🎬 Synopsis

Strange Harvest follows detectives Joe Kirby and Lexi Taylor as they are pulled into a disturbing investigation involving a serial killer known as Mr. Shiny, whose return marks the beginning of a new wave of grotesque, ritualistic murders. As the detectives uncover increasingly impossible crime‑scene details, they begin to suspect that the killings may be tied to a dark cosmic force rather than a human perpetrator. The film blends procedural realism with escalating supernatural horror, creating a tense, documentary‑style descent into the unknown.

Remembering a Friend...

  Not too long ago, I logged onto there.com and began browsing the event schedule. I was shocked to see a buggy event listed as a tribute to Lars_lars, who had passed away in early November 2025. I do not know the details of his passing, but what I and everyone else in this world do know is he was taken from us much too soon. In one of my last chats with Lars, we discussed the resurgence of there.com this past May and summer. We talked about the influx of new people, some of whom stayed on and others who were mostly virtual tourists passing by. In the comments section of Glob's massively popular Youtube video, Lars expressed thanks to him for rejuvenating our world.   In 2018, some friends and I decided to attend a prom event on there. We were supposed to be a group of three couples, but my friend Phebe's date was unfortunately a no-show. I felt bad for Phebe since it was shaping up to be a fun-filled night, and her date had pretty much ruined the event for her. In a stroke o...

Odds and Ends...

  Now that the Fair is over, I wanted to look back and reflect on all the activities and events of the past couple weeks. I am really glad I decided to share my event space with diaryainzon and her Writing Club. I had a pretty large lot at one end of the fairgrounds, and collaborating with Di made things a lot more fun. Her gypsy-caravan vibe was a nice contrast to my event space that featured sports events, podcasts, and movies on a somewhat regular basis. My watch party for the Steelers-Texans game was a highlight during the fair. We started out with a small group of fans, some wearing Steelers gear. More people joined throughout the evening, and others drifted through and chatted for a while before departing. Geomite showed up wearing a number 77 Steelers jersey, and he proceeded to give the ladies in attendance black-and-gold cheerleading outfits. Amen, brother! Droopy & Orielle rode up on a scooter and promoted Droopy Radio before skadoodling away. "Skadoodling" is ...

An A.I. Guide for Beginners...

Writing effective prompts: The more detail you provide, the better. This holds true for images as well as written content. If you are having difficulty writing a good prompt, you can even ask A.I. to write a prompt for you.  In the following example, I asked Copilot A.I. to write a prompt describing a Norman-Rockwell style, all-American town. This was the result… Prompt: An idyllic All‑American small town rendered in the warm, nostalgic style of Norman Rockwell. A charming main street lined with brick storefronts, a classic diner with chrome trim, a barbershop with a striped pole, and a white-steepled church in the distance. Families stroll along the sidewalks, children ride bicycles, and neighbors chat on benches. Soft golden afternoon light casts long, gentle shadows, giving everything a warm, sentimental glow. The scene is filled with subtle storytelling details — a boy carrying a baseball glove, a mailman waving to a shopkeeper, a dog resting by a fire hydrant. Painterly brush...
