Watching "As Above, So Below" and....ugh. It's kinda trash. Demonic, found footage with a archaeology lead that feels like someone's fanfic of National Treasure.

It's all shaky-cam adrenaline junky nonsense. It *tries* to be Flatliners at one point, but ineffectively. It all comes at the end, and too easily. With no more emotional gravitas than a teenage self-pity vlog.

And in the end, the horror doesn't *mean* anything. It's set dressing for a story written on a napkin. Trash. Just trash.

No, brain. We will not reread "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families". We're already having enough trouble sleeping as it is...

As we stare down the latter half of the Drupal conference season, it's a good time to ask,

"Is your conference policy equitable?"

New post, up now:

Paste wax is on, but I can't seem to get it as shiny as I like. I'm not sure if it's my technique, my impatience, or my RSI addled arms that's to blame.

Either way, almost done. I've been working on this toolbox all summer.

"You can't do this to me! I'll stew!"

*demonstrative brooding*

Closer and closer. Only one piece left before finish.

Went to the state fair, got henna.

I don't know about you, but that deal with Ardra is starting to sound rather good...

And it doubles as a nice little table too.

Put in *another* butterfly key into the toolbox. Getting better at this.

I miss being fun without it all feeling like gallows humor.

I'm unsure if I should be proud or ashamed I managed to repair a toilet in five minutes because I actually had the spare parts in my "house stuff" cabinet.
