dear drunk dads: it is ok for you to drag your visibly disinterested family to a concert venue, spend the entire time during the concert going back and forth from your seat to get more drinks, being on your phone when you get back, and generally being a distracting shithead, i guess. but where i draw the line is when you get up and do the floppy-arms-over-the-head, spinny-roundy drunk dad dance. that kind of shit is fine at a Grateful Dead concert and nowhere else. have some decorum for crying out loud. signed, the guy you kept bumping into

P.S. if your kids don't hate you yet, tonight will most likely be the beginning of a downward trend.

always a pleasure to crowdwatch in an audience like this. so far, no appearances of the "Fuck Me And Marry Me Young" t-shirt offered in the merch foldout of original-pressing Sisters albums. on the other hand there are so many black t-shirts that the venue lighting is struggling to illuminate the crowd area. it's like waiting for a Disaster Area concert from inside Hotblack Desiato's stunt ship.

at The Pageant, nine while nine and i'm waiting for the Sisters (of Mercy)

i wonder how many people here have a wadded-up character sheet from their 1998 OG World Of Darkness campaign tucked into their back pocket

i suppose it's too much to hope for that i can get Doktor Avalanche's autograph.

today's plot brainworm: it's "Stranger Things," but instead of "80's kids deal with Lovecratian abominations and psyonics" it's "90's kids unearth a UFO and one of them is an alien abductee and learns how to pilot it and lead their friends to a Strange Alien Future"

SO hyped for the release of Metal Gear Solid: Very Large Green Triangles

i wonder how much disk space the archive.org banned books collection takes up.

i wonder how many cheap USB sticks i can buy for $50.

i wonder how many "little libraries" are in my neighborhood.

hmm.

wake up. shake it off. spit out a tooth. round 2. #GO

you say "stealth mission," i say "find a vantage point and spam bomb arrows until the problem goes away." we are not the same. #botw

if you have time to spare, take ten minutes to read this article because it lays out pretty clearly all the yelling about #UFO's i have been doing for the last decade.

tl;dr, three basic points:

1. we don't know what they are.
2. what they are could be beyond our comprehension.
3. Minotaurs are an underappreciated cryptid and should be treated with respect.

apparently i am a work in progress.

and apparently the progress loops in on itself at some points, and then dips terrifyingly downward, revealing lower levels of decay and anxiety hastily papered over by other versions of me who are no longer around to be held responsible.

but that all sounds okay, right? it's normal. everybody's got issues. we can't all be struggling all day every day to contemplate the world of horror we live in while fighting our own troubled minds, locked in eternal battle with our inner selves. surely other people are handling it all perfectly well, right?

anybody?
