Saw @themountaingoats.bsky.social on Wednesday at a venue close enough to my house that I walked to it and the superfan behind me sang along to almost every song. That's usually grounds for irrational hatred but his harmonies were tight as hell. Pretty good night.

Haven't seen any of the Avatar movies. They just look like over-long video-game cutscenes that I can't skip. (Also, "unobtanium" is the dumbest thing ever.)

I never got to meet Tom Spurgeon, but Comics Reporter was a daily stop for me for a long time. I did email him a few times and he was unfailingly thoughtful and friendly in his replies (and he always replied). It meant a lot to me, a relative nobody. Anyway, I miss his presence in the comics world.
Always remember.

Got not one, not two, but THREE vaccines today (covid, flu, pneumonia). I already took the adhesive bandages off so I guess this is just me showing off one of my tattoos. Anyway, glad to live somewhere that still believes in science.

Sometimes you get to an appointment early and you are across the street from the waterfall park. One of my favorite Seattle gems. Not bad.

James Gunn's habit of showcasing secondary/tertiary characters in his superhero movies is exhilirating for this old funnybook nerd.
