So… anyway. Wish us luck starting mid-September. 😆😱🤦‍♂️

Remakes of The Crow have a tough hill to climb. The Crow (1994) was like a beautiful grunge / goth music video that arrived at a perfect time when Batman was getting the Tim Burton treatment, and a darker hero was needed.

Plus Brandon Lee’s unfortunate death on set only added to the mystique.

You can tell things are going really well over at Facebook by the fact that they seem to be the primary sponsor of BeReal.

Sorry to anyone at the McDonald’s drive thru who had to witness my ugly cry this morning.

Apparently it’s been a while since I’ve done my “Bad / 40 / Where the Streets Have No Name” therapy session.

Lesson learned and mistake won’t be made again. If Brad Frost is putting on a concert for his 40th birthday party, you should definitely try and go.

I feel like Voicenotes didn’t need to come at me so viciously in the title like that. 😆

Title reading letting melancholy ruin evening with dad energy suck.

Why is seeing the full body of people you only know online like seeing your teacher at the grocery store? 😆

“You exist outside of my computer screen? You have more than a floating head??”

If you’re not recording your podcast like this, I don’t know what to tell you.
