What Are You Thinking About?

Visited family this week. While driving through rural PA my husband joked, "How long do you think we'll drive before we see a Harris/Walz sign?" We didn't see a single one until we reached my family's house, where they had a Harris sign in their yard.

Anyways, next to my dad's singular Harris sign, our 80 year old neighbor put up two of her own - first, one for Trump with fake news on it. Second, a "Democrats for Harris" sign, apparently posted to annoy my dad but it's such a weird approach. He's the only Democrat for miles so no one is actually going to think he posted both signs, that makes no sense. It's just such a limp-dicked thing to do.

This is (one reason) why I don't do political signage - it invites the crazy in. I don't even want passive aggressive crazy.

In retrospect, VLR was kinda stupid. AI Somnium, especially the first game, is so much better, although I think Tokiko from the second game is the best character. She was what I feel Akane was intended to be.

VLR is usually more absurd than stupid. Zero Time Dilemma, though..... that one might be stupid.

I can't tell if Nirvana Initiative is better or worse than the first. I like the first more but NI might be as good or better. NI is tripping me out [recently] for irl reasons.

The more I watch MST3K the I realize that I like the black and white movies way more than the movies in color. It just seems like the absolute worst movies are the ones in color. 

Part of the reason I like the black & white movies are because I saw them first on Saturday afternoons when I was a kid. Seeing them get riffed reminds me of being 10 or 11 and making fun of them with my friends.

Those movies have a certain charm to them being so bad it's good. I just can't say the same for crap like Sidehackers, Catalina Caper or Being From Another Planet. Hell Plan 9 was more fun to watch than most of the color movies.

Past Me: Ok, bluesky will take off so I gotta be prepared and make sure I have my writing together and posting regularly. I probably have some time before that happens so I can get used to-oh God, Muskrat fucked with Twitter again and now folks are mad-mad! *Looks at follower count going up quickly...and still going up* 

Oh shit. I have to be an actual professional now! :distraught:

I've decided not to watch Manos: The Hands of Fate on Halloween this year. I'm plan on watching it this weekend. The idea of doing Manos on Halloween night just felt too predictable and unexciting and Halloween drew closer and closer. I do have a very special movie I plan on watching on Halloween night this year and it's going to be a doozy.

Spanish is a highly logical language, despite still having gendered nouns, a concept I find pretty stupid. I've heard that the subjunctive mood is hard for native English speakers to master, as it doesn't happen that often in English compared to Spanish. I guess I'll see soon.

I'm starting to wonder if I should grow my hair out again. Being bald is my preference but the last few times where I had to shave I ended up slicing my head open really bad and that's starting to get old real fast.

Paranoia is keeping me from voting early. It's red ass OK. I just know someone would fuck with my ballot and since there are no lines or anything of the sort, it would be easy to toss my ballot knowing fully well I didn't come in to vote for Donnie.

I don't know when I got like this. I have always been a planner, but now I can't do anything without overthinking it.

They put a bunch of political signs on the grass at the corner of an intersection a few days ago. On my way to work I saw the Trump sign had disappeared and when I was coming home I saw the Harris sign had disappeared. It's like damn some of y'all need to go hit the weed or something y'all tripping over some goddamn signs.

You know, I may vote early for one reason. My daughter will be voting age next year and I really think I should take her with me to see the process. If I wait until the 5th, it'll likely be harder to do with the lines and possible nut jobs coming out. My paranoia about voting early isn't unfounded, but also maybe unreasonable....so when I get her from the med center after her class, I think we'll go vote today. 

The only thing that may hinder that is we are slated to have heavy thunderstorms tonight but hopefully the news is correct in that they won't hit until after 6pm

I haven't been sleeping properly which usually results in me having random thoughts, probably because my brain is so bored with laying in bed staring at the inside of my own eyelids.

Last night I suddenly remembered this guy I went out on a few dates with, who my friends nicknamed "Hal" because of his bad breath... Don't know what that was about, his teeth looked fine, but anyways... Hal was a bit obsessive, which I didn't want to judge him for too quickly because I can understand how, if you like someone a lot (although I didn't understand why he'd like me a lot), it can make you a little weird.

He wanted to hang out constantly and was pushing for a physical relationship pretty early. I don't think that's all he wanted, he seemed to just want to move us along at a breakneck speed. I asked him for some space one week so that I could focus on work and stuff. He seemed fine with it.

Then after work on Friday, I text him about having an article published in my university's tech paper. He snarkily replied, "Wrong boyfriend sweetheart lol". So without asking to be in a relationship, he unilaterally decided we were already in one and then made up this whole paranoid scenario in his head of me cheating on him. All within 2 weeks.

This guy is likely still out there thinking he suffered some great infidelity, potentially still scarred from something that never happened. Outside of work, the only men I saw that week were Herbert and Frodo. My roommates' cats. Absolutely wild to reflect on after all this time.

I want a Trapper Keeper. Not the shit they sell now, I mean cardboard encased in plastic with awesome neon 3d images like cubes and pyramids and lines descending into the background so it looks like they are flying at you, with a pencil pouch that's full of shit I never use besides the one sharpened pencil that pokes through it. Easily torn edges so that in a few weeks when I open it it's like nunchucks and sealed with a Hitler stache tuft of Velcro.

And I want a text book with a book cover that I've awkwardly folded and improperly administered to the book so one side covers damn near half the inside of the book and the other barely fits around the book's corners which will surely poke out of the edges because I apparently can't follow instructions.

I also want a stop sign pizza.

I....is this a midlife crisis?

A lot cheaper mid life crisis than the more stereotypical buy a Ferrari one.

I know I should go out and buy more beer or get some good food, but I don’t know.

I wanna purchase something quickly while the merchant on the other end severely hates me and wants me to die like usual. I don’t wanna hear corny fucking jokes about a holiday neither of us are celebrating.
