A conversation today:

My mother: I should buy myself a lottery ticket.
Me: Feeling lucky today?
My mother: No.

This was a rough year, I think few would argue or deny that.

But we have the potential to do better next year. It won't be easy, but sometimes making it through the day is a win, and that's what will count in the end.

Wish you all the best. Happy New Year everyone.

My soundtrack collection this year. I stepped outside my comfort zone this year and added many albums I couldn't have predicted having in the past.

Many thanks to the folks at La-La Land Records, Intrada and other labels I ordered from over the year. Looking for seeing what you put out next year.

Merry Christmas, to all who celebrate.

To those who don't, I hope you're having a good day.

And to those who aren't, I wish you all the best. 🎄⛄❄️🎅🎁

It feels like Christmas snuck up on me this year. But I think of the positive, and that is on this day last year, I nearly lost my father. Today he's a live thanks to the efforts of his doctors, my mother and I, and his own determination. That, alone, makes this Christmas better than last year.

Dick Van Dyke has been a treasure of a human being for all the time he's graced us with. Congratulations on making it to 100, and I hope all the best for him in the years to come.

Happy birthday, sir.

Went to see Five Nights at Freddy's 2 tonight. Really enjoyed it, and I hope fans of the series will as well.

Not only did I enjoy the movie, but the overall experience was better. I got to see it with an audience, compared to being the only one in the theater last time. Overall better all around.

🎃 In 2016, I somehow forgot that I had ordered a copy of Varèse Sarabande's 40th Anniversary soundtrack for The Omen. I now have two copies of #JerryGoldsmith 's only Oscar-winning score. It's equal parts emotional and brutal. A perfect match to this legendary movie. #filmscore #halloween

I saw something that made my blood run cold as I drove home today.

A dark, robed shape gliding across the grass toward me.

Then I got closer, and I realized it was a dude in a hoodie carrying a garbage bag.

Went to a #Jaws50th screening last night. Was very fun and got to leave with some cool souvenirs.

Disappearing Guy.

When he walked into the bar, I remember thinking, "Wouldn't it be funny if he just randomly disappear- oh, he did."

As if we couldn't one-up this enough, we're now 20 minutes in to The 1% Club and left with just over 30 people left.

2/2

I won't deny that there aren't controversial aspects of his career.

But when I say I remember James Horner, his life and his legacy, this is how I choose to remember him at his best.
1/2 Horner's music hits in a way that is different, unique to other composers like John Williams.

At his best and most creative and proper circumstances, James Horner was able to connect with the emotion of a scene or character and articulate it in a very unique and sometimes very powerful way.

I had a dream I was on one of the vessels on Deadliest Catch. They just had me under the deck doing nothing, and I was afraid of getting in someone's way/screwing up, so I just stayed there.

The strangest part of this is I haven't watched a single episode of Deadliest Catch.

Just when I thought it couldn't get crazier, we've lost over 85% of the players before the halfway mark on tonight's episode of The 1% Club. 😵
My god, we've lost over half the players on The 1% Club and we're not even 20 minutes into the show. 😮‍

I want to give a shoutout to my coworker today, who I narrowly avoided knocking over while working, and who then fell over minutes later doing something unrelated.

The Five Nights at Freddy's 2 trailer has dropped, and suddenly December 5 just can't get here fast enough.

I have to admit, I didn't really enjoy the first new episode of Match Game last night. Everything from the selection of performers, the questions and the contestants' answers were all a bit weak.

However, I do like Martin Short and I hope episodes from now one are stronger & better.

A lot of respect for Jon Stewart & The Daily Show for calling out CBS & other organizations pre-emptively bowing to 🟠🤡 and dropping not one, not two, not three, but multiple uncensored F-bombs to prove his point.
