why did i look at the news

When you crank the handle on an emergency radio it should play "Pop Goes the Weasel".

I'm not going to Wang Chung just because everyone else is doing it. I'll decide for myself when the right time to Wang Chung is. Maybe it's tonight. Maybe it's some other time.

Sort of back on the internet. Depends on how long the generator holds out and we can continue to find fuel for it. It's not the hurricane that gets you. It's the aftermath.

Right in path of Beryl. No power. Maybe after wed. No cell, internet. If you need me.... Wait. Sorry.

If this moment and the accompanying fanfare doesn't turn you into a weepy baby go to the hospital immediately and check for signs of life.

"But his debate performance" is the new "But her emails."

I love Doctor Who I don't love a 13-year-old boy shooting bad guys with a machine gun built into his mobility aid.

If the ice cream man from I Saw the TV Glow isn't a direct reference/homage of Mr. Tastee from The Adventures of Pete and Pete I'll eat my hat. My buffalo plaid hat.

i need to play more video games

You might not be ready to hear this, but the best Otter Pop flavor is Alexander the Grape. Sooner or later you will have to accept it.

If for whatever reason in your life you find yourself wanting in good dad vibes, then for all of us who need it let me say: I'm proud of you. I believe in you. I love you as you are.

As a kid I aways eyed my neighbor suspiciously because he didn't get the TV guide. He used the weird program listings booklet that came with the Sunday paper.

When I was a kid in the 70s the theaters were full of antiheroes and moral ambiguity and it was a drag. Then Star Wars happened. I walked out of the theater feeling 10 feet tall and determined to Be a Force for Good. Then Star Wars wanted to grow up I guess? And be edgy? Feh.

My god what a soul-shattering song from Cyndi Lauper from her Blue Angel days (heard in the Let the Canary Sing documentary).

In the ER waiting room. The movie playing on screen is Weekend at Bernie's. Interesting choice for a hospital.

Star Wars like you've never seen before! We've never seen seedy cantinas and grimy junk shops? Over-serious sour-puss Jedi? Didn't we just have an Obi-wan show about Jedi haunted by failure and Padawans out for revenge?

I've taught a Comics & Sequential Arts Workshop at Winburn Middle School for the last three years. As the Workshop has grown, I can no longer fund all of this myself. I'm raising $4,000 to keep the class going & possibly expand it. Spread the word & thank you for the support! gofund.me/7b97845d

If I die with an unfinished novel in my word processor please don't let James Patterson finish it.

Oh wow BREAKFAST CLUB is a horrible movie--especially in the way Molly Ringwald's character is verbally abused and sexually harassed and in the end she rewards her abuser because she was a rich bitch who needed to be taken down a notch, apparently. Movie did not live up to my memory of it. Yikes.

It's because we all have day jobs, advances are pennies, publishers don't market, one underperforming book tanks your career, and we're expected to be well-tuned brand machines on social media websites designed to suck our souls dry.

Used an online virtual provider instead of urgent care today and it was a AWESOME. It cost two dollars less than my primary care visits, and was blazingly fast. Such a relief to take care of a minor medical issue almost instantly from home.
