Today I'm moving back to Duluth. The city of fog, barber shops and sandwiches. And in three days I'll be beginning my sophomore year of college. And you may be thinking "That's very exciting. I bet, given all I know about John, that he's feeling excited, prepared, and not the least bit overwhelmed. And at … Continue reading Something is Happening
Nothing is Happening
Today’s my day off! I could try and rope someone into taking me to Grand Marais, but I’d much rather sit around and do nothing. But I also wanted to write a blog post. And since I’m doing nothing, I’m going to write about nothing. Real stream of consciousness shit. Completely different from my other … Continue reading Nothing is Happening
John’s Review of Taika Waititi’s Potentially Nonsensical Thor 4
Despite working at a summer camp with limited access to the internet, I yet again managed to spoil the ending of this movie for myself. But some people are smart and don’t do that. So, as always, I will clearly mark when I start spoiling the movie. Thor: Love and Thunder stars Christopher Hemsworth, Natalie … Continue reading John’s Review of Taika Waititi’s Potentially Nonsensical Thor 4
A Modern Fairy Tale
I wanted to start writing short stupid stories in different formats. And this week I decided to write my own fairy tale. It’s not like we have any good new fairy tales, right?

Canoeing Outside My Comfort Zone
For many reasons that don't really make sense, I chose to spend my summer working at a summer camp that sends campers out on canoe portaging trips in the Boundary Waters.

About three months ago I decided that the best way to break into Hollywood was to tell them my ideas directly. That way they could come to me and option all my excellent movie ideas. But for some reason, nobody ever contacted me about any of my pitches. I've thought long and hard about why … Continue reading More of John’s Movie Pitches!
I Tried To Write A Song
I'm not the first person to point out how unrealistic some songs can be. You could go on Spotify right now and listen to over a thousand different songs about getting drunk and partying and having the best day of your life. Now I've never gotten drunk myself, but from what I've heard from people … Continue reading I Tried To Write A Song
Stuck In An Elevator
A few months ago I was at work during an extremely short campus-wide power outage. It was probably about five seconds long. But I kept saying to everyone how I wished I had been in the elevator when it happened. How that would be such a great story to have. Everyone looked at me like … Continue reading Stuck In An Elevator

John’s Review of Doctor Strange’s Fun Time Multiverse Adventure
Just like with No Way Home, I managed to spoil like 90% of this before I saw it. But for those of you who didn't and have been avoiding the incredibly spoilery promotional material, I will be sure to mark when I dip into spoilers.
