The Horror Marathon continues! Cold Prey (2016) 5 young Norwegians head up to the mountains to snowboard. After one is injured, they decide to spend the night in an abandoned hotel.

Quiet day today.  As usual, we got up early and hit the Saturday morning farmer's market.  Akemi was on the lookout for her new favorite vegetable, lettage, a cross between lettuce and cabbage that makes for the most delicious cole slaw - but, sadly, they were out this week.  Instead, we picked up asparagus (crispy…

Working off a list of some 200 movies you helpfully recommended, I have commenced my Horror Marathon.  How long will I go and, more importantly, how many will I get through?  Who knows?! Evolution (2016) On a remote island, young boys are subjected to a series of strange medical treatments. One day, one of the…

For much of today, my twitter feed has exuded THIS energy - It started with an innocuous request for some off-the-radar horror movie recommendations - https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1541923492551135232 Which prompted an (I assumed) equally innocuous tweet - https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1542189262350667783 An hour later it was ON.  A lot of people did NOT appreciate this take, many of them inexplicably…

This morning... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1541791194493198336 This afternoon... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1541811361793155075 I feel like I've just gone three rounds with an opponent who has been relentlessly working my midsection.  Hopefully I'll have enough time to recover for tomorrow night's dinner with the guys.

Waiting on those deals to close. Yep. Any day now... Boy, "Ancient" laptop is right.  I think it came pre-loaded with Space Invaders. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1541256593483898880 This is where we planned to strand Atlantis in the unproduced Stargate: Extinction script... https://twitter.com/astrocatinfo/status/1540972390598967297 Pages from the script.

Over the past couple of years, my social media patience has waned - to the point that my block/mute list on twitter now roughly rivals the population of Djibouti.  Instead, I've shifted focus to far more interesting fare. Here are a few of my new favorite follows... @futurism https://twitter.com/futurism/status/1540772586455449601 @Cathrinmachin https://twitter.com/Cathrinmachin/status/1540490220994297856 @HubbleTelescope https://twitter.com/HubbleTelescope/status/1540318587826720768 @konstructivizm https://twitter.com/konstructivizm/status/1540782127557406721…

Today was Akemi's first class of the eight-session pottery course at Clay Arts Studio.  I, of course, showed my support - not by actually attending the class with her (Perish the thought!), but by accompanying her there and meeting up with her once she was done.  During the downtime in between, I roamed the neighborhood,…

You know what I hate?  "No, Joe,"you say, rolling your eyes.  "What else you got?"  Well, I'll tell ya - going to a restaurant only to find it closed, even though google AND the restaurant's home page AND its instagram page say it's open.  So, instead of Indian pancakes, we ended up going out for…

I am a creature of habit and there are certain things I do every day without fail.  Looking back over my routine, quite a few things I do every day... Feed Suji her breakfast (usually live-streamed) Check the new kpop releases so I can... Upload my first tweet of the day - featuring a kpop…
