I write a lot about pop culture. Movies, television, and comics most often. Sometimes politics. I live-skeet SNL on Saturdays. Just a head’s up.
I used to write and draw the web comic Theater Hopper, if that means anything to you.

As a graphic designer, this makes me insane.
"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!"

In the last week, we've celebrated my two daughter's birthdays, Thanksgiving, and an early Christmas with my parents.
Now that it's over, the silence is deafening.

Bartending tonight. Closing early because of the snowstorm. But we’ve got live music, dude playing delta blues, and it’s cozy as fuck.

I'm bartending tonight, but a huge winter storm is rolling in this evening, so our taproom manager already said we might be closing early.
Yay?

Do YOU KNOW how much Final Fantasy X-2 was my shit???
Having seen this, I’ve got to say, the KPop Demon Hunter fans need to re-discover Final Fantasy X-2, where you play a girl band who changes fighting classes by changing dresses and has no less than two concerts on the way to saving the world from a giant weapon.
Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I think the worst thing about depression is when you feel it coming on, coiling around your brain, knowing it’s temporary, but being unable to defend yourself.
You allow it to visit, pass through, and you pick up where you left off.

I’m honestly starting to worry about Walton Goggins’ mental state.
Walton Goggins just delivered his best performance yet, as the Grinch in an unhinged Walmart ad for Black Friday.

I fucked up. I didn’t block off my Sunday and I’m bartending an abysmally slow shift.
Meanwhile, my wife and kids are at my parents’ house decorating a Christmas tree with them.
I fucked up bad. ☹️

If you could set aside 4 hours and 18 minutes today for my new video, that would be much appreciated.

I was just thinking about how I've been bartending part-time since March, got promoted to Supervisor in September, and if I should publish that to my LinkedIn with a bunch of buzzwords about my accomplishments.

I have an awkward amount of time today before I have to go bartend in a couple of hours.
The stuff I need to otherwise do would take more time than I currently have, and that's annoying.
