We all have different “favorite” bands as we age. While I have never ever stopped loving my previous favorite, and they always remain on heavy rotation even after many decades, Death Cab has probably been my favorite band now since 2006 or so. I don’t think I go a day without listening to at least…

“Henry VIII is the reason we have The Snyder Cut”
J. Draper’s recent video “It’s All Henry VIII!: A Beginner’s Guide To The Dissolution of the Monasteries” is fun. Her walking out in that black dress holding a Monster can was very funny. This episode has a great energy and reminds me much of the great various “Connections” series by James Burke. (I found a…

∞ Crisis on Infinite Creeks ∞
Kangaerunowoyameta has what I can best describe as a delicate artistic style. Perhaps it is so much Creek are done mostly in grayscale washes? I’m not sure. Craig and Tweek are always drawn rather simply, but… well… delicately. Noses to a small peak. If they were real people… they’d be… well delicate. Ugh! Either I…

The jones is very real.
I know we likely will not get any Craig and Tweek moments this season. Maybe individually they might say something, but we likely will not see anything substantial. But the jones is very really. I’m so jones’n for some new canon Creek!!!

And another thing…
I have time to finally learn this Black Magic Design monster I’ve been slowly buying piece by piece and rigging since last year. I’ve got time to try and get the YouTube page up and running. I’ve had so many things planned that have never come to fruition. There’s no excuse now. Subscribe at https://www.youtube.com/@naladahc…

And they are complete.
Omnibus Vol III of The Sandman has arrived. They are truly beautiful books. I am very happy that I ended up buying these, as well as the Folio Society first 3 Dune Novels before my job was eliminated. It would be careless to spend such money now. Now is the time for personal austerity while…

Today is a new day.
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end. Yes. My life’s long pessimism at reality has been confused with what is really my life’s long pragmatism, learned in my mid-20s by being dirt poor, in extremely massive credit card debt, living pay check to paycheck, surviving othe barest of things, and having to figure…

∞ Crisis on Infinite Creeks ∞
So today has been a shit-tastic day. I was let go of my job of 24 years along with the other coworker on my team. I have not been without a job (more or less) since I was 12 years old working at a vet clinic for cash off the books. Since so many Creek…

The Second Beast has arrived.
The Sandman Omnibus Vol II arrived yesterday. It appears to be up there in size and weight with Vol I. Vol III is supposed to be arriving sometime later today. It is quite a beast as well. I’m kind of glad I bought these when I did. With my morning, all extraneous purchases are a…
