My Xenomorph from Alien (1979) in a popcorn bucket. I didn’t get it from the theater. It’s from the web.

We’ve been feeding the backyard squirrels and I finally caught it with the time-lapse camera. It’s a chips and dips dish with water in the outer ring and rat food in the middle bowl.…
To anyone who wants to make the point: HuNTeRs HeLp with AniMaL PopUlaTiOnS…
I answer: That doesn’t mean I can’t celebrate his demise. You know he must’ve been a garbage human. A Dallas millionaire big game trophy hunter? Give me a fucking break!

Sometimes I play this Clubhouse 51 Games game on my Nintendo Switch. It’s actually a decent set of board games, card games, etc. I especially like the Othello ripoff and the Mastermind ripoff. They have other names. Sometimes I win Mastermind. Today, I won with three guesses left!



With six colors of pegs and four spaces to fill (with no color repeats), how many possible combinations are there?

Sometimes I still play Minesweeper (on Android) like the good old fashioned 1990s Windows days. And sometimes I win!

I used to live and die by my Microsoft index finger track ball. I loved it. But it broke. People would come to my desk at work and become befuddled. I had to provide a standard mouse for visitors.

“It would suck, wouldn’t it, if time collapsed in on itself?” I heard a random man say at a NYE party on December 31st, 1999. I believe he was speaking in general terms and not about NYE itself. I found myself agreeing with him silently. It would suck. Then he said it again. Before long he had said it near countless times. It turns out he was having a very bad acid trip. He was then sequestered in a room and began slamming furniture around. Some other people I also didn’t know evidently dropped him at a local ER and sped away. I felt bad for him.

I couldn’t find any comments about this online, so I decided to post one. There is a little melody in the movie Pretty Thing that sounds remarkably like the beginning of Reptile by Nine Inch Nails.
Please comment if you noticed this, too.
