Haha for half a second I thought it sounded like the baby goats we used to raise, but they said more of a "MAAAAA" lol
ojtheviking:
@rheacreatesmagic Haha, yeah, it does kind of sound like a goat too. He sounded way more like an actual child when he was yelling "Mommy! Mommy!" lol
I have started taking the steps today to remove myself from Goodreads, as it is owned by Jeff Bezos. Instead, I have joined The StoryGraph, a black-owned alternative that works very much the same way as Goodreads, except it distances itself from Amazon products, and it is much more user-friendly.

As a die hard Kindle user I don’t bear Mr Bezos any malice but I’ll certainly check this out. I’m always on the lookout for a way to keep my reading organized. Most of my reading is from free ebooks these days (my local public library or Kindle Unlimited) & it gets frustrating when those don’t show up in one place, or I lose track of authors I enjoy.

@skisby To me, there is just too much history with him and racial discrimination. And the fact that Amazon profits from white supremacy books.
A true horror legend.

Oh damn. If you saw him in the Start Trek Deep Space 9 episode playing the grown up Jake Sisko, you got a sense of his tremendous acting ability that his most famous roles never revealed. So intense and so touching. He was truly a great actor.

Disappointing but not surprising. I hate it so much.

My heart is so sad..
Totally forgot to post this here yesterday, although I posted about it on FB and IG.
Behold my next read! We have another debut novel on our hands, by Sunyi Dean. First published in 2022, so I'm a little behind, but hey, books are portable time capsules anyway.
I'm intrigued by the premise: There is a secret line of people who feed on books (so

It's been a long time since I read books. I'll follow your recommendation! 🧡
“No tears, please. It’s a waste of good suffering.”
I've been a fan of the Hellraiser movies for basically my whole life. Being the bookworm that I also am, I'm ashamed that I haven't read the source material yet. But that changes today. I present to you: The Hellbound Heart!
I do know that the movies go in a direction that is severely different

@littlejohn22 @richsquared Did you guys do anything specific? Dress up as anything?

You wanna know if I've started to take my coffee game seriously? Does the fact that I'm now collecting cool mugs answer your question?

I have a standard set of mugs from the supermarket 🤔 I like to go to cafes to get my caffeine dose. This is how I can control my addiction to this drink ☕✨

Wow, blast from the past! I don’t I’ve heard about him since the early 90’s. I liked his more raw, punk sounding, singing on the early Maiden albums. Rip.
ojtheviking:
@skisby Sadly, his career was very on and off in recent years. He had a lot of health issues, had to amputate a leg, and was in a wheelchair. He was a victim of his own vices, unfortunately, and kept declining. But he still released music on occasion. His most recent album with Di'Anno (the band) was earlier this year.
How goes it, everyone? How has this week been? And what are your plans for the weekend?
I've had some downtime this week. Nothing too dramatic, sometimes I just have to readjust and redelegate my energy, and I've spent some time trying to fix my sleep schedule, and catching up with my own writing process, as I was a bit distracted for a while. I...

@littlejohn22 I've been far too good at disappearing in the past, and just erasing any trace of myself. Just look at my profile here on SG and how I've had to start over after I thought I was gone forever last year.
ojtheviking:
@skisby Yikes! Yeah, raking leaves is a lot cheaper.
It only took me 40+ years to take coffee culture seriously. Welcome to my kitchen, little buddy.

I would also recommend getting coffee beans and grinding them by yourself. That aroma just feels soooo good 😋
ojtheviking:
@pesdusa I will probably end up doing that for sure! I'll become a total coffee snob in the end 😅
