Well, who's this little cutie? Her name is Blossom and we welcomed her to the family yesterday. Beverly is showing Blossom the ropes of guinea pig life around here while politely asserting her dominance. Blossom already knows when she sees me walking by it's time to squeak for a treat!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AMAZING BEAUTIFUL PERFECT WIFE @amylopan.bsky.social !!!

It's Guinea Pig Appreciation Day! Here's a salute to all the sweet nuggets we've cared for over the years. We're actually looking to adopt more over the weekend. You know we had to say goodbye to Sonic recently; we don't want her companion Beverly to get lonely. Piggies always need a pal or two!

Paul Feig's "Ghostbusters" was released OTD 10 years ago. A movie everyone is totally normal about! Just kidding. Some people act like this movie killed their grandma. To learn more about the 2016 reboot and the Ghostbusters franchise in general, check out my book "A Convenient Parallel Dimension."

The most shocking TV moment? Red wedding? Sopranos finale? No, it has to be the 1990 Tales From The Crypt episode "Lower Berth" where a two-faced sideshow freak falls in love with an Egyptian mummy. He absconds with her to a cave, where they die together...but not before conceiving the Crypt-Keeper!

"I'm gonna live forever!"

Happy birthday to Dan Aykroyd, who nearly died when he fell through a skylight on his first day shooting the 1970s Canadian sitcom "Coming Up Rosie." This description of the incident comes from Rolling Stone, 2/22/79.

Devastated to tell you Sonic the Guinea Pig crossed the Rainbow Bridge today. The vet believes she was suffering from a neurological issue that was affecting her balance and her appetite. We will never forget this sweet, shy piggie who really could move like lightning. Fastest girl you ever saw.

"[It's] a comic opera that’s mean and anarchic and blissful. It has so many unpredictable spins that what’s missing doesn’t seem to matter much. The images sing." — Pauline Kael on "Batman," released otd in 1989

This week marks the 30th anniversary of Beck's "Odelay." When it came out, Rolling Stone said, "No other contemporary artist — except maybe the Beastie Boys — comes close to his ambitious sense of adventure." That's definitely how I felt about it. Still one of my faves.

nice try, you doctored that photo, here's the real one

"Ghostbusters II" was released otd 37 years ago — in the United States, anyway. It debuted in the Philippines the following month during a super typhoon. That didn't stop audiences from coming out, prompting the amazing Variety headline pictured.

Great news, sir. Our attempt to crossbreed Tony Danza with Curly Howard was a complete success.

Interesting to see in the "Tales From The Crypt" intro that the Cryptkeeper has a tire swing in his yard. Imagine walking by this house on a sunny day and seeing his bony ass swinging around.

Here’s another really underrated album, “Cast of Thousands” by the Adverts. Ripping up the punk rule book as it was being written. Unusual, affecting. Jimbob gives it five stars!

Listen to the fuckin' robots!

Rudy Giuliani rushed to hospital in critical condition

Discovered when I wrote a book about the Ghostbusters movies. The book is called "A Convenient Parallel Dimension: How Ghostbusters Slimed Us Forever."

Our girls, Sonic and Beverly.

Not sure why it took until At Budokan for Cheap Trick to get popular because their first album is pretty much straight bangers! In the words of Socrates, people are fucked! This has been another dispatch from Big Jim’s Record Bonanza.

I am continually surprised by the number of people I meet who have never heard of "Moment by Moment," the 1978 drama where Lily Tomlin and John Travolta play star-crossed lovers. It's my favorite "must be seen to be believed" film.
