I joined an online group of horror fans. Not just movies but anything horror related. It’s been a lot of fun talking to them and getting ideas for new books and movies and whatnot.
The Super Bowl matchup has been set! It is…
I’m tellin’ y’all, I love the withdraw rack at our library.

The Unrivaled women’s basketball 3-on-3 league is here, folks! Games start tonight and continue throughout the weekend and I am stoked!

Rough day in entertainment today.
Do you remember Steve Guttenberg? Carey Mahoney from the Police Academy series of films. Three Men and a Baby/Little Lady. Short Circuit. Cocoon. Diner. From 1982 to 1990, you couldn’t escape the dude.

As the NFL post season comes to a close in the next few weeks, I’ve reviewed my attention span as it relates to football this past season. I don’t much like what I’m seeing.
The newest book, Wake Up and Open Your Eyes, from my current favorite author, Clay McLeod Chapman, arrived today. I’m excited to read it!
He’s talking to me! Coop’s talking to me!
I was watching Ridley Scott’s original Gladiator the other night and, when it wrapped, Paramount+ recommended a few other movies. Among them was one I’d never seen and never truly considered watching before, Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar.
The following were created by a coworker presumably using AI image generation in response to requests from coworkers in Slack on how best to deal with the holidays.

As a kid, I loved the original Superman and Superman II movies starring Christopher Reeve. He is and will always be Superman to me. I don’t care who else plays him, no one compares to Chris and nothing compares to those first two films.
For the last 20 days, I’ve been taking part in a book challenge on Bluesky. In it, you “Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.”
I discovered a prompt in Bluesky the other day that read, “What were the four albums that dropped when you were in high school that defined your music taste forever?”
I love getting those “a-ha” moments when it comes to entertainment meaning I realize that one person I see doing something is the same as another person I know from somewhere else.
Katie, Nate, and I celebrated my 50th birthday yesterday by doing something we never thought we would do to celebrate a birthday… we went to a concert.
This is what happens when you don’t pay extra for additional accounts in Spotify.
We’re a Libby household. That’s an app that is used by many libraries for sharing electronic materials like ebooks and audiobooks with patrons.
Why do I soooooo want to do this? Buy a replica Jonathon Moxon jersey from the movie Varsity Blues direct from “Mox” himself James Van Der Beek. And 100% of the proceeds go to helping those suffering from cancer to pay for their treatment, including James.
They always say to “never judge a book by its cover.” I say that’s crap! I always judge books by their cover. But this applies to literal books, not figurative ones.
Here’s something that hasn’t happened in several years. Not since before the pandemic, in fact. Katie, Nate, and I have seen three movies in four days!
Today marks the 33rd anniversary of the deaths of vocalist Freddie Mercury of Queen and drummer Eric Carr of KISS. It’s strange because while I mourned their deaths as I learned about them, my brain didn’t register until the last few years that they died on the exact same date.
Kick his smarmy ass, Iron Mike!
Dick’s Sporting Goods… you have raised the bar on holiday advertising. Bringing J.J. Watt and his family into the picture?
69 years ago tonight…
I suppose I never need to worry about picking which day I want to attend the Pitchfork Music Festival anymore.
To be filed under reasons why you can’t trust AI to do everything and you need to still use quality assurance or proofreaders…Mattel Toys announced a few months ago that they were going to use Generative AI to create packaging for their line of Barbie dolls for the holidays.
Are some of the characters in Peter Pan and Cruella related?
“Kevin, are you crazy?”
“No. Not this time.
Despite openly debating myself on my blog.”

The New York Yankees are aware that a World Series is being played right now, aren’t they? And that they are one of the two teams playing in it?
It’s really disappointing when one of your favorite bands decides to call it quits.
It’s a nice day for a bunch of Snippets. It’s a nice day to start again!!!

Earlier this month, I mentioned how I finally got around to watching Hackers after nearly 30 years of never having gotten around to it despite protestations about how great it was (it wasn’t).
There was a point in time when I collected Funko POP vinyl statues/figures. I didn’t have a ton but what I had, I displayed in my office at work back when I had to report to a physical workplace.
Have you ever had a movie that you always kinda wanted to see, that your friends said was great, but you just never got around to watching for whatever reason?
