Final long run before this Saturday’s marathon. It’s been a long season, and my legs are tired.

Indicators that it’s hockey season:

1. I yell at the television.
2. Mrs. Rocket sends me a text from elsewhere in the house.

Arrived just in time! Would have been cool if the shirt glowed like the new Kraken jersey, but ah well.

PSA: Gru is my ride or die. Never any hate here.

I’ve been enjoying the Strava sub preview, if only because it’s a break from the usual Garmin trash-talking.

It wasn’t the rain that slowed me down… it was picking my way through the piles of toads and rat snakes on the waterlogged trail at 5:30am with only a headlamp.

Lying in bed already unable to sleep, and Blitzkid drops a midnight release of the remaster of Terrifying Tales.

Constantly creating problems for people and then saying you’re the only one that can solve those problems doesn’t mean you’re a problem solver. It means you’re a problem. This is about running. This is not about running.

We saw the @dropkickmurphys.com at Grinders #KC this evening, and I dare say Mrs. Rocket got the photo of the night in the sea of middle fingers directed at the Trump+admin video montage during Bury the Bones.

Mrs. Rocket says that I look like someone’s exotic bird escaped.

Complimented a random dude in one of our local dinner spots on his Whalers hat, and suddenly I’m invited to join his hockey beer league of fellow Olds.

I played men’s roller derby for five years, so rough sports don’t particularly worry me; but I’ve been ice skating only once *ever*.

- Started my run way too late in the day, still in the woods when it got dark
- No headlamp
- Humid, so sweaty

And it was the best I felt physically on a run since last fall, before the tendinitis and respiratory illnesses happened. I loved running like the old me.

The Eric Andre “Why would they do this” meme, but it’s my stomach before ordering the spiciest enchiladas at our local Mexican spot, and then my stomach again on my run in the 90 degree heat an hour later.

Because that’s what happened.

I immediately came to search the latest for “kazoo break”, and I was not disappointed.

Finally won at Final Girl - Reiko vs Hans the Butcher. There’s a lot you can do to a bad guy when you bring an axe and a bear trap. He revived with a single heart on his token, and I was fortunate to still have a weak attack card to give him a tiny poke.

I’m an Old who only likes 80s-brand horror, so after finally getting Final Girl, I was pretty stoked.

Me on my first play-through: This guy doesn’t have a movement on his normal action to start. How does he even kill anyone?
*flips the Terror card*
Me: … Ah. Of course.

All the tropes are there.
