• With all the fog floating around this morning, I took the opportunity to walk through the nearby haunted forest.

    Site of a former TB hospital + Silent Hill mist = definitely haunted.

  • Do people still say “bomb dot com” or even “bomb” anymore? I hope not, because that would make this an even better product name.

  • At some point, I think The Day After Tomorrow became my favorite movie?

  • Get in Trouble by Kelly Link — ★★★★. Short stories are not normally my thing, but I read this in a single day!

  • The Wonder, 2022 — ★★★★½.  Now I know a lot about digging turf.

  • Black Adam, 2022 — ★★½.  I mostly watched this to rinse off Crimes of the Future.

  • Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir — ★★★. Am I officially not smart enough for this series?? 😱

  • Crimes of the Future, 2022 — ★★.  I didn’t need a sequel to Dead Ringers.

  • The Mist, 2007 — ★★★½.  If “oof” were a film.

  • High Society, 1956 — ★★★★.  Why’d they cut away from Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra falling in love?

  • Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, 2022 — ★★★.  What if we just let people have their own accents in movies?

  • Stagecoach, 1939 — ★★★★½.  Unexpectedly thrilling 80-year-old stagecoach chase scene!

  • Scrooged, 1988 — ★★★★.  Merry Christmas to the little guys living inside the Ghost of Christmas Future’s rib cage!

  • Adult Swim Yule Log, 2022 — ★★★.  A pretty good addition to the Yule Log Cinematic Universe. Still not as good as “Beechwood Edition”, but that’s a classic.

  • Emily the Criminal, 2022 — ★★★½.  Only do crimes with people who have charming smiles.

  • What if, instead of Twitter, I started a website that aggregated together all of RVA’s blogs?

  • My Cousin Vinny, 1992 — ★★★★★.  I mean, they have cream of wheat up there??

  • I had a blast voting at yesterday’s firehouse primary for the 4th Congressional District. Thanks to all the volunteers who made it happen!

  • Make a plan to get yourself out and vote (for McClellan!) in today’s Democratic primary.

  • Unfortunately, we’ve got to wait another season to pass before the horrible fencing around MDP Circle comes down.

  • First egg nog I’ve made in a long time! My friend (and pastor!) Erik makes the same recipe, and he had the chance to do so for VPM the other day.

    Homemade egg nog in a glass.
  • Letting Christmas music stream endlessly from Apple Music and it just played Space Oddity, which, sure, it is about family I guess.

  • I like to compare and contrast the fluff of a budget press release to the cold reality of a budget PDF.

  • When it comes to the safety of our streets, what we’ve done is good, but we need to do better.

  • The photos from the most recent exhuming of A.P. Hill are so surreal.
