Bumming Around

If Dollar Tree don' hire me, well, uh-oh.

There is a snack out there that rivals Goldfish, and 15% of my body weight must consist of it.
Stauffer's are little whale shaped cheese crackers covered in a special seasoning that I can only describe as godly. All my life I have thought that they were only sold at Walmart, but recently I have found them fully stocked up at my favorite store on Earth, Dollar Tree.
My shelves are entirely full of these crackers now.
Many of my friends and family members argue that Goldfish are better, but in my opinion they have little to no flavor compared to .
I will say that Cheez-Its have a nice toasted flavor that I may favor sometimes, but other than that I eat nothing but these things whenever I can get my hands on them.
Now that they're sold at Dollar Tree I may gain 400 pounds.


The 'Backrooms' Movie

2/26/2026

8:42 AM

The Backrooms movie is going to be releasing this May, and I couldn't be more excited. Unlike the Five Nights at Freddy's movie, I believe that this will be a movie of quality and great attention to detail. The teaser had me shitting bricks.
My only hope for the movie is that they will focus less on the 'scary monsters' that inhabit the area in Kane's original short films, and instead on the emptiness and dread that the Backrooms should give to the viewer. I always felt that it was much scarier that way, like House of Leaves.
Regardless, I'm beyond excited for this movie and can't wait for it to come out.

Not that I have anything against the FNAF movie, by the way, I just believe that it could have had better writing.
The sequel was much more disappointing.

A Moment's Appreciation for Groundhog Day.

2/23/2026

Groundhog Day is an American holiday surrounding the century-old practice of allowing a single groundhog to predict the weather for the next 6 weeks or so.
Groundhog Day is my favorite holiday.
Although I didn't mention it in my post the day of this momentous occasion, I was incredibly excited for the furry prognosticator to tell our future.
The movie does injustice to the holiday in my opinion, as it focuses less on the future-telling magical powers of Punxsutawney Phil and instead focuses on one of the most horrifying fates to befall a human being.
Although Phil has fortold a late spring this year, I will not hate the player, and simply hate the game. Many people have been rooting for Phil's resignation, but I do not see it as necessary.


CONQUEST (1983)
and other such movies.

2/2/2026

10:40 AM

Last week I was searching for movies to watch with my girlfriend. During this process I found what I consider to be the most bizarre fantasy movie I've ever seen.
CONQUEST (1983) is an italian sword & sorcery film about a warrior sent on a quest to defeat the dark queen Ocron using his magic bow.
Before you go and watch it  I must warn that it is a movie full of over-the-top gore effects and multiple scenes of topless women front and center. Despite that, I still love this movie dearly.
The soundtrack is incredible, and it creates a tone of mysticism throughout the film. All of the acting is juuust bad enough to where it creates more of a surreal atmosphere than a low budget one.
This movie had me wondering what other awful c-list 80s fantasy I was missing out on. Later, I found a movie called The Dungeonmaster (1984)AKA. Ragewar
where a programmer must use his computer powers to defeat an evil wizards many challenges, each of which is directed by a different person, to save his wife.
The wife in this movie is initially fed up with how obsessed the main character is with his computer, but comes to terms with his robot side chick when it is the cause for her survival. It is a much easier and fun movie to watch compared to CONQUEST, although I still do prefer it.


I Love my Website

"Well why don't you marry it?"
This website has been the most fun I've had with anything in ages. It's been around 2 and a half years since I started with megaweenie.com, and I'm damn proud of it so far!
This thing is my baby, even though I'm certain it's full of security issues. I'm finally one of those 'webmasters' from the ugly color-filled personal pages of the late 90s.
I think I'll be adding some more onto SKYCASTLE soon, I threw in a button that doesn't do anything at the moment, but I want a little page where people can see trailers and commercials for some stuff I like. It'll be boring but I'll love it.
I'm still posted up in Chicago, nice and unemployed for now, but tending to this site is keeping me happy and learning.

Anyhoo, on life, I feel great!
My hopes are finally up for the future, it's looking happy. The world isn't going to explode if I don't have a doctorate in computers or whatever, and as long as I have a roof and food to eat, I'm good!
Also, I just never had anything much to say these past couple months, so now there's another fat gap in my blog. Yuck.

Stealing from Target

2/1/2026

2:38 PM

Shoplifting is widely considered to be illegal. However, I believe this taboo only applies to small, locally owned businesses.
Target is not one of these.
I've often heard that target keeps an exact record of how much you have stolen from their stores, and only acts upon it once the value reaches a certain limit.
To me, this seems like a store that gives you anything you want, for free, until you hit a mystery number (of likely thousands of dollars.)
Interesting.
Because of this, I continually walk out of their stores with $50 worth of groceries, having only paid $15 or so, to cover guilt and gain a receipt to reduce suspiscion. What a place.

You never steal from Aldi.
Aldi is there for you, and you alone.
Aldi deserves a little more respect than that.

Addendum

I was once a man who stole from Aldi. Those of you who know this to be true must understand that I was different once, a scoundrel.
I would like to formally apologize to Aldi for my sins.


They ruined it.

The game I was obsessed with for many years in my early childhood, My Singing Monsters, has recently ruined an entire portion of the game;
bbno$ has been added as a monster on Cold Island.
His monster has only one purpose:
To occasionally demolish the song by whispering, "Yezzir it's cold outside"
as if he were an addict attempting to convince you to give him money.
Although I haven't been active in this game for years, this still feels like a punch in the throat. Shameful.
