Played horror trivia solo against a packed bar & came in second place. I am a fucking nerd.

Off work until Friday at 4pm & I am playing trivia 2 nights running & seeing a metal show, but also doing all the house & yard work & writing. That said, I get to make my own hours & listen to podcasts/records & drink and/or smoke weed while doing it all, soooooo ... overall, a win.

Did bong rips in the basement of a housing co-op last night, so I suppose I'm officially having a mid-life crisis.

It's weird being a writer who covers TikTok indie country folk, a progenitor of narcocorridos, and a book about pet cemeteries in the same week.

List of horror movies that made me who I am: - Zombie - A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master - Return of the Living Dead - Popcorn - Monster Squad - Trick R' Treat - Chopping Mall - Night of the Comet - Killer Klowns from Outer Space - Night of the Creeps - The Old Dark House

Man this week can go fuck itself.

Post-work beer & shot.

it occurs to me that the trajectory of the modern GOP is precisely the unmoderated forum trajectory. First you get the pedantic sea lions, then the trolls, all the women leave, then the people who are too fucked up to be trollable show up, and finally you're left with just nazis

It makes me sad that the timing hasn't lined up for RFK, Jr. jokes to thrive in their true natural habitat, "drive-by mentions in throwaway '30 Rock' jokes about Jenna Maroney's disastrous dating history."
