Last night I had a dream where I was doing something on my phone while a friend was playing a video game. Someone else in their party (someone online, I think?) wanted to go back to the start, but they couldn’t remember how to get there. I said:

Out the door, take a right, then left and left again. I’m barely paying attention and I remember.

I have no idea why that part of the dream stuck in my mind.

Yeah, but with MOLLE clips! What an operator!

I have a podcast called Almost Plausible where a couple of friends and I take an ordinary object and create a movie plot based on that object.

Fox never gave it a fair shake. It premiered in a time slot where TV shows go to die, and they aired episodes out of order. The pilot episode, which sets up basically everything wasn’t the first episode aired. Damn shame.

Well that sure takes me back.

Edit my podcast.

(Almost Plausible, in case you’re looking for another podcast to listen to.)

Now that’s a username!

My cat is exactly like this. She seems so puzzled as to why I would ever go in there. Then after I’m done, she likes to go in and watch water pool and run down the drain.

Did we ever get more purple petunias, though? I would be interested in very purple petunias.

I recently visited my city’s wastewater treatment plant for a tour. This was taken from the top of one of the giant digesters that process solids.

I still remember the telnet address to the MUD I played in the late '90s. That will be burned in my brain forever.

I played Munchkin once and hated it. The barrier to entry on that game is way too high.

I have a podcast called Almost Plausible that I make with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object (like a pillow, or a zipper, or a ceiling fan) and we create a movie plot based on that object.

We’ve been doing the show for nearly 4 years now. It’s fun to make, but it takes up a fair amount of my time. For me, a “reward” would just be more listeners. That would feel very validating.

Heist (2001)

I like all of Mamet’s films, but Heist is head and shoulders above the rest, IMO. Besides being a well written heist film with a great cast, it rewards rewatching. I’ve watched it so many times, but the last time I watched it, I caught a new detail I hadn’t noticed before.

Definitely a fun moment.

Jennifer Coolidge. She plays the same character in everything she’s in, and it’s a character I don’t find funny at all.

Which moment in Dragnet?

I definitely don’t have as much time as I’d like.

Where my fellow Spokane peeps?

It’s quite a bad movie, but it did inspire the creation of my podcast, so I don’t hate it.
