Severed

March 28, 2025

I got to watch the Season 2 finale of Severance with an innie. Or at least a person who had no knowledge of the show at all. It was enjoyable.

Art

March 20, 2025

There's an art shop in my neighborhood. Look at these cute little paintings, each with the name of a different neighborhood in the area.

Maks

March 18, 2025

If you're reading this, you probably had this cat stick his face right into your cocktail. Or stick his but right in your face. Probably both, and maybe both simultaneously.

Squirrel!

March 12, 2025

I filled my whole back yard with the nastiest smelling packets in existence.

Harriet The Spy

February 26, 2025

When I was in 3rd or 4th grade, the teacher read to us in class a little bit from Harriet the Spy. But then one day before she finished, she stopped, telling us that the book was available in the library. I wanted to know what happened so badly, but I never checked it out because I thought it was a "girl's book."

A Bad Book Recommendation

February 18, 2025

My Kindle advertises a book when I shut it off. That's fine, but it picks some that really make very little sense. I mean, they have my reading history. How hard would it be to pick something I might like?

What Did Your Pet Eat That He Ought Not Have?

February 14, 2025

I probably ought not tell this one, but what the hell. This is about one of our tour guides in Dominica -- a colorful character who went by a colorful name. And all of the herbs that he sent us back with.

Paddled

February 06, 2025

Twice in high school, a coach beat my ass with a paddle. Literally. They did that then.

Death and Other Ways to Break All Your Expensive Shit

January 28, 2025

There's a mystery in this show. And the mystery isn't the show's mystery. The mystery is whether this thing that's bothering me is sloppy production or a clue meant to be found.

Family Wedding and Record Snow

January 24, 2025

Since we spoke last, theskinnyonbenny family caught up with family at a wedding and then enjoyed the biggest snow storm ever.

Benny's Book Review - Horror Movie

January 15, 2025

2024 was a big year for reading books for me. I log them on Goodreads, mainly to help prevent me from re-reading something that was forgettable. I rate them, but I don't write reviews. I just did a quick search, and it looks like the last time I mentioned a book before this post might have been in 2015. And 2009 before that.

Favorite Albums 2024

January 10, 2025

I love and also hate going through different Best Albums lists this time of year. It's a little overwhelming -- so many albums that are supposedly great but that I never heard of.
