...the organist could learn a few more songs, though.

I watched that whole game. Incredible. The sustained grit and focus both teams had is mind-blowing.

The hardest part about writing emails to my kids teachers is knowing when to use my work email with the scary school administrator title attached to it.

Lol.

I've been on a 4AM wakeup for years now.

After some consideration, I've realized just how much I use my phone and am trying some new things to keep it from dominating my attention.

This morning I got up at 4 and am only touching it now, two hours after I've done some reading, ate breakfast, and did work on my current novel.

Feels good!

More about Fandom but mostly about the Dodgers — Sil Zero Media Most people I work with are Dodgers fans. Because, you know, of where I live. Unlike the online vitriol I spoke about in my last post, most of the Dodger fans in my life dedicate their time to tryin...

We did! My daughter got in the last run.

I have injured my ankle playing whiffleball.

Worth it though.

Fandom — Sil Zero Media I'm a Padres fan now. Baseball is awesome. At some point I'll write more at length about how at this late age I became a baseball fan out of nowhere, but this particular piece of writing is about fa...

I have decided to expand my thoughts on this: silzero.com/new-blog/2025/10/10/fandom

You should, it's a very important viewpoint that should be shared.

Ah, I see that sports fandom is sometimes exactly like nerd fandom.

Back, because I am spending too much time keeping thoughts in my head.

Serious question: is there a society of underground librarians I can join?

I'm too old to fight, so I've decided to go "keeper of forbidden knowledge" route.

NaNoWriMo is shutting down. Looks like that’s the end of the manuscript for NaNoWriMo. In an email, the nonprofit announced that they’re wrapping things up for good. NaNoWriMo—which stands, for the uninitiated, for Nati…

I'm not an expert in either person, but I keep thinking about Pratchett and how apoplectic he'd be.

Maybe turn them back on. I heard sometimes Twitter will zombie your account and then use it as an AI drone. Better to keep them on and not use.

I miss doing chit chat podcasts.

But I also don't want to meet new people.

Hm.

Oh no.

My mom sent me high quality Oolong tea and I think I have a problem now.

Doing this with crochet is serious dedication. I try to do something similar with highlighters and can't keep up.

At 41, my idea of recreational drug use is taking leftover Naproxen from when my wife bruised her rib.

I will totally follow. Once I remember my password.

This drone stuff is so fake.

If society completely collapsed and all I had left with me were my instruments, the only thing I would really know how to play are video game ditties, particularly the tunes from Legend of Zelda.

If those were the only things I played, would they eventually morph into folk tunes?

It looks like it is playing the kazoo.

Ashcan? I am unfamiliar with this term.

Legitimately going to call someone soon about getting a shakuhachi.

Oh hey I figured out my password.
