We have a lot of stuff. And I mean a lot. We live in a rather large house with a lot of storage space and over the years, particularly since the children all moved out, we've filled most of it up.
So, now we're vaguely thinking about moving to somewhere smaller and more manageable for our twilight years, we're going to have to do something about that. And since it's going to be a long job, even though it's very unlikely we'll be going anywhere for a couple of years, I've already started on my ha…

Mists of Pandaria got laughed at before anyone had played a minute of it. Kung fu pandas. A whole expansion about kung fu pandas, plus a pet-battle system a lot of people immediately wrote off as WoW doing Pokémon. I remember the reaction to the announcement, and it was not kind. It also turned out to be one of my favorite expansions in the whole run, and I've never really backed off that.
The joke fell apart the second you actually got to Pandaria. The place was gorgeous. The Jade Forest, the V…

I’m using Blaugust as an excuse to push myself to write more regularly about my film podcasting, so far so good. Got one post out over each of the last four days, and this one will make five. I still have to catch up on two days, but given I’m finding a groove and there’s no travel on deck—the good money is on me nailing it. This is not my first blog rodeo, people, I’m a veteran. While you flog yourself, I blog myself into a frenzy of cultural genius.
Anyway, our most recent series on indie inte…

Movie on Faust
IndieWeb Movie Club
August 2026
Man is good: His spirit strives for truth!
Erzengel
Let’s strive this August by watching Faust (1926), directed by F.W. Murnau. It is a silent black-and-white supernatural horror. If you’ve never seen a silent film before or don’t care much for them, this is a memorable movie that will spark interest.
I saw it three years ago after a friend highly recommended it. It quickly landed on my Letterboxd top 4.
The runtime is 1 hour 46 minutes and is avail…

High Violet
图1 《High Violet》專輯封面
专辑信息
专辑名称： High Violet
歌手： The National
年份： 2010-05-10
时长： 47:40
要說這張專輯什麼最吸引我，無疑是主唱 Matt Beringer 的嗓音，低沉而温暖，在專輯裡你能聴到他的中音和低音，都很好聴。 Matt Beringer 的個子很高大，有時他戴著眼鏡，看著像是一個教授。
The National 這支樂隊的組成也很有趣，由主唱 Matt Berninger、雙胞胎兄弟 Aaron Dessner（吉他、鋼琴、鍵盤）與 Bryce Dessner（吉他、鋼琴、鍵盤），以及 Scott Devendorf（貝斯）與 Bryan Devendorf（鼓手）兩兄弟組成，也是挺少見的。
High Violet 是我聴的第一張 The National 的専輯，整體聴起來給人一種忧郁且深沉的感覺。封面看著像是插在瓶中的散亂的花，花瓣由許多單詞組成。
専輯裡我喜歡的几首是： Terrible Love 、 Sorrow 、 Little Faith 、…

It was my birthday yesterday! Thought I'd take this opportunity to just do a quick rundown of events on or around my birthday and say that I'm happy I'm still alive and writing about it. How's that?
My typical birthday celebration consisted of two things: Eating at Spaghetti Factory and watching an IMAX film. Although I didn't do either of those things yesterday, I did see a movie a couple days before and eat at ye' old Spaghetti Factory three weeks ago, so . . . it still counts!

You've heard a few stories from my youngest days (and there's plenty more I will share), but how about we jump ahead a little to my college days? In fact, I just heard this song on the radio at the end of July and it gave me the idea for the theme and inspiration for my participation in Blagust this year.

Although a big part of Blaugust for me this year is going to be figuring out what the heck this blog is actually about now, I thought it might be nice to do at least a couple video game centric posts over the course of the month.
I like chore sims in general. Things like PowerWash Simulator, Crime Scene Cleaner, and even Hardspace Shipbreaker all fall into this category for me. Doing the same thing over and over and over again until everything is in order, or completely disassembled, or organize…

I guess it’s official now that Mike Caulfield has finally blogged about the new film podcast we’re doing: Couch to 4K. In fact, we’ve been recording episodes since April as we’ve tried to figure out both our chemistry and some kind of workable format. I’m easy—I think everything I do is great, especially when it involves talking about movies. How wrong can one be?* We have three episodes out so far, and now that I’m back from my extended vacation and Mike has taken over production duties, things…

Sometimes a piece of media comes along that makes you think “Gee, did they make this just for me?” and while the answer is obviously “NO”, for me personally Star Driver feels that way.
It released back in 2010 and was created by Studio Bones, known at the time in the west in particular for Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater and Ouran High School Host Club.
The anime is a beautifully animated combination of mecha, song pieces and magical boy. Yup. Boy. The titular boy Takuto is the Ginga Bishounen (…

With this episode, number 72, Michael Branson Smith and I are 4 films deep into our series on international independent films from the 90s. We started down under with Muriel’s Wedding (1994), then we headed up to Tehran for The White Balloon (1995) then on to working class England with Life is Sweet (1990) then we jumped over to 1920s China for Raise the Red Lantern (1991).
Like many of the films from this series, I first experienced them as a young 20-something in independent movie houses in an…

Ask a hundred WoW players which expansion was the best and a good chunk of them, without hesitating, will say Wrath. I'm one of them. I've played every expansion since, and none of them ever quite got back to what Northrend felt like in 2009.
Part of it was the setup. TBC pulled me in, but Wrath was the first expansion I got to walk into on day one, already max level, already ready, no old-world slog standing between me and the new stuff. You picked a boat to Howling Fjord or a zeppelin to Borea…

📀 watched “The Dark Knight” on Blu-ray, still holds up. https://enwp.org/The_Dark_KnightI saw it in the Metreon IMAX theater when it came out in 2008. About 28 minutes of it was filmed in 70mm film using IMAX cameras. The movie switched aspect ratios when it switched from IMAX to normal film. The 2-Disc Special Edition Blu-ray also switched aspect ratios roughly at similar times. Nice to see that that was preserved.The movie has incredible pacing. No extra moments. I had forgotten how many quote…

Me and my SFF PC that travelled a lot in past 3 years
A bit late, but a very important post – introducing myself. I actually lost the “About me” page in the Backupocalypse that I mentioned before, so there’s no official introduction of me outside of a little paragraph in my Twitch channel description I guess. Will return that page with “official” introduction at some point, but today is a bit free format one, because I feel like it’s not going to be the first time introducing myself during annua…

After an early dinner at Cha Cha Cha (@chachachasf.com) we made our way to the Metreon.There was a line to get in. I have never before seen a line merely to get into the IMAX theater.

I literally have scores of blog posts about my film podcasting adventures that I’ve yet to publish. For nearly two years now, I have been co-hosting the Family Pictures Podcast, and we’re closing fast on 80 episodes. This spring I started a second podcast, Couch to 4K, with Mike Caulfield. It’s like watching and talking about movies is my new day job, and I love it. The only issue is I’m not feeding nearly enough of that back into the bavablog, and that pains me to no end. Somehow I feel that if…

For the past month I've been going through and putting the Riverside services through its paces. Mostly because I had used them in the past for other things, I wanted to see how their current lineup had grown to fit within my workflow. There were a few roadblocks that had turned the whole experience into something I couldn't get past.
In my previous podcast episode, I went over the experiences I had encountered that at least for me were some groundbreaking bugs I couldn't simply ignore. Most not…
