Widowed and nonbinary. I talk a lot about Star Trek, Ohio, cats, dinosaurs, and whatever I’m watching. The Columbus Dispatch once called me a “local cartoonist and customer-service rep.” (They/Them)

Hi new followers, here’s what you’re in for:
Weird bits of late-20th century nonsense from Columbus, Ohio (a city that’s as much a sitcom town as Springfield or Pawnee).
A fair amount of Star Trek talk.
Rambling about what I’m reading/watching/playing.
I write and post a poem every day.
Cat photos.

sorry this was written by the ghost of
my 14yo self who was a Crichton superfan who bought the Lost World the second it came out and for the first time realized that maybe the author whose entire work I devoted over the previous five years is actually a fucking hack.

I'd be into that bc it would be hilariously bad & the recent films are only bad-bad. Michael Crichton wrote The Lost World as a really obvious sequel to the Jurassic Park movie and not the book where he killed ppl like Ian Malcolm & then did an embarrassing retcon to get more money for the sequel

“Which movie are you seeing.”
“Oh, the death one.”
Another on-brand interaction from me at the movie theater.
(It’s “Eternity,” a movie I expect to have strong Widow Thoughts about, one way or another)

Full-length TNG film based on that dream I had once, where (rather than being stabbed in the back during a bar fight) Captain Picard lost his original heart because of a Rollerblading accident
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

It would be my moral and patriotic duty to ensure that The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made! is produced while Dave Goelz is still available for the starring role.

Forgot to post a photo of my dinner earlier. I’m glad poutine has finally caught on down here, and that it’s such a versatile base for delicious monstrosities.

Our family tradition has always been homemade pizza on Christmas Eve. Then on Christmas night we’d go to my grandparents’ house, where they always had ham and a relish plate.
So now every year on Christmas Eve I make a pizza with ham, olives, and pickles.

it fascinates me how most everyone in the U.S. does turkey for Thanksgiving, but we are all over the map as to what we eat for Christmas (as is proper for a hugely diverse nation).
I come from a Christmas prime rib roast family, myself.

There probably won’t be another one, and the one that exists is perfect, but I’m watching Showing Up, and I bet Kelly Reichardt would make a wonderful American Splendor movie.

“I should these appointments for the week I have off.”
“I’ll be home, so this is the perfect week to have that package delivered.”
“The grocery stores will probably be more manageable on a weekday. I’ll go Monday.”
“Why is my week off so busy?!”

I’m watching the new @defunctland.bsky.social video, and there’s a segment about an animatronic E.T. that was programmed to say goodbye to guests with a database of 8000 possible first names. I have to know if “Talcott” made the cut.
