Monday Morning Commute: We are all Placeholders
in space | inkaxis
We are all placeholders, man. Temporary installments in a Temporary Universe. Brief iterations, brief organizations of atoms-molecules-matter, and we will all be gone before we know it. That’s fine, that’s cool, that’s whatever. It’s gotta be because it is. No complaints here.
While we’re here, while the Aflame Blue Globe is here, while the Universe is still hurtling towards Heat Death, why don’t we hang out, folks?
Hang out, here, in Monday Morning Commute. The weekly column where all of us Placeholders get together and share what we’re excited for during a given week.
What comic book is coming out that you’re sweating? What movie is dropping that you’re anticipating? What fetish website is getting your hard earned bucks and/or meagerly administered strokes? Sharing is caring, so show that you shant neglect me in the comments section.

Reviewing: Don’t Breathe.
Bateman and I saw it on Friday. A *good* not *great* horror-thriller.
The conceit is fun, it’s been a boring summer. Go see it.

I can’t believe I’ve only completed this game like seventeen times.

Aiming to pick up a couple of quick modifications for my study.

Help me convince her, folks.
Help me.

Maintaining: Reading Fear and Loathing On The Campaign Trail ’72.
Slowly. Surely. I skip down the nightmare path with Hunter.

That’s it for me this week, fellow Placeholders. How about you?
