What Are You Thinking About?

I haven't intently watched America's Got Talent in years, but the guy who won yesterday only won because of his sob story. A middle aged janitor who can song pretty well, but not well enough to win a national talent show, IMO. His rendition of Don't Stop Believing was quite poor.

Packard might as well go on the show and perform smoke ring tricks at this point.

The reason why I love the Halloween season more than any other holiday is because there's no other time of the year where I can get a lot of enjoyment with very little effort. All I'm doing from now until November is watching movies and that's it. I really don't have to put in a lot of effort into finding a movie to watch. Most of the times it's either anime or Mystery Science Theater 3000. I'll even listen to some music the lofi channels on YouTube is already streaming Halloween music. That's all I have to do, watch movies and listen to music and it costs me 0 dollars. So for me Halloween is will always be the GOAT of holidays.

I went to see the new Beetlejuice movie. It was a a rather Gen X experience. Mind you I don't think that's a bad thing, as I guess I'm now an old fart and I understood almost all of the references. And Tim Burton has always been more about style over substance. It was a fun movie nonetheless, and I'll probably watch the inevitable third one.

I’ve fantasized about time travel for so long now, and the crummy thing is knowing future credit cards won’t work.

That, and I can’t expect a whole bunch of cash to be thrown my way just because I’m from a shitty future. I could rob my broke ass self, but then I’d be creating a paradox.

Alternate timelines could possibly be a thing though. Also, parallel universes could be a thing, too.

I’ll inevitably create an alternate timeline just going back to where I need to go. I have no say in how severe the changes will be, but I can be cautious. 

A universe similar to this one would be fine too, I guess. I’d just be too nervous to wanna mess with multiverses completely.

I forgot to mention playing video games. Super Castlemania IV and Super Ghouls n' Ghosts are must plays for me every year not to metion there's other Halloween themed games to play, this year I'm planning finally completing Addams Family Values on SNES (a very underrated game fyi).

The ceremonial “wait an hour and reserve the NYCC panels” is done, although the LOTR one filled up before I got to it.  Got everything else at least, so I’m going to try and get on the standby line the day of.  See what happens.

Duolingo has this new video game segment, and right now it's only available for French. I don't even want to learn French right now, but I'm begrudgingly going through the lessons until I get to a video game segment.

Here I go again, avoiding actually studying Japanese grammar again. Oh, grammar is so boring. 😩

Hurricane Helene is scheduled to hit my city by 6 am. It was nice knowing most of you. Delete my browser history. :LithiumSmileyIndifferent:

Lack of decent sleep aside, I’m fine. The storm was seriously downgraded by the time it hit my area. It’s freezing outside, though. Can I take a nap now?

Are you studying for work or fun? :)

Well, my mother's side of the family is Japanese and doesn't speak English that well. I can speak more than enough Japanese to get by for any of my travel needs, but I want to be able to speak at a higher level.

Perhaps the UEMB will eventually have a Renaissance of sorts, if one is to believe the dead internet theory. We had quite an uptick in activity during the 20th anniversary. The memories are still there for many people no longer active in our community, and we are a respite for the increasingly deader internet full of algorithms and bots.

My insomniac musings . . .

My uncle just called me. I didn’t answer because I just didn’t feel like talking. He left a voicemail. 25 seconds of what sounds like garbled TV noise in the background.

I’m very familiar with butt dialing. But a butt voicemail is unfamiliar territory.

My MiL has managed to call me by accident so many times and I have no idea how it happens with a smartphone. In one voicemail, my phone transcribed it as "Yeah, Thursday. Dead dead dead."

I know apple said they would start supporting rcs this year on the ios. I see some of my contacts with iphones have rcs available now, but it doesn't seem to work the same way if they were android users. And some of the iphone users are still sms only.

Whatever. I probably still show up as pleb green bubble. 🙄

Nintendo emails me a special 8-digit promo code to get 15% off a new game for my birthday. I’m not really in the market for a new game, but I’ll bite. I pick one out and enter the code.

”Please Enter The Entire 12-Digit Code Provided”

Um….am I supposed to just guess the last 4 digits here, or what?
