Alright, time for a proper pinned skeet for the new folks:
Hey-hey! I’m a Denver-based writer working on my first novel, music nerd (primarily metal & prog), amateur photographer, and I did stand-up for eleven years so expect an occasional joke now and again. Welcome and enjoy your stay.

Akron has developed a particular dance move called, quite simply, “The Akron.” It’s alarmingly sensual.
Current bit that I enjoy running into the ground: putting a fox Beanie Baby on the cat and referring to it as “Akron, your boyfriend.”
Current bit that I enjoy running into the ground: when the cat enters the room, saying “welcome back to the show” and when the cat leaves the room, saying “alright, thanks for coming on the show.”

Listen, I haven’t been toiling away at this novel for 5+ years for some soulless fuckhead in the newspaper to try to convince me that using AI is the key to finishing it. I don’t care if it takes me twenty years to finish this thing. Taking shortcuts is for losers.

My favorite Winter Olympics sport is curling because it combines the sheer adrenaline of shuffleboard with all the glory of being a high school janitor.
