing in the living room, and my wife's Chromebook in the kitchen is still playing Pee-Wee's Playhouse on Tubi while I do dishes, and both shows started singing "Old MacDonald had a farm" at the same time, so I may have ripped the time and space continuum, sorry guys.

Someone I was following just casually dropped a "but I use AI a lot", and yeah, that's an insta-block. 🖕🏼

I miss when I could legit just buy a used car from someone I met up with in an A&W parking lot, for like $700, and then just drive that piece of junk happily for half a decade with no debt.

True story, and that Chevy Celebrity was cherry (the AC even worked).

Man, YouTube did Ms Rachel dirty right here, lol. 😂

A TV with Ms Rachel paused with her eyes and mouth partially open, with a message in the lower left corner reading "Video paused. Continue watching?"

I still remember visiting my dad as a kid and he had rented this. I've been wanting to revisit.

It's a chicken nuggets and fries in the air-fryer kind of afternoon TBH.

I bought the DVD awhile back, but I still need to get my hands on a copy of Out There Halloween Mega Tape, I can't wait to eventually see it.

WNUF has become a Halloween favorite and must-watch for me.

I know it's alphabetical and all, but a shame they stuck you next to Gibson

It's probably just a wild mix of b vitamins, crushed up Adderall, and meth TBH.

The Whitehouse was rampant with drug use during their last administration, so I would doubt that he's still getting his "Hitler cocktails"

Always a nice cold jolt, lol

My wife took a shower last night in the downstairs bathroom, so when I went to draw a bath just now for the Gremlin, my head and back got absolutely soaked because she left the tub on the shower setting, lol. 😆

I always found it interesting yet odd that of all of the amazing films De Niro has been in over the course of his illustrious career, this one (which he's not even the lead) was his highest grossing film ever (at least at that point, and it might still be).

‘Meet The Parents’ starring Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo, and Owen Wilson hit theaters this week in 2000. 🎭🐈👀 #OTD

I love Hodder as well, but for my money my favorite Jason's have always been either CJ Graham or Ted White.

Not much happening here today, but trying to enjoy it TBH. Tomorrow morning I have to take the wife's car back to my stepdad's to use his lift and change yet another "check engine" part, and then later we're going to dinner at her work friend's house. She's cool, but her husband is fucking crazy.

When people bring up any of the LOTR flicks, I always say Dead Alive/Braindead and The Frighteners are my true favorite PJ flicks

The wife had an extra shift today, so once again it's just the Gremlin and me today. About to make her some breakfast, and get this day started. ☕

I'm not complaining but good lord is it cold out this morning. Opened the back door to let the dogs out (while in my robe) and that chilly ass upper 30's air really socked it to me. 🥶
