PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

How to make Battlestar Galatica fans’ heads explode

One of Jim's classic pranks on Dwight from the 10/9/08 episode of The Office.


The dialogue is so priceless, I had to give the transcription:

Jim: Did you see Battlestar Galactica last night?

Andy: No. Is it any good?

Jim: No, it's really so-so. Like, it's all crazy monsters and stuff, like Klingons and Wookiees and all that. But -- sorry, you wanted to add something, Dwight?

[A pained Dwight turns away.]

Andy: Is it anything like the original Battlestar Galactica?

Jim: It's weird -- it's practically a shot-for-shot remake.

Andy: Interesting.

Jim: Yeah. The story's kind of bland. It's about a guy named Dumbledore Calrissian, and he needs to return the ring back to Mordor.

Andy: That doesn't sound right ...


You think?!!!!
(The sound you hear is a KABOOM!!!)
