Alaska Bard

Sometimes, I fucking HATE existence.

And then, today, I get a new song from Silversun Pickups.

And I LIKE that song....and for a while....life is decent for a bit.

In fact, y'all should check out EVERYTHING that @elittlechild.bsky.social does, cos she's fucking awesome.

YouTube video by TrekCulture 10 Times Captain Janeway Was Right And Everyone Else Was Wrong

So, @trekculture.bsky.social just dropped a Janeway video, and of course the AMAZING @elittlechild.bsky.social is here to sing her praises, and dish out the knowledge and lore!

As it should be. 🖖

Although, I must admit that I am....disappointed about the lack of one Natasha Yar.

Dammit, now I have to justify spending 400+ bucks on a Lego set!

On the other hand, it gives me NO BLOODY END of pleasure to know that the first Star Trek Lego set isn't just THE Enterprise....but MY Enterprise!

I'm 43 years old. The Enterprise I grew up with is the D. I FUCKING NEED THIS!

Happy to see common sense and equality prevail across our troubled nation. Keep showing up and voting - that's an order from the Admiral!

So, I turn 44 in a couple of weeks, and apparently my midlife crisis consists of going to bed at a responsible hour, waking up in the middle of the night to relieve myself, and waking up at a proper hour in the morning where I can make and eat breakfast, and perform tai chi to limber myself up.

FUCK the medical system in this country. 🤬

@scalzi.com

So, Rush is back....you gonna go see em?

I seem to recall that this was your favorite song by them....and it's a bloody GOOD one! 😁

As George Carlin said, "Conservatives only care about live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers."

YouTube video by RushVEVO Rush - Afterimage

I just hope they play this, and dedicate it to him: youtu.be/aalJT3GS_m8?...

So, Rush is coming back....and, goddammit, I am going to SEE THEM this time!

Seriously....I've had MULTIPLE chances to see them this past 20 years, and yet, something came around and I couldn't.

Then R40 came around....and then we lost Neil. 😢

I need to rewatch TAS. It's been too long.

I just hope they play Afterimage, and dedicate it to Neil.

Something ALWAYS came up, and I'd have to cancel, and I SWORE I'd see them next time.

And then, before I knew it, R40 happened....and then, we lost Neil. 😢

Now, I have another chance.

I have NO DOUBT that the band Ged and Lerxst are putting together will be AMAZING, and I want to be there for it!

I am going to make it my MISSION to see Rush in LA next June!

I had SO many opportunities to see Rush over the past 20 years....even living in Alaska, KNOWING that I'd have to save a shit ton of money to fly down to the closest place they were playing in the lower 48.

Wow. Never thought it'd happen.

❌ Wrong.

The correct answer was: "I don't pardon convicted sex traffickers."

Numerous folks asked me if I'd put my post about being with Rush at the Rock Hall Sunday night into my blog, to make it easier to share with folks who don't use Facebook or Reddit. Here you are: dlhalperblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-...

You're a good egg, Bob. 🖖

No incarnation of any political party at any time in any country on earth has ever spent so much time thinking about children’s genitals.

Danny should maybe take a look at the crime and drug rate in the state he claims to represent.

HBO was never up to the task.

Fortunately, Dave Attell and Anthony Bourdain were.

You'd be surprised how many "high society" fuckers I've seen get completely shithammered in dive bars.

Northern Exposure has about as much to do with Alaska as I do with brain surgery.

Which is to say, NOT A BLOODY GODDAMNED THING.

I live in Alaska. Salmon and melon are NOT uncommon in my neck of the woods.

YouTube video by Dream Theater - Topic Scene Nine: Finally Free

Trunks going Super Saiyan should have been cued to the "One Last Time" guitar reprise in "Finally Free."

This is the one: youtu.be/tdZKo7hPzmE?...

5:28 is the cue.

Also, I'm SO happy that this got you into Dream Theater. They're a WONDEFUL band. 🤘

@kaiserneko.bsky.social

So, I finally saw the version of "History of Trunks" that had the Dream Theater soundtrack....and, frankly....I would have made different choices with said soundtrack!
