Communicating Online

Daily writing prompt
In what ways do you communicate online?

The prime way I communicate online is through my blog here on WordPress and through social media. I have accounts on Threads, BlueSky, Instagram and the venerable Facebook. Email is a more thorough and personal way of connecting with others and to receive notifications about important things. Having a cellphone means texting too.

Check out the right sidebar for my social links and check me out elsewhere too.

Kpop Demon Hunters, Golden Fun, Golden Story

I am a total nerd for a good pop culture machine, and Kpop Demon Hunters is just that. This Netflix flick is full of visual treats, and plenty of soul, or is that Seoul.

When K-pop super group Huntrix featuring Rumi, Mira and Zoey aren’t selling out stadiums or topping the charts, they’re moonlighting as demon hunters to protect their fans from ever-present supernatural danger.

This movie pays tribute to K-pop and creates a story of music, adversity, and friendship that powers our group in defeating demons. It has some really catchy music that makes it even more special. It won The Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature and Best Song.

This is one for a re-watch. I recommend it to everyone.

It’s Going To Be Colder This Week

Temperatures are going to be much colder this week. So with that being said my Texts From Dog calendar has something to say about cold weather. It’s quite funny. Enjoy.

Dogs are snarky.

Fiction Speaking To Reality

Truth! Admiral William Adama of fiction speaks to the reality of the moment. This is one of Battlestar Galactica’s greatest commentaries. It seems like these words are a warning more than ever.

Something About A Funeral

I went to a funeral at church today. The person being memorialized was the brother of a fellow church member. Frankly, it was good to go and be reminded of how precious life is. Also, it was good to focus on being there for a friend who is grieving.

Everyone is grieving something these days. Losing someone special is a pain that hangs around for a long time. Trust me, I know all too well.

While I was there at church, I was unaware of what was going on in the rest of the world. Sure, I had my phone with me, but I just kept it in the holster on my waist. Bill, who was being remembered, and his family were the focus of the moment. I was glad to be there because it was the right thing to do. Rest in power to Bill and others who have left us for eternity.

Something About A Hellfire Club Dream

I had a dream the other night I wore a Hellfire Club t-shirt from Stranger Things to church. Church talks about hell from time to time, and I don’t think it would totally be inappropriate. Stranger things have happened.
