Got to trivia early so I could get a seat and the guy next to me is explaining how to write a 5 paragraph essay to the bartender whose first language is not English but she's getting a degree at an English speaking institution.
It is delightful. He's doing such a good job they don't even need me.

Plus of Washington being in the B1G is that I can watch all the games. I will never miss PAC12 Networks.
Minus is they're all on Fox Networks and so I have to watch so many commercials that make me want to tear my hair out.

You know you're a truly dedicated nerd when you're sitting in a bar full of laughing, talking people playing trivia all by yourself and dreading the moment when one of those people decides you need to be included.

I've got a 4 hour drive ahead of me tonight and I need a new audiobook. Any recommendations of something you've loved recently?
I tend to like interesting magic systems, grumpy/sunshine romances, and nonfiction on niche/weird/out of the way topics.

You know, GameDay being at Oregon really frees up a lot of my time on Saturday mornings. Actually really enjoy having a built in excuse to not pay attention to ESPN's garbage.

I had made my peace with the Phillies losing this series. The Dodgers are a brutal draw and they played it close the whole way. No shame in losing.
I was, however, hoping for that loss to come in a style that wouldn't make Phillies fans act like crazy people all winter.

I need you all to know I have spent this whole game upside down on the couch because the Phillies play better when I do that.
Don't ask me to explain. It's playoff baseball.

Even if this game is sort of painful from a shooting-ourselves-in-the-foot perspective at least the Seattle B roll continues to be unmatched.

Sometimes being a Phillies fan is actually fun and I sometimes forget that when things are stressful and we're losing to the Marlins.

You can tell I've been listening to the same ads on Phillies radio all season when I start interrogating them.

Hello Friends. If you have sent me an email or asked a question or requested a book sometime over the last... 3ish weeks... and I haven't gotten back to you yet, please follow up.
It's fall publishing and my head is barely above water. I am the biggest mess and see no end to this before November.
