If this isn’t a big ‘ol nostalgia pile, I don’t know what is. Day 4 photo challenge. 📷

An old R2D2 action figure on top of a wooden shelf. To one side is the Star Wars soundtrack on CD, in a cardboard longbox. It has the original Star Wars poster art. To the other side is the Batman Forever audio cassette board game.

Auto-generated description: A woman with terrified pose reaches toward the camera lense, while a hand bursting from a swinging pendulum clock chokes her. This is set against a bold, patterned background with ANIMALIZE and VERMINATEUR text.

Been grooving to Animalize’s new album Verminator. They’re like if ‘80 glam and thrash metal got in a car crash in France. 🎵

Day 3 photo challenge. Shadow of the laundry chair. 📷

A beat up plastic chair that’s broken on one side. There’s a shadow of the legs and seat below it.

Spotlight (pun unfortunately intended) on an everyday industrial curve; who hasn’t benefited from the humble street lamp? 📸

One of the local Salon’s sandwich board game is on point. 💅

I finally got my watch band replaced. A cat chewed it up while I was asleep more than a year ago, and it’s been slowly falling apart until it broke all of a sudden. ⌚️

I bought Betty Davis’s first album on Bandcamp. I already owned it on vinyl, but I need that deep funk digitally, too, you know? 🎵

The album cover for A Glimse Of Light by Enno Velthuys. A black field with a strip of white in the middle that cuts across horizontally. The white widens in the middle. The white is not a hard line, rather a collection of particles made solid towards the middle. The edges are a sea of star-like points of white.

I’m listening to A Glimpse Of Light, by Enno Velthuys today. Lonely, haunted electronic explorations into empty space, that somehow connect to a deeply human place amidst, or perhaps because of, the alienation. 🎵

I’m a certified Twig Designer. Please, one at a time!

I saw Parlour Magic last night. My friend knows Luke, the frontman/songwriter. Great show. Made me a fan. Check it out if you’re into electronic disco grooves. 🎵

Picked up this jacket at a vintage popup on my way back from therapy for $35. Feeling myself. Also, it got chilly so now I’m grateful for the extra layer.

Me, a white dude with a big ass beard and glasses, looking expressionless wearing a teal blazer over a red tshirt.

Friendship, 2024 - ★★★★

I laughed, I gripped my chair in anxiety, I laughed, I froze my face in a smile, I laughed, I walked out and felt like something insane would happen.

I’m told this was planned, but I chose to believe a rogue heavy machinist had a vendetta against Penn State. Respect.

My improv team The Cat’s Cradle Ensemble played the XL Happy Valley Improv Fesitval last night. Such a fun show, as were all the other teams. Check out our set if you’re inclined.
