Only I, major horror wimp, would end up going to a horror short festival to watch a piece I worked on. Here’s hoping the other shorts in the block don’t give me nightmares!

Thanks to the weird week I’m having, I can tell you that, in the race of what’s a bigger derailment of one’s day between finding a sick opossum under your car and whipping peanut butter all over your cluttered kitchen, the latter is a lot more laborious, but the former is a lot more time consuming.

If anyone is a big fan of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, or practical visual effects, a very talented friend is making a documentary about the legendary Doug Drexler.

They started raising funds today, and I know he’s grateful for anything you might be able to contribute.

Go behind-the-scenes with legendary Star Trek designer DOUG DREXLER in this new Documentary!

When I was younger, I loved music from my mom’s youth. Currently my child is singing “All Star” by Smashmouth. The realization dawned with abject horror.

To the point where he’s celebrating the “Marine Corps Birthday” over 3 weeks early just so he can blow up some missiles about it.

A woman was cheering us (protesting) from her car, so I yelled at the man driving to honk- he leaned down below the sun visor to wave and it was TJ Thyne of Bones fame! I am a nerd, and that did make my day.

Why is The Diplomat *so good*?!

We started season 3 tonight and if not for being a responsible adult, I would probably be tempted to binge the whole thing.

This movie was the first I ever saw in a theater- I was 6, and my mom covered my eyes when the ghost came on in the beginning- and it has been somewhere in my list of favorite movies for all of the 41 years since.

My 5th interval was hella fast: omg, you’re amazing!

I can do no wrong.

My self-love centered around running in my 40s kind of cracks me up.

Tuesday I was exhausted and didn’t run: good for you! I’m so proud you’re listening to your body!

This morning I ran slowly: hell yeah! Running slow sometimes is so important!

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I managed to dress in workout gear on top, but I’m still wearing pajama bottoms- which I think really accurately describes how I’m entering this week.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

I'll go first: Six page commercial lease.

I am very tired of this, but a quick review.

In America, it is legal for you to own your bullshit laser, no matter how it got into the county.

How you use your bullshit laser matters. Most jurisdictions escalate to felony for lighting up any law enforcement. Doing to them in the sky is ++Felony.

This is such an astoundingly bad idea that I kinda think it’s a false flag or an op of some sort

Merits aside, it is insanely easy to be caught if you do this and the punishment for doing this is much more severe than you’d guess.

No! I need to get on that, I was only vaguely aware.

We saw them open for Florence + the Machine a couple of years ago and they’ve been in the rotation since.
