Here in the U.S. we had our midterm elections this week, where we elect some new lawmakers in the middle of the president’s term. It’s usually seen as a “referendum” of how the president is doing, and given my view of our president (more on that down below) I was hoping the country would soundly … Continue reading “The Midterms”
October is behind us, and thus the spooky season has come to an end. Now with November beginning, the next of the Big Three holidays is on the horizon. I love Thanksgiving in whatever form it takes, but I find myself having to hold the line for it against the encroachment of the Christmas season. … Continue reading “Holding the Line for Thanksgiving”
Every October I participate in a daily art posting, originally referred to as “Inktober” but after a whole bit of internet drama it’s now referred to as… well… no one can settle on one thing so I go with “Drawtober.” It’s not as good a play on October, but it gets the point across and … Continue reading “Drawtober 2026 So Far”

I should have what’s called “partial dental flippers” to conceal them for cosmetic reasons, but there’s … Continue reading “I Didn’t Care Until I Did”

I’ve had a week to reflect on it, while also managing the initial pain and the current idle soreness in my jaw. Do I look as shockingly different … Continue reading “Toothless”

From its insanely clever character designs to its top-tier roster of voice actors playing the personifications of inanimate objects around your house, it sounded weird enough that I would give it a go. I don’t play games … Continue reading “Rage-Quitting the Dating Game”
It’s October, which means that spooky season has officially begun in our household, and no celebration is complete without music to set the mood. Halloween music can be a tricky affair that requires some digging, but all the more satisfying once you find the right gems. In an effort to spread the Halloween spirit (and … Continue reading “Spooky Music”
Tomorrow afternoon I’m going to an oral surgeon to get my bottom two canine teeth extracted, thanks to a case of internal resorption that is making my gums slowly disintegrate the roots of those teeth. I take some small solace in that this is not happening because I was neglecting my teeth. I mean, I … Continue reading “And Nothing But The Tooth”
During a recent trip home from a convention, where I was driving by myself for hours and needed to keep my brain occupied, I started to wonder what it would be like if I’d started Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire today. I mused on what would be different if I’d begun from scratch as a … Continue reading “Alternate Takes”
Over the weekend I learned that the professional wrestler PAC suddenly passed away at the age of 40, and news of his passing is hitting me hard. I’ve always had a fond relationship with professional wrestling. I grew up watching classic WWF in the 1980s, got back into it during the Attitude Era/Monday Night War … Continue reading “What A Bastard”
