Can’t do political posts here because of precarious state us foreign born folks find ourselves in Murica. It would be nice to have a private account setting. Is bluesky working on this or no? If no, I’ll continue to keep my posts pedestrian. But oh boy, I have opinions

Another book for my TBR pile. Im seeking safety in a literary cocoon, building walls out of novels. Hoping I can escape to a different world and stop doom scrolling.

Finished reading The Last Day of Howard Philips Lovecraft, enjoyed the art and story. I admit, story is secondary for me when it comes to comics. Cool art is all I need.

I’m always in an emotional brain fog when I visit my hometown.My folks took us to the Artist Union gallery and the attached pool/music bar.Dad used to party here as a young man, many liters of vodka have been ingested according to him. I took photos instead of asking questions I wanted to, as usual

At least I managed to pack this book in my carry on bag and so it didn’t get lost by the airline. Does it matter which airline? They all suck. Reading it in its original language will be a treat. Crossroads of Ravens comes out in the English language version at some point this year.

I swore that I wouldn’t buy any more comics. Showing friends the Vault of Midnight store in town was an opportunity to demonstrate restraint, oops.

Why is apple computing? I tried to hook up my old external hard drive to my new laptop tonight because I’m looking for some archived photos. Nope, can’t. Thankfully I kept my 2013 laptop and thankfully it still works.

We had to buy an HDMI cable in order to watch the Lost Boys in Santa Cruz ( Santa Clara) in our hotel but it was worth every penny.

Visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium for relaxation purposes. If I could, I would spend every weekend mesmerized by the sea life
