Sometimes I wait in the stairs by the front entrance of the apartment when I go for my last smoke of the night.

Just to see what may happen.

And sometimes that wait tells me I should really go out back instead.

I love how Children of Bodom song titles are direct and attractive. Hate Crew Death Roll. Bodom Beach Terror. Punch Me I Bleed.

Zero room for poetry. Perfect. 😂🤣

We learn early that you need to have at least one to three parkour tricks under our belts for a secure social status. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Out of cream for my morning coffee. Really hate the idea of drinking a Tim’s. Not quite sure it’s even coffee anymore.

New Converge album day is here. The last two tracks are perfect and exactly what I wanted.

Still bewildered by folk who don’t read and address their email in a timely manner and flex like it’s a good thing.

I didn’t see a soft-rock era happening in my mid-forties but here we are.

A few more stories in the rearview.

Knocking didn’t do it for me. I enjoyed the setup but the resolution wasn’t satisfying. I also take issue with the term “bungalow” being used for a two story house, though I know there are few exceptions.

Jumping Sharks was cute. Relationship goals, imo.

Thinking I’ll have to start a pop-punk bangers playlist to learn on guitar so I have something to play around a campfire in my early sixties. Be the coolest grandpa ever.

Let’s pour one out for the simplicity of “As it will, time passed.” to begin a paragraph and move the story along to whenever the author wants.

Very satisfying.

Well that second story was downright creepy. I’ll have to have a sit down with it in depth tomorrow.

Makes one understand the dislike of children in some folk, that’s for sure.

Started this one today. I’ve never read Malfi’s short work. Only his novella and novel length stuff.

That first story though.
Whew.
Damn.

Kind hungry now.

I miss monster trucks.
I really wish someone would take me to monster trucks.

Doc says he’s impressed with the way my hand is healing. I’m impressed I haven’t given up and let this become a disability.

Cheers to hard work when everything feels impossible.

… sigh … guess I’ll start posting over here. That other platform is getting boring.

Just upgraded (by force) to a new iPhone. 17, specifically. I didn’t have much of a choice as it was this or pay $460 to buy my iPhone 14.

Hoping to make some short horror films to justify the upgrade.

In memory of Ariane Daniela Forster aka Ari Up, singer and founding member of the English punk band The Slits, born on this day in 1962, Munich, Germany.

Standing in Starbucks waiting on my daughter’s order. Can’t help people watching. I love the human experience.

One of my favourite buildings to haunt. Love this picture. Thank you for sharing.

Still mulling over Gone to See the River Man. I loved the first 3rd and then lost interest when the sibling abuse started.

I have a difficult time respecting work that uses sexual violence or incest as a plot device.

I’ll still grab the sequel to see how this Lovecraft-esque story resolves, tho.

Not mad about being in the car for a few hours when the young one is blasting Chappel Roan and some guy called Malcolm Todd - who she insists will be her husband, so I should get used to him now, apparently.

DC cancelling the Red Hood run because GFM spoke out negatively about the Kirk shooting is insane news.

Best news ever.

Losing @savagemouse.bsky.social is not something I expected this year. She was a lovely and wonderful woman. May she rest in peace.

It’s quite beautiful that Rue Morgue Magazine dedicated issue 225 to Adam Lopez and Nancy Kilpatrick.

A lovely gesture I’m sure means a lot to the northern horror community. They were both so nice to chat with.

A gynecologist who puts lip reader on his business cards.

It’s a beautiful and sunny election day. Remember to vote, but stay ungovernable.

It's election day for Canada, make an informed vote.🍁

This was recently quoted in the epigraph of Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book Careless People, an incredible read that will open your eyes to the inner workings of Facebook and Meta and how the affect global social issues. Well worth checking out.
