Enjoying my usual Christmas Eve tradition, my favorite movie, Tokyo Godfathers. I've watched it every Christmas Eve since 2014 and I never get tired of it. Although, I'm watching the dub this year. I'm dyslexic and not really feeling up to struggling with subtitles. Fortunately, it's got a good dub

In the 16 years we've been doing ZTO, we've reviewed a lot of holiday-themed horror movies. And this is easily the best one so far. It's legitimately creepy, has some great gore, and one of the most perfectly executed twist endings that I've seen. And it's streaming for free, link in the show notes.
On the latest episode of Zombie Take-Out, we end 2025 with our best of the year lists and then review A Christmas Horror Story. A collection of 4, holiday-themed horror vignettes interconnected by William Shatner. Could a movie be more perfect to ZTO?

When the Cold is Closing In - Live from Home is now up on my YouTube channel. This is not only fitting for this time of year, but it also really speaks to my state of mind as of late.

RSD really is one of those things connected to ADHD that is really not well known and I highly recommend people connected to or have ADHD look into to it.
A little talked about symptom of ADHD is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).
This is an intense feeling that everyone hates you.
RSD comes in waves, and does not require events to trigger it. You can be walking along with friends having a great time and suddenly you feel an outsider.

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve written a poem, but I just dashed this off in about 15 minutes. Lately, I’ve been stressed because it’s been months since I’ve written a decent set of lyrics, despite constantly writing music. I guess my brain just wants to keep words and music separate for now

I was toying around with adding a flat 5 to a D major chord this morning and it turned into this nice, bouncy progression that I think I might end up turning into a new instrumental. Tritones don't always have to sound evil.

A fun riff that I came up with last night. I always love it when my blues rock guitar roots really show up in my ukulele playing.

I randomly decided to plug in a midi keyboard and bring up a soft synth at 11:30 at night and ended up with 2 new chord progressions and a new riff all demoed (on my uke) less than a half hour later ... And I barely know what to do with a keyboard. Sometimes a change of pace can be very inspiring.

This is so sad. When I was a teenager in the '80s, Drew Struzan's artwork was on just about every movie poster. He had an absolutely singular style and a great ability to convey the feeling of a film with just one image.
