I'm a Pittsburgh marketing writer by day and a humorous sci-fi/fantasy author by night. So, like Batgirl but with less crime fighting and more carpal tunnel. Prepare for cosplay & props, art, nerdy dioramas, terrible puns, & fiction jennthorson.com

Trader Joe’s is really good, too, if you haven’t tried it yet.

It’s that time of year where I randomly bust into the Ghostbusters related rap from Bobby Brown’s “On Our Own,” because this is still in my head thirty years later.

So if you ever told me something and I forgot, know it’s nothing personal. It was simply memory runoff because of Ghostbusters 2.

Made an Emerald City wreath for my porch, as a start to my Wizard of Oz Halloween theme. It’s mostly made from recycling and things I had around the house- paper towel rolls and pingpong balls. #WizardOfOz #Wicked

He’s his own thing, man!

I totally get this. I’m sorry you’re dealing with it.

And I have a lot of buddies who love Nightmare so I see it a lot! :)

Cute nails! I knew right away it had Nightmare influence.

Tested out my modern Dorothy look for Halloween, complete with Kansas tshirt, Toto buttons and purse dog. Not to mention, the shoes! #wizardofpz #dorothy #halloween #costumes

I thought the same as you did!

Jenn Thorson @jennthorson.bsky.social · 11d

I ended up not sleeping soundly that night but otherwise had little effect.

Costco was great. I hope you have a good experience.

I wondered why I hadn’t heard much about him lately!

Jenn Thorson @jennthorson.bsky.social · 21d

This happens in my house, too.

There IS an inordinate amount of stick-based cuisine at those. Lol Glad you had fun!

Jenn Thorson @jennthorson.bsky.social · 22d

It’s hard to operate on such few hours. May tonight be better.

We’re really going to need a new season of Portlandia to cover current events, possibly styled as a Ken Burns documentary.

Thank you! He’s camped out in my garage now until Halloween.

Jenn Thorson @jennthorson.bsky.social · 25d

That sounds awful! May it be a fleeting, flukey thing.

I guess he’s done! Arms on! Epaulettes on! Not toppling over so far. Time will tell. But for the moment he’s together.

Say hello to the TinMan! #wizardofoz #wicked #tinman

Torso and head adhered to my TinMan! I love him!

Arms will be added once all that dries in a day or two.

@mrdestructicity.bsky.social Havd you seen The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff, a Mitchell and Webb Dickens spoof? It seems like it aligns well with your podcast.

Jenn Thorson @jennthorson.bsky.social · 28d

He looks surprised. :)
