PNW'r. Social media is a stream of consciousness thing for me. Politically independent/Center-Left (emphasis on Center). I love Erica!

Sincere condolences. But for whatever it's worth; I've learned that there is a certain beauty in the sadness, because it means that they're loved still.

I'ma open an "Herb Dispensary" that is actually fancy, organic and sometimes imported cooking herbs, which I'll give crazy names like "Jamaican Tango Tarragon", just to see how people react.

It's Christmas in July time, which I hate, and Eddie, who is an idiot, has gone at it full tilt this year. He called me from the police station; he said he got arrested "just for putting on his hat and going caroling". I said "Really?!" And he said "Turns out you have to put on more than a hat!"

I've moved away from cremation; the environmental impact is like running 100 gallons of gas through a 66 Chevy without a catalytic converter. When my time comes I wish to be unembalmed (which is NOT a requirement, not matter what they say), placed in an all wooden box, and returned to the earth.

The State of Washington is the first to allow "human composting", which is an accelerated decomposition. The remains can then be used as fertilizer (I think food products aren't allowed).

Every time I see someone talk about how they find some kind of funerary container online for a significant amount less than what the funeral home is charging, my first thought is invariably "Are you sure that it's not used?!"

As bad as the first 1979 Captain America TV movie was, the sequel (released the same year) isn't *good*, but it's way better and more entertaining that the snooze fest of the first film.

The recipe for these biscuits came from the 1800s. It's ridiculously easy. And they might be my new favorite biscuits!! There were a dozen before I took the picture. Had to make sure they were good.

How many times can you sit and watch Tombstone? I hope it's not 38, because I'm pretty sure I'm at 37.

My immediate question is "is there no more wall space in the 'near future'" or no more "ever"? If you think you have a good chance of upgrading in five years, store in the frames. If not tear them down. Also I'm quite jealous of the Adam West autograph.

In 2001, Missouri renamed a section of highway adopted by the KKK after Rosa Parks. In 2014 Wunsiedel in Germany "sponsored" a neo-nazi march to become a fundraiser, raising about $12k for anti-extremism orgs. Every time I see these assholes, I think "this is the way!"

Hey friends and cosplay fans; in the first Avengers film, Chris Evans wears a very retro pair of sweatpants/chinos. And I'm wondering if anyone can point me to where I can find a pair like them. They're not exactly Russell Athletics.

I really want the old-school digest editions to come back. Relatively inexpensive reprints that were small enough to hide in a 5th grade math book.

I have, at various times, acquired cereals based on all of these properties and I would think they'd want to cash in on that Millennial nostalgia. They're just leaving money on the table.

When I finally finish all my schooling, at the soonest opportunity I'm going to prescribe "an application of leeches to suck the Devil out" of someone. I know that there are medical leeches, but I think it's time to return to their true purpose.

As the notification window draws ever closer to closing, it's looking like I won't be presenting at Rose City Comic Con this year. Sad, but I'm sure they'll put on a great show and I'm grateful to have done it in years past.
