I have went back and played it multiple times. To this day it’s one of my favorite Elder Scrolls experiences.

He didn’t just make film, he made worlds.
Dream logic. Dread. Beauty. Humor that curdled into something darker.
He taught us that the familiar can be haunted, and that the truth doesn’t always arrive in a straight line.

Watching The Prestige and realizing it’s basically the Alfred Cinematic Universe: Caine is Alfred. Bale plays Alfred Borden, then becomes Batman. Serkis plays Tesla’s assistant… and then becomes another Alfred. Coincidence? Or cinematic sleight of hand?

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

There’s a quiet war against the things that make us human.
Empathy is dismissed.
Art is devalued.
Men are told to toughen up or shut up.

But I was made to feel.
That is my quiet rebellion.
In a world growing harder,
I still choose to feel.
This year, I’ll read more fiction.

This seems so intimidating.

Never did an intro post, so here goes.
I walk trails when I can, some in the woods, some in Skyrim.
I post music that sticks with me, lines from books I don’t want to forget, and thoughts I’m still figuring out.

Just making space for the things I care about.

There was something ancient about it.
Not in a mystical way, but real. Heavy with time.

It didn’t feel like I didn’t matter.
It just reminded me that we arent the center of everything.
And that was oddly comforting.

We were out on a hike, far enough that if you stopped walking and just listened, you could hear absolute quiet. A silence like I’d never heard before.
Then we came upon a herd of bison.
And in that moment, I felt it, this had been going on long before us, and it would go on long after we’re gone.

While reading tonight, I underlined a passage that reminded me of something I’ve felt more than once in my life.
I’ve felt it while standing at the edge of the ocean many times. And most recently, I felt it while visiting Yellowstone National Park.

A Christmas Carol (1999)

I watched two different versions of A Christmas Carol tonight, the 1999 adaptation and the one from 1984.
The 1999 version really stirred something in me. It felt like this one captured the spirit of inner change more deeply than the others.

How fitting would it be for these two to be air-lifted by actual aliens?

Making Holidays Happy Again.
Ho-Ho-Ho.

Probes and all

Ava Gardner chose this film for me. There was something in her face… a quiet sadness, a kind of otherworldly beauty that didn’t ask to be seen, it simply was. That expression, in that particular still, felt like a sigh pulled from time itself. And it drew me in completely.

Pandora And The Flying Dutchman
(1951)

“It’s not me as I am at all, it’s what I’d like to be.” Ava Gardner on seeing the touched up version of the painting on the Flying Dutchman.

That too

American Coke originally had cane sugar.

One of my favorites. Even as an adult, I can still see the magic in the ocean.

Beautiful

He’s thinking those deep thoughts

Cocoon, because it’s not available on streaming.

And still my favorite.

Mine was the first as well. However, I didn’t really finish one until IV on snes.

Not very long. A couple of months. I got it on sale for $50.

I have the gamesir8+ that I use with my iPad mini and Switch. Works great.

Great movie that’s basically a remake of Shane(1953)

I got an injury from wearing crocs. They messed up my walking form and one of my toes.

This was one of the first PS games I owned. At that time it came in one of the long boxes. I actually preferred those to the jewel cases.

This something I never knew we needed until now.
