Just Because

I was tagged a couple of times by members to fill out @dicentra's SG questionnaire, so I thought why not?

1. What made you want to join SG?

It was a different time, and people weren't chronically online like we are today. I was already pretty active on LiveJournal and when I saw a photo of Quinne, I looked the site up. I actually joined...

loved reading this! Might do one of these in the future, but you definitely bring up a good point about blogs and site activity and it makes me want to get more engaged:)
minimaal:
so nice to read your answers, happy you are part of SG and help our community navigate the changing online world. Hope we can make the community more active again.

Had a really rough trip home - super excited to spend the rest of my holiday break alone with my cats, cooking yummy food in my crockpot and not wearing pants.

What are y'all up to this week?

Gauntlet Day 5!

21

We did it y'all. We made it to Friday!

Yesterday I went back to my eye doctor and guess what? My eyes are still a mess. That means sitting at my computer for work (either job) hurts me and I have to walk away every once in awhile. That means I'm still putting eye drops in my eyes every two freaking hours and not just...

Reading smut 😳🤦‍♂️ I went through something similar with my eyes many years ago (without the drops during the day & a gel at night my cornea would rip, very painful!) 🍀 with yours.  Currently reading the entirety unsmutty Isiah Coolridge series by Laird Barron. Noir / hard boiled / crime /thriller. He’s a former mob enforcer from Alaska turned upstate NY PI. I hadn’t read any of his previous work but figured extra points for the premise!

I feel you on the yes. I've had 5 eye surgeries and one left to go. 3 on my right eye and 2 on my left. I build 1/8 scale models were the screws used fit on a Q tip. Should have picked a different hobby. As for books I've been reading The Jack Daniels series. It's pretty good, also a series of Tony Valentine. Love to read while I'm relaxing on a plane.

Gauntlet - Day 4

20

Look at me, posting another blog! @fredhincanada - I think you may have actually started something 😉

Today's topic: A video game that you have spent the most of hours playing.

I'm NOT a gamer. Maybe it's the fact that my parents never got me and my brother any gaming consoles when were kids but I just never got into video games.

But then 2020...

@alexislust, I once bought a PS2 just so I could play Grand Theft Auto III. I eventually bought other games, but it was quite the expense to play only one game for a while. I’m sure you’d find other games if you got a Switch.
alexislust:
@johnnydiscard Maybe you're right. But sometimes I just sound like a kid who can't get enough toys and the adult half of me says it's an expensive whim 😣

Challenge Day 3

Hi hi!

I have seen quite a few of you posting for @fredhincanada's challenge. If you're not, why not give it a try?

Today I'm answering "One of your comfort movies/series that you have seen more than 3 times."

Since I work from home, I like having something playing on the TV behind me just for noise. I tend to cycle through bad reality...

No reality shows for me, aside from the occasional car / bike builder shows or the “off grid” builders looking for pointers for my eventual withdrawal to a mountain or desert somewhere!

Love this

Challenge - Day 2!

Continuing @fredhincanada's Gauntlet Challenge - have you checked it out yet?

Day 2 - What is a piece of art that you have, or would love to have, hanging on your wall or sitting in your house?

Ok, soooo.

My walls have a lot on them because of my concert venue job. I tend to get show posters from shows that I liked or if...

I love poster art, growing up I had as many bands on my wall as I could find

Fred's Gauntlet Volume 1

Y'all - @fredhincanada has challenged us all and I've gotta take him up on the challenge. I'm going to try to answer at least one question a day this week. Go see his blog for more info!

Today I'm answering the first question: Tell us about one of your favorite songs of all time.

How could I even be Kiley without Rilo Kiley?

One of...

I’m not often stumped by music, you got me! Cool choice.
belladonna:
This is a different kind of music, it has been a long time since I really listened to this style! But I hav to say that it is so rellaxing  🖤

Wednesday

Things are absolutely depressing right now with the state of events. Also, having some annoying health issues but nothing I can't get over.

So instead of grumbling about how miserable life is, I wanted to post something that makes me happy.

Recently, one of my favorite of ALL TIME SGs returned to the site - @dwam. And with that comes a new set in Member...

Spooky Movie Season👻

46

It's officially 🎃October🎃 and that means it's time for me to squeeze in spooky movies all month long. Well, when I can. October is also the busiest month at my theatre and we have SO MANY shows.

I've already watched the Craft because I couldn't wait until October, but what else should I watch? What's your favorite Halloween movie? Doesn't have to be really spooky,

I'm a fan of the SAW saga, but during the spooky season I also like watching films like Annabelle or some classics like The Exorcist or Nightmare
