I’d spend way more time worrying about if I actually wanted to be married to a dude named Addison.

I quit smoking pot and no longer enjoy the Spin Doctors. Well, that’s half true. I heard them straight one day and decided if that’s the kind of thing I like when I’m high, I should quit.

I was being silly.

It leans a little more toward academic than some of the others here, and spans a broader time span, but History of The World p1 is pretty good.

You bastige. You fargin sneaky bastage. Why you miserable cork-soaker!

After the intervention, Jesus knew he had to give up wine but he had a solution.

It’s been more books recently.

We just did Snowcrash, which has parts that aged poorly, but over all was a fun read. That leads to the old movie Pontypool (Snowcrash is in a shot in that that’s an obvious plant- both had similar themes). That lead to Pontypool Changes Everything a book that, try as I did, I could not get through. But the movie and BBC radio drama are both great.

We’re doing Ubik by Philip K Dick right now, and I’m enjoying that a lot. I’ve read a fair bit of his stuff but missed this one. I tend to binge authors so I imagine I’ll do a few more from him.

Late last year I did about everything from Scott Meyers. The Magic 2.0 books are deff for a younger audience but were fun in their own way.

I tried to do the Murderbot series recently, but it missed it’s mark with me. I didn’t not like them and I can see goung back to give them a second try maybe in the fall.

The Duck and Cover series was heavily thrown at me through ads so I gave that a go. It deff has its moments but I think there’s underlying difference of opinion between me and the author. I have no proof of this, it’s just kind of a feeling. Not bad books, funny and clever in spots.

John Scalzi and Dennis E. Taylor are two guys I get everything from as soon as something new drops.

And recently a buddy got me to watch Ravenous. An old cannibalistic, period piece in the Spanish American War era with a good dose of homoeroticisim thrown in. Deff highly recommend watching that.

I find they’re neither.

I grew up watching cartoons, and still do. I’m an avid scifi, horror, and speculative fiction reader/watcher. There absolutely should be animations geared toward adults.

I don’t like Rick and Morty. I think it’s dumb, self obsessed, drivel. I think it’s writing style is the literary equivalent of pumpkin spice latte. No one hurt me, I just don’t like it and I don’t understand why people do. I answered a question. I didn’t tell people to not watch it.

Day Z with a friend till I hate everything about every thing. And therapy twice a month.

I admit I didn’t read the article throughly, but surely if it’s impossiblely thin it can’t exist. I only bring this up because I’m an obnoxious pedant.

Everyone on Rick and Morty.

If they were sent through one by one, maybe. But you wanna bet they’re just literally shoveled into a hopper on top of each other while in sheer terror or being trampled to death by the others? You ever meet an animal? Do you really believe there’s no understanding of a bad situation?

I’m not sure how exactly that improves the world but OK. I’ll edit my comment. And from now on I’ll be more careful about that. Not just this time, but everytime.

Or just travel around and pay off school lunch debts, overdue book fees at local libraries, and get a round for everyone at every ice cream truck I see.

Wait, hang on just a second. I thought it was from kids that got lost in the ball pits of fast food chains.

That I had a wallet with exact change every time I opened it. Dinner? My treat, you tip. You need groceries? Give me the list. The lady in front of me at the dentist that can’t get more care till her bill is paid? Is cash OK?

And they’re assholes.

General. Finish carpentry is in-house, just about everything else is subbed out. We have some fantastic subs too. My plumber has worked with me for close to 30 years. We sort of came up together. And my electrician is the most particular electrician I’ve ever worked with.

We do renovations and build new homes. I’m a superintendent/project manager/babysitter. I love making people’s homes exactly the way they want them to be. Making custom one off shit for a single family that no one else has is absolutely the best. I love the idea thatbim making a house into a home.

The worst part is the fucking clients. Bunch of rich ‘have to have it now’ spoiled brat, lama people.

I’ve been doing this for about 35 years and still have zero way to reconcile these two things.
