Now playing: Killswitch Engage, “Holy Diver.” No, I’m not doing the music thing again today. Probably. Today’s going to be … pokey. As in, I’m going to poke you all with sticks. Some of you, anyway. Let’s talk Pride month. Distilled down to its most basic … It’s none of your business. If someone is…

It occurred to me this morning I did not listen to any music when writing yesterday’s odd, perhaps demoralizing List. Remedying that today. Hit play on my “Liked Songs” in Spotify. Just after clicking the shuffle button. Obviously. First up, Machine Head’s cover of Maiden’s “Hallowed Be Thy Name.” Fantastic cover. Metal that shit up.…

I have done gummies once. When Brad visited a year ago. Was fun, actually. Have not since. Do not want to do that with my kid in the house, for one. For another, I did not sleep worth a damn after. Prior to that, only alcohol. Never wanted to experiment with drugs. Just Say No…

At this moment, I’m sitting on the couch watching Raiders. Yes, again. Turned it on to give myself something to watch while I injected the antibiotics. My brain runs on Raiders quotes. They pop up all the time while navigating the day-to-day. I wish there were more good Indy movies. Two, maybe three. Though I…

You ever seen Tag? The one with Jeremy Renner and John Hamm where the group of friends has been playing the same game of tag since they were kids? It’s one of the Teenager’s favorite movies. We had to buy it on Prime Video and at some point, I’ll probably have to get the blu-ray.…

Over on the Discord, I go by Drost. Because that’s my gamertag. I’ve had it since 2004. All the guys in my video game clan call me that. I’ll answer to it as readily as my birth name. Yell it across a room, I’ll stop and turn my head. I’ve been thinking about new ones,…

“All I want to do is get high by the beach …” That Lana Del Rey song has lived rent-free in my head for weeks. It’s also all I want from life. Not the high part. Maybe six or so Mai Tais. The “by the beach” part. Yes. That. Lists have skirted this topic for…

Someone on the Discord server asked for fantasy book recs, so I dug through my Kindle and made a list of stuff I enjoyed. The Lies of Locke Lamora is my favorite fantasy novel of the last 20 years, probably. And yeah, I left off a bunch of the gimmies. No Martin, no Sanderson. Lynch…

The stereo in the Pilot is old. Because the Pilot is like a 2013 or 2012. I can never remember. What I’m saying is it does not do Bluetooth worth a damn, and plugging in my Android phone does nothing. Why the hell would car manufacturers limit connections to one kind of phone? There are…

Actually have a theme for today. Before we get to that, however … “Steph, I need some music on, but I don’t have my earbuds.” Her: “I guess you better get your earbuds then. … Alexa, play Taylor Swift.” Me: glares. Her: laughs. Alexa starts playing Taylor Swift. Me: “Alexa, fucking stop.” Her: more laughter.…
