  • I’m exaggerating here, I only have about 200 laserdiscs. That’s just a portion of my physical media collection. But I do really enjoy them. My toddler calls them “big movies” and we’ve watched Bambi I don’t know how many times. And hell yeah, Jaws and Aliens! I have the Criterion release of Silence of the Lambs, and that has also gotten a lot of play time.






  • Things like FOSS stuff makes you think people can organize and work together freely to achieve a common goal, and maybe anarchy could work. But then, you see a busy intersection when the traffic lights go out and you realize the general public are idiots and everything devolves into selfish chaos as you’re stuck a half mile back, as cars shoot through in no particular order and you inch closer to the madness terrified to make your left turn. I have zero trust in society without some form of rule and order.




  • The former director at our daycare is like this.

    “I’m so upset right now I’m literally throwing up! I need a support system right now.”

    Facebook friend: “do you have a minister you can talk to?”

    “Our minister doesn’t really care for me and (husband) because we lied about how closely related we were until after we were married.”



  • I had this lovely vintage Steelcase short back chair in my industrial themed home office for a while. Then the pandemic hit and working from home started. It didn’t take me a month to get some bad back and leg pain. Now, I have a Steelcase Leap V2 at home and a Herman Miller Aeron in the office. A good chair is so important when you spend a third of your day in it.



  • I know those two are, but I love them. Unironically. I’ve read the Waterworld comics, I bought the Arrow bluray release with the Ulysses cut the day it came out. I’m tempted to get a copy of Waterworld for my Virtual Boy to round out the collection.

    Battlefield Earth isn’t on the same level as Waterworld, but I still read the book after watching it and love the movie even more, having the whole story filled in.
