Ah man, there's almost a glimmer of light in Ryan Seacrest's eyes, he really does love this, or maybe just sees the finish line.

Wife and I did our partying last night, so we're hanging in tonight with the kids. Making sushi, listening to D'Angelo. Gonna play some games and eat and have a martini.
But *you* have fun out there tonight, y'all. Ya don't gotta be "safe," but do come home in one piece.
Happy New Year!

I've gotten back into the habit of reading these past few years, and it's been really gratifying seeing the list of books I've put away grow every year. I fell short of my pre-year goal of averaging a book a week, but I still read 42 books this year, including some monsters (hello, Middlemarch!).

I wouldn't call this my "favorite music video," but I clearly remember seeing this on 120 Minutes and realizing there was a whole world of music out there that didn't sound like what the radio was feeding me, and if it was on MTV it was maybe gonna break through.

Anthony Rendon was one of the players most directly responsible for the Nats winning the World Series in '19; he was a joy to watch play here. It's amazing knowing in '25 that no matter who we re-signed between Strasburg or Rendon was a team just lighting $250 million on fire.

Analysis | Anthony Rendon may finally be what he has long sought: A former MLB player
The Angels and the former Nationals star worked out a mutually satisfactory end to a seven-year, $245 million contract that will go down as one of the worst in MLB history.

I was joking Phish would do a "Take the A Train" gag and now Trey's dropping Metro card ads and people are finding other train stuff and I'm gonna look stupid prescient by total accident if that happens.

Just made a reference to Snoopy's brother Spike and no one had a clue what I was talking about - damn near saw a tumbleweed blow by like in a cartoon featuring Snoopy's brother Spike.

My son is showing off his deep ornithological knowledge by pointing at every bird and saying, "birdie."
To his (I think) credit, he is now doing legitimately impressive bird calls in an aviary.
Father-in-law just told a 20 minute story with no discernible beginning or middle and ended with, "and it turns out it was Rocky Bleier standing in the field!" as the big pay off and I guess that's an old Steeler ugh kill me now.

My in-laws can tell you literally anything you'd want to know and much you would not about Steelers football, Pitt football, local Pittsburgh high school athletes, Penguins hockey, and Pirates baseball and absolutely nothing about any other person on any other sports team ever.
