My Notes: “My choice to follow Jesus has shaped the way I define evil…Evil is the absence of love.” “The opposite of murder is creation—creation, which is the telos of love. And because art, true art, is an act of creation, it always transforms its subject into itself, even if the subject is murder. An act of darkness is not the same thing as a work of art about an act of darkness.” “…when an artist uses his imagination to […]
The Nightmare Market, Jay St Schenectady, 2025 November 29, 2025 The Jay Street Nightmare Market lived up to its name in the best way. The crowd was thick, shoulder to shoulder at times, but it only added to the energy. Every turn offered a new photo opportunity—shadows, masks, movement, a flicker of light over something that probably wasn’t meant to be seen too clearly. Something wicked this way comes Ambiance Luna Faun – Fire Dancing

I went into Unsweetened somewhat blind. I knew Jodie Sweetin had struggled with substance abuse, but outside of the occasional tabloid headline at a supermarket checkout, I’d never paid much attention to her personal life. It just wasn’t on my radar. I did, however, grow up loving Full House. No matter how saccharine sweet it got, I always enjoyed the episodes, and I especially liked reading some of the behind-the-scenes stories in If You Would Have Told Me by John […]
Tales from the Gas Station: Volume One is a little weird and a little dumb — but it never fails to be entertaining. The book blends elements of humor with bite-sized bits of horror, but more than anything, it just leans into being delightfully odd. It’s not quite scary enough to be true horror, and not quite sharp enough to be full-on satire. Instead, it exists in this strange middle ground that makes for a fun, easy read. There are […]
I have a real affinity for stories that play with liminal spaces — places where geometry doesn’t quite make sense — so I was genuinely excited to dive into The No-End House. I was hoping for a classic haunted house tale or maybe something leaning into the psychological horror of A Short Stay in Hell. What I got instead was a rushed story about uninteresting characters encountering midget Nazis (yes, really), dinosaurs, stolen kidneys, and Jason Voorhees. Absurd and implausible […]
This was the first only primary release of the Cobra Laser Viper. He was released in 1991 and discontinued in 1992. The job of a Laser-Viper is to illuminate targets for H.E.A.T. Vipers (1989) and Cobra Condors (1989). This might force the Joes not take these troopers seriously, but Laser-Vipers are frequently supported by the vehicles they “spot” for, and this could put the Joes in peril. From The File Card: Laser weapons are only effective at relatively short ranges […]
This second version of Sci-Fi (v2) was released in 1991 and discontinued in 1992. A pretty decent update of an unusual figure from the 1986 line, this version of the former Laser Trooper turned “Directed Energy Expert” is dressed in midnight black with a high tech loadout. It is hinted in his file card that he is a bit obsessed with his work. From The File Card: DIRECTED ENERGY EXPERT File Name: Fine, Seymour P. SN. 793-2919-8F29* Primary Military Specialty: […]
If you let it, Bill Fay’s Thank You Lord has the ability to humble you in the quietest way. It isn’t a sermon, it isn’t a worship song or a praise anthem—it’s the sound of a man standing quietly before the vastness of grace and just… speaking. There are no pretenses, there is minimal flourish, no need to prove devotion—Fay’s cracked, weary voice moves into awe, humility, and the simplest truth. There’s something deeply moving in how the song holds […]
