Awesome! I just recently watched Frankie Freako and, once again, had a blast with it. I'll bet that was a really fun night.

It feels like he's making movies just for me and no one else and I kind of love him for it

Dang, I wish I'd seen this sooner! My son is a big G fan and I would have loved to have gotten this for him. I'll keep an eye out for it next year.

I meant to say "Kickstarters and Humble Bundles"
SpaceMonkeyX (@spacemonkeyx.bsky.social) reply parent
My unplayed RPG "shelf" isn't nearly as exciting to look at. I've backed so many Kickstarters over the years with the thought of "I'll try this one with the kids..." I also have a few older games that I've *ahem* found online. Maybe someday...

When I was a kid getting all the back issues I was missing, this one eluded me for *years*. My aunt in San Diego finally tracked one down for me and Mom gave it to me for Christmas.

Very cool! That Fly one is definitely on my wishlist. I have quite a few of the classic ones (spacemonkeyx.com/2024/10/18/c...) but this is my first Tales of Terror.
SpaceMonkeyX (@spacemonkeyx.bsky.social)
Well, I can't say this is my most sought-after Crestwood House Tales of Terror book, but in this condition - and for only $7! - I'll take it. #horror #horrorlit

Nothing wrong with that! Last night, Andrea and I microwaved some of the good jalapeno & cheddar brats from Sam's for dinner. π

Four hours in. Just threw on some potatoes to cook, too. Temp is about 140, so 20-25 degrees more and then we wrap for a few hours.

I don't know that you'd really be missing much if you skipped it. Unless you have a 10-year old niece you want to connect with, that is.
SpaceMonkeyX (@spacemonkeyx.bsky.social) reply parent
It's a lot of fun. It's also not horror at all, if that's what you were hoping for. The characters are fun, the songs are banging, the animation is impressive. It slows down a bit in the back half, but picks up again at the end. That being said, I probably won't watch it again anytime soon.

I do that all the time in my car. I'll be listening to a podcast streaming from my phone and then panic because my phone isn't in my pocket. One time I even turned around before I got out of the neighborhood and went back home. Didn't realize what I was doing until I pulled into the driveway.

A fellow roller derby husband was accidentally sent a 25lb box of Oreo pieces at work. (He works in IT; he was confused π) So he gave it to us to vacuum seal packages and give them to team members in exchange for using them to make him a cheesecake. I was not expecting a single giant bag of Oreos!

If you're interested, there's another TV spin-off called Wellington Paranormal that follows the cops that come by the vampire house. The comedy is mostly in the dialogue, so subtitles are suggested to make it through their Kiwi accents. It's a fun little distraction.
