What are some things you do when you are home and bored?

Jump

  • I don’t have a lot of time for the boredom I so desperately deserve, but in my rare instances of free time I often think of immanetizing the Eschaton.

    • What's the worst rated film that you love?

    Jump

  • Robot Monster (1953), also Plan 9 from Outer Space.

    • It's June 2025. What are you looking forward to in the next 6 months?

    Jump

  • Extinction of the human race. Failing that, I’m looking forward to buying a non-HP wide format printer for printing TTRPG maps (my players aren’t keen on VTTs). Maybe an overpriced European Espresso/Cappucino machine, too.

    • Would you hangout with yourself?

    Jump

  • No. I can be a bit of a jerk and would probably say something to piss myself off.

    • I hand draw lines in CAD for design. What crazily outdated stuff do you do for work that seems hilarious ?

    Jump

  • Commute to the office.

    • What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon(s) as a kid?

    Jump

  • Dungeons & Dragons, before that it was Bugs Bunny. Weekdays it was reruns of 1940s Tom and Jerry cartoons with all the violence intact.

    • It's Father's Day in the United States. What is a memory of your father that left the greatest impact on your life?

    Jump

  • Best advice my ol’ man ever gave me was “Always stand up for yourself, otherwise you might as well put a target on your forehead”.

    • Is there a song in a foreign language you like the melody to but didnt know the lyrics?

    Jump

  • I loved his cover of “Calendar Girl” sung in Japanese.

    • Is there a song in a foreign language you like the melody to but didnt know the lyrics?

    Jump

  • “Fighting in Built-up Areas” by Ladytron. Sung in Mira Aroyo’s native Bulgarian.

    • Do you find protest fun?

    Jump

  • I found them fun in the 90s. Now that I’m in my 50s and take longer to recover from bumps, bruises, and batons than I did in my 20s, it’s not as fun.

    • What were some computer programs and games you grew up with?

    Jump

  • Asteroids, Missile Command, and Combat.

    • What's the oldest thing you enjoy on a daily basis?

    Jump

  • My Atari 2600. Xmas gift in the late 70s.

    • What was the worst hotel you ever stayed at?

    Jump

  • Late 1980s, the Ambassador Motel in Grand Forks, ND. My family spent a weekend there while vacationing. Dingy, dirty, fights broke out in the hallway.

    • What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

    Jump

  • Police uniform.

    • What thing would you give up forever?

    Jump

  • AI, lawn, my car, plastic.

    • What does 1000€ buy you in your favourite hobby?

    Jump

  • 1000€ (roughly $1600 CAD) would be a nice down payment on a decent cargo bike like the Yuba Mundo Lux.

  • Three weeks, over a very hot summer. Our office manager had the only key to the thermostat for the whole office, and refused to put the air conditioning on. I stopped bathing in protest. At this time I also commuted by bike (17 kms each way) daily and absolutely stunk. I’m still amazed he took three whole weeks to cave…
