A wrestler crouches on the top ring, preparing to leap on another lying in the ring.

Went to Deep South Wrestling today, and had a blast! The wrestlers were entertaining and incredibly talented, and the seats were up close and personal. Can’t beat it for a free show!

About to watch Deep South Wrestling live, and I’m super excited. Never been a big wrestling fan, but it’s fun live.

Cover of Ali and Nino

Finished Ali and Nino, which was very different from my usual fare. Takes place is Azerbaijan in the 1910s and provides a very intimate look at the clash of cultures there. Complicated characters that I’m still not sure how I feel about, but interesting.

Episode 176 - The Vagina Dialogues

This week, a knight rescues some maidens and gets very…unique powers. And yes, it’s exactly as weird and bawdy as you think. Then in Gods and Monsters, a maid will argue with her vagina and part ways.

Recently read Of Monsters and Mainframes for book club and loved it. It’s classic monsters in an intelligent space ship from the ship’s perspective. Light and one of the most fun books I’ve read in a while.

A white and brown dog in large sunglasses

Put the sunglasses on our foster dog, and suddenly she’s part of the Real Housedogs of Atlanta. Zenith is available for adoption at Lifeline.

Cover for This is How You Lose the Time War

Burned through This is How You Lose the Time War in a matter of days. It’s an easy but unique read. I absolutely fell in love with Red and Blue through their gorgeous letters and deadly combat through a wild dystopian multiverse. Highly recommended.
#booksky

I finished Someone You Can Build a Nest In, and I loved it even more than I expected. It’s a sapphic romance from the POV of The Thing with a neurodivergent vibe. I wasn’t expecting to identify with the monster that hard, but here we are. Not for the squeamish, but fantastic.

Went on an outing to an arcade with Big Brothers this weekend and it got me craving Guitar Hero. Had to bust out my old PS2 and crank up GH2. I’m definitely rusty, but it’s coming back to me.

Two armies of knights charge each other. A knight with a crown stands in the foreground, his horse rearing.

Episode 175 - The Once and Future King

We’re heading back to Britain for Arthur’s first foray into kingship. The barons…don’t take it well. Merlin makes his dramatic return. Then, in Gods and Monsters, Mr. Vinegar learns financial responsibility.

An origami onesie made from purple checkered paper

The same origami with a black pen beside it for scale.

My wife bought me an origami page a day calendar, and I’m enjoying it. Today’s baby onesie came out pretty well (pen for scale).

The cover to Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell

I just started reading Someone You Can Build a Nest In, and I’m already loving it. I did not expect to sympathize with the man-eating monster this hard, but here we are. Can’t put it down.

This doesn’t get nearly enough love. I really wish they’d do a sequel.

Cover art for Until Dawn game: an hourglass with a skull at the top and a snowy cabin with 8 human figures in the bottom.

I started playing Until Dawn today (late to the party, I know) and y’all, I am STRESSED! Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving it - the cast is stacked and the story is engrossing - but some of these choices are just cruel. I can’t wait to see where this game goes.
#gamesky

Finished Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and I loved it. It feels like a cross between Sands of Time and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which makes my old gamer heart happy. Some of the puzzles really test your platforming skill.

Cover of Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World by Mark Waddell

Finished Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World, which is every bit as wacky as the title implies. Predictable at times, but a fun ride all the same. A fun inversion on the usual trope.

My local queer bookstore hosts many. I’m in a horror one and a sci fi/fantasy one, and in really having to stop myself from joining the mystery one too. It’s been a great way to get back into reading.

Just finished Death’s Door, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. One of the best Metroidvania games I’ve played in a long time. Some very challenging bosses and some tricky puzzles mixed with a very unique story and style.
#gamesky

Finished Of Monsters and Mainframes, and I loved it. The book is weird and implausible in the best possible way. The author is clearly a giant horror nerd, and left all kinds of wonderful Easter eggs scattered throughout. The book is fun the entire offbeat time.

A white and light brown dog sitting politely. She’s wearing purple fairy wings and a pink lei with a yellow ‘adopt me’ harness.

Zenith, Fairy Princess has her first outing and her first pup cup today! She did wonderfully, greeting everyone she met with a polite tail wag and kisses. We’ll get her adopted yet!

I finished Wolf Hall and I’m still not entirely sure how I feel. The characters are engaging and the book is deeply researched, but the writing style is odd and needlessly confusing. I see why people like it, but not sure i want to read the rest of the trilogy.

A large white dog lies beside a small white dog on a gray blanket

Good news: our resident dog is getting more comfortable with the new foster dog.
Bad news: they both want to be in my lap so now I die here

Finally got around to watching The Substance. I totally get why it won an Oscar for makeup design. The whole thing feels like a fever dream that’s equal parts Beyond the Wall of Sleep and The Thing and just a little splatter comedy. Intense but worth it.

A white and light brown dog with its head on someone’s leg.

Everyone meet Zenith, our newest foster dog. She’s an absolute cuddle bug and, like her bandana says, sweet as honey.
#dogs #fosterdogs

Picking up a new foster dog today, a sweet older girl named Zenith. I can already tell that she’s a cuddle bug.

It turns out that laughter is not, in fact, the best medicine when it comes to a bruised rib. Ow.
