It was inspired by my actual Grandma's house which, despite its "creepy old house" vibe, was a beautiful home where many of my fondest memories were made until it burned down around the beginning of 2020.

The Clone Wars or: How I Learned to Stop Hating and Love The Prequels

I remember that feeling we had, my friends and I, walking out of the theatre in 1999 having just seen The Phantom Menace for the first time. “It was good,” we assured each other, the word “good” coming out several octaves high the way words do when you’re full of shit and you know it. It wasn’t good. Parts of it were good. Some of it was okay. Darth Maul was fucking amazing for all of his 6 minute

“When I was a child, adults would tell me not to make things up, warning me of what would happen if I did. As far as I can tell so far, it seems to involve lots of foreign travel and not having to get up too early in the morning.”
