Still the same child that has always marveled at the extraordinary and the fantastic! Monster kid. Tech guy.

To my mind, amongst the triumvirate of bizarre beings (the others the Flatwoods Monster and the Yahoo), West Virginia's Mothman reigns over them all as an agent of American high strangeness. This paranormal provocateur became symbolic of a cascade of weird occurrences culminating in the Silver Bridge tragedy.

Listening to Greg & Dana Newkirk and Connor Randall discuss The Mothman Prophecies on their latest Haunted Objects podcast.

I enjoyed another fang-tastic Friday night watching the Ghoultide Get-Together show live stream. Holiday shows are always unique, with their focus on charity auctions.

I am happy to see the Drive-In Mutants here alongside @DarcyTheMailGirl.

Hard to believe The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs has been streaming since 2018, and I hope (with mention of a Valentine's Day show) into 2023 and beyond.

For those who partake intake and take cake, - Happy Thanksgiving. Today I'll be marathoning with riffing robots, a radioactive kaiju and the eighth wonder of the world.

The best Thanksgiving tradition, even before Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day Marathon, has been a marathon of King King and Godzilla movies.

It all goes back to New York City’s WOR-TV Channel 9 and a six-hour marathon television broadcast. Via physical media and/or streaming, I and many others continue that Holiday film festival tradition.

The world recently (November 3rd, 2022) celebrated Godzilla Day - the 68th Godzilla Anniversary of Godzilla (1954). Toho announced a new movie with a release date of November 3rd, 2023.

Here is a King of the Kaiju doodle I did to celebrate 68 years.

I am sure we are all happy to learn with the recent dictionary release that “guac” (short for guacamole) now counts in Scrabble.
I just presented Art Spiegelman with the National Book Award Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, on the same day that PENAmerica put out a letter signed by Art and Margaret Atwood and me, among others, protesting the latest round of book bannings.
