๐ธ Another year, another Nevermore Film Festival here in Durham! ๐ป๐โ ๏ธ
Iโve been attending this horror film festival for well over a decade and itโs been a pleasure supporting it over the years at the beautiful Carolina Theatre. 20 years! Just amazing!

It is POURING here tonight ๐งโ
One of the things that freaks me out about our new-ish home is the fact that it needs a sump pump in the crawl space underneath for when it pours and the water table gets too high. Iโm glad itโs there of course, but Iโm also really paranoid when I donโt hear it switch on during a HUGE downpour that rips through the Triangle. So far it always turns on faithfully when needed. But the minute our electricity goes out. Weโre screwed.
I know, I know, get a generator - but we are often out of town so, we are super reliant on the grid which, thankfully, has been pretty solid over the years. ๐
๐ธ Got some thoroughly needed time away in the woods with this one. ๐ณ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐ฒ
These little breaks away from Durham have been so, so good for us and our individual wellbeing.
Weโve been trying to make more space for times like these, and each time we do, it consistently gives back tenfold. โค๏ธ๐ซ

It never ceases to amaze me...
I witness, in my day to day, a lot of people who dismiss podcasts as a nonsensical medium that, more than ever, is filled with amateurish drivel, not worthy of consuming.
I swear…. in the last year alone, Iโve discovered more incredible, lovely, awe-inspiring humans via podcasts than I ever would have via television, movies, commercial radio, etc….
I am so damn grateful for it!
Tips: *Re-REvisiting* My Workflow (again) for Launching .scriv Files in Marked and Scrivener Simultaneously
Hey y’all, a friendly Tweep ( @ckrueger99 ) on my feed let me know that this age-old Alfred workflow has, once again, stopped working. I’m absolutely bogged down in contract work at the moment, but I am making this a fun diversion in my down time to try and figure out what came unplugged. Stay tuned!
Was out for a walk this afternoon...
When I stepped out the door it was in the low 70โs. When I got back to the house 2 hours later, it was in the high 50โs. CRAAAAAAAZY temperature swings here in the Piedmont region of NC.
Itโs really odd having it be so warm in early February, so while I was caught off guard wearing a T-shirt during my walk, at least itโs getting back down to more seasonable weather this evening.
On Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
I never do this but, Iโve been checking daily to see if/when #spiderverse went on pre-sale (iTunes).
Finally noticed it today. So many things are proclaimed no-brainers. This is a literal one. Didnโt even think. Just clicked the โbuyโ button. Itโs that good.
Update (01/11/2019): Looks like the link is working again!
๐ธBack home after a LONG road trip...
… filled with hours of unexpected construction delays from my homeland (New England, NH & VT). Decompression and reflection necessitates much needed time with ๐ต in front of the ๐ฅ back at the ๐ …

๐ธ Da BubbinSpoonful keeps getting biggoh!!๐ถ
My brother’s doggo, Ginger, is officially full grown. I am glad I can still hold her!

๐ธIts nice to have a reminder of how beautiful the winters can be up north.
Itโs one thing where my memory has intentionally run short after moving south. ๐
๐ธThatโs some beautiful evening-walk-home light you got going on there Durham โค๏ธ๐๐๐

Been making slow but sure progress on theme tweaks for this site.
I decided to go with a “dark-mode” motif (yeah, I know, it’s trendy) and prefer it a lot more to the eye-shredding brightness of the orignal theme.
There’s always more, but I think it’s getting there.
Does anyone know off hand if itโs possible to auto format posts that come in from OwnYourGram.com? I often find myself editing each of them afterwards, moving the first sentence into the heading of the m.b post. Is there a way, for instance, to add markdown to the first sentence of each Instagram post that gets added to my micro.blog site?
๐ธWhat a gift to be amongst friends watching friends playing the sweetest music for friends. โค๏ธ

๐ธTo date, I have no earthly idea about how my head is wired.
But, walking quickly by this razor thin alleyway, all I could see was this childโs lost playground ball.

If your iCloud.com (or, in my case, me.com) email isnโt sending...
…and is stuck in outbox purgatory, you are not alone.
I reached out to Apple support this evening and they confirmed there is a current outage for โsome usersโ and that engineers are on it.
So if you are getting the same error (eventually, it can take a while), rest assured, the right people are looking into it.
Hopefully.
Because man, do I hate to crack open my secondary Gmail account.

TFW people complain about skim milk not making it into their pumpkin spice latte...
…while a single, seemingly innocuous cut on my finger tip, reduces my daily productivity by 40%… ish. ๐ ๐ฌ๐
