Hi. I’m Alan. I’m bad at posting stuff. But I like to keep up with what others are up to. I do my best to be a decent person. I like Gundam, Dropout, D&D, and Captain Jean Picard. If you have a pet I want to be your friend.
The Holy Spirit uses guilt. It was super effective…
Sometimes imagery from early Pokémon flashes into your mind and you have to wonder "was that even real?"

Yes, it was. Jesus was canon in Kanto.

Maybe the most hurtful thing a person said to me was my ex saying how can I go on our honeymoon if I can’t walk. I have a leg injury that never fully healed & I’m often in some pain.
Anyways I’ve had extra pain this past week & that still pisses me off 😬

why are we all dunking on libertarians? I’m always down. I keep a bunch of these on my phone because I think they’re funny.

Played my match of MTG Commander yesterday against 3 players. And I actually won! All thanks to Tidus.

Read “Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees” for this month’s comic book club led by @dungeonjanitor.bsky.social who did an incredible job!
I enjoyed it a lot. Gotta love a serial killer bear right?

Recently got my new County agency assignments for my procurement job. Very glad it’s mostly all healthcare related (hospitals, public health, etc) and not law enforcement.
Being support for nurses and other healthcare workers to do their jobs makes me not hate going to work

First new movie of the year is “No Other Choice.” Haven’t heard anything about it, but it’s Park Chan-wook so I’m excited.

Without fail, I guess it’s fitting every ICE officer looks like a combination of Titans officers.

Like you can make an alignment chart and each hire would fall between a cross section with one of these guys.

Apparently the institutions are riddled with accused sex criminals.

Depression was hitting pretty hard today so I watched The Two Towers at the theater today. Figured the battle of Helm’s Deep would make me feel better. But it was Samwise that did it of course.

I often think of this line from Haruki Murakmi’s book award speech in 2009.

"Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg."

There’s no perfect “oppressed,” but the powerful are always a problem.

DHS made no effort to apologize, instead blaming the preschooler’s parents for refusing to open the door to ICE agents.
ICE Goon Defends Detaining Child Because They Gave Him Fast Food
The detainment of a Minnesota preschooler has sparked further outrage in a community already on edge.

I really want to make a D&D campaign where the party is all Magical Girls. The Walock’s patron is just the power of friendship.
I mean, the Circle of Stars Druid’s astral form is a Sailor Moon transformation!

I’m not big into my own birthday, but I was hoping to be able to go do something fun tomorrow. But I got sick instead. Doubt I’ll be up and about. Exhausted, cough, and I started getting pretty light headed. So that’s fun?

Picked up some #Lorwyn Magic cards today. Excited to see what I get (after D&D tonight). Obviously needed more Final Fantasy ones too.

Shortly after moving back to Ventura my mom’s husband died in his sleep (why we had to call 911 before). Together 18 years but only actually married for 3 months. It was…difficult. Thankfully we’ve all rallied together to support her, but watching my mom suffer hurts so bad.
Been trying to not…

First movie of the year. Seven Samurai playing Ojai. It’s been a while since I saw it. I think a good start!

I remember reading Paradise Lost years ago. Satan would speak of democracy & freedom to the other fallen. Even quoting Milton’s own letters. The notes at the bottom of the page remind the reader that anything he says will always be twisted by virtue of it coming from the devil. (1/2)

One cool thing for 2026, I might have found a D&D group! Likely won’t meet till next week, but a good start!
