Christmas is only ten days away, folks! And because I have this platform (and zero shame), I intend to use it for blatant self-promotion! So if you’re still looking for a Christmas gift for the reader in your life, check out one (or both) of my books! Camelot Fallen is a revisionist take on the King Arthur legend partially inspired by John Milton’s Paradise Lost, telling an epic story of love, faith, despair, and redemption. My second novel, Daylight, is a supernatural sci-fi love story about heartbreak, sacrifice, loss, and learning to face the darkness within ourselves.

Happy National Alabama Day, everyone!

Boom shaka laka.

These are the current AFC South standings. Kinda tight, actually…

Jaguars: 8-5-0
Colts: 7-6-0
Texans: 7-6-0
Titans: 5-8-0

I honestly don’t know what to make of any of the teams in our division. The Jags lost Christian Kirk, and Trevor Lawrence is almost certainly hobbled (probably surviving on injections to his bum ankle). He was definitely not very good this past week and lost to the exhumed corpse of Joe Flacco. The Colts are starting Gardner Minshew and just got their butts whipped by Jake Browning. As for the Texans, at this rate we’re gonna have to start pulling fans out of the stands to fill out our injury-depleted offense. And the bottom-dwelling BESFs somehow just beat Tua and the Dolphins, who have been running away with the AFC East all season. Nothing makes sense. I need a drink.

P.S. – Apologies for the missing MNF thread last night. I was at my son’s choir Christmas concert.

Can we… like… just pretend yesterday didn’t happen?

So hey, I watched Killers of the Flower Moon the other day. It’s long, but it’s really good. I also recently re-watched Alex Garland’s 2014 sci-fi masterpiece Ex Machina, which is amazing and brilliant and you should totally watch it too.

On this day in 1941, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, killing more than 2,300 Americans and prompting our country to enter World War II. It also resulted in a bad movie starring Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck.

Happy National Microwave Oven Day, everyone!
