@joerlansdale.bsky.social I’m reading Waltz of Shadows, and I just had to take a break. I’ve read The Drive in Trilogy, Act of Love, the Nightrunners, Cold in July, I think most, if not all, your short stories, but with Waltz I needed a break and wished I was still smoking. Jeeze Joe, Whatcha done.

@joerlansdale.bsky.social I’m reading Waltz of Shadows for the first time, it slipped by me, and it’s about as far as Disney as you can get.
Today's movie. My daughter is home from college and wanted to watch a Disney film together.

@modestmouselarp.bsky.social Speak ‘n Spell (Or Not), is the perfect sequel or conclusion to Trailer Trash. Listening to them back to back makes me very happy.

I’m wondering how much of my life would be better off as a montage? 80-85%?

Is Blue Sky one word or two? Or hyphenated? Blue Sky, or Bluesky, or Blue-Sky? When in doubt do what Spider-Man would do…Hello Blue-Sky.
