deadCenter Film Festival, that's what's on my mind It's 2026 and somehow I have still not gotten my shit together. The day before the festivities begin and I am just now checking out the schedule.

One of my all time favorites is Okie Short Shorts and I am super interested in Julie Takes a Walk. I love Okie stuff, animation, comedy, horror, and all things creative. If anyone has any recommendations for what to keep an eye out for, feel free to let me know!

How do you make the existential dread disappear

Does anyone else feel robbed of the opportunity to have kids, stability, and peace?

Today I had to evict some spiders. If it were my own house I would have kept them, but in this economy I can't lose my job. I didn't place them far.

Spiders in the House | British Arachnological Society

All houses will have spiders in them (see House Spiders). Sometimes these are hardly noticed because they hide away behind furniture and curtains and it is only when you move things that they are revealed, or perhaps one will go walk-about at night across the bedroom ceiling or carpet, or get trapped in the bath.

I didn't end up cleaning houses on purpose, but at the end of the day I get to help people which selfishly feels good. Plus if we're really honest about where society in America is headed, I thought it might be worth it to keep a log of sorts. Maybe one day people will care to know what life was like for a southern dust wrangler.
