So a while back, I pulled some old Villains & Vigilantes (I think) character sheets, which people seemed to find amusing, so I figured I would dip back into the stack and pull out another one. Since I ran the game, most of the sheets in this stacks are going to be NPCs, and of them, most are going to be villains, because, after all, you gotta have villains to go with your vigilantes. Here’s today’s:

Yes, I know, this is Election Day here in the U.S., but—speaking of traumatic events!—it’s also the five-year anniversary of The Event. Well, more or less; the actual anniversary is on November 7th, i.e., this coming Thursday. But we don’t post on Thursdays around here, we post on Tuesdays*, and so you’re getting the anniversary post a couple of days early.
This being an anniversary that both begins and ends with a five, it seems like a good occasion to once again reproduce the entire six-part series on The Event for those readers who may not have seen it before, as well as for those readers who have been following the election and would like to take their minds off it by reading about somebody who was having an even more stressful day than they are. Probably. Anyway, read on for the tale of what to do, what not to do, and what might happen when your brain suddenly starts acting all weird!
* This is of course so that if I can’t come up with anything else to post about, I can always do a Teaser Tuesday.

The scene at Lowes on October 20th:
If you feel like on All Saints Day there might just be some knocked-over trees and sliced up balloons across from those guys on the left, you’re not alone.
Happy Halloween!
Nice Try, Oregon Trail
So I’ve somehow gotten onto at least half a dozen recipe lists over the past year or so. I’m not sure how it happened, exactly. At first, I kept trying to use the “Unsubscribe” links or buttons in the messages to try to get off the lists, but, to quote Rocky the Flying Squirrel:
No Thank You Siri
So this week I was watching the final episode of Season 2 of Rings of Power on Prime, wherein King Durin of the dwarves was … Oh wait hang on a sec:
Words, Words, Everywhere The Words
So I’ve sort of been collecting amusing (to me, anyway) screen shots of Spelling Bee words that were not accepted. Most of them are words I didn’t expect it to take but that I wanted to spell anyway, and since they’ve started to kinda clutter up my device with pictures, I figured it was time to finally post them. (Like I said before, it’s not easy keeping an author blog going when you’re not authoring …)

So last week, the automated processes at Facebook did this:

So the other day, we sat down to watch the first episode of the new series Agatha All Along on Disney+:
September is National Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month
Hey, look, it’s September, and that means, once again, that it’s Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month!
Why Are You Wearing That Stupid Man Suit?
It’s been a while since I did a “Not A Review” post, mainly because we’ve mostly been watching things my wife actually wants to see. (Even those put her to sleep sometimes, of course, and then I might throw on an episode of Umbrella Academy or whatever; but since at that point my wife is already asleep I can’t really say how long it took to put her to sleep, now, can I?)
