I remember in spring 2021 when Jim Harbaugh, like a lunatic, said the goal for the year was a Big Ten championship. That’s what started today. It’s an uphill battle but let’s get five! #GoBlue

Without pets to feel I betrayed them when the weather turns foul the closest I get to that kind of guilt trip is the PS5 yelling at me after a power outage. I did not want that to happen, lil bro, I promise. What's that? You already committed seppuku? Little OTT, but tbh I get it.

We have angered Helios; he turns his bright-shining chariot away from our lands. I foresee near four full weeks of fasts and sacrifices being needed to appease him.

I never stop being wowed by this album. Haunting and melancholic strains that manage to enthrall time and time again.
And above and beyond the composition, the recording quality is fantastic; one of the best-sounding piano albums I've ever listened to.

Had felt a reread of 1Q84 coming on, like feeling the first real days of winter approaching.
Today was finally the day to start and gods does it feel good. I can never retain in memory the full sensation of how completely Murakami is able to sweep me away.

Checking a colleague's flight status and feel like a weirdo. Clear misuse of a technology obviously specifically designed to monitor college football coaching searches.

What I see in my head is the judge doing a ring walk-- music thumping through the arena, pyrotechnics erupting at her sides, pounding her gloves together with anticipation-- as all those who love justice roar and applaud the champion's inevitable victory.

Listening to Carmen Maria Machado's _In the Dream House_ and it's so good. Memoir that reads alternately as sparkling poetry and horror story. Eager to get to her escape but simultaneously want so much time with her words. #BookSky

Okay, Chihiro Yamanaka, I was not familiar with your game. Great random Apple Music pick-- and a make or break first track with Maple Leaf Rag.
I don't know if it's legit but, as I once read an article about Cuphead using a cartoon style rooted in racism, that song always sounds that way to me.

That Walgreens made me aware of an Rx being in < 2 hours before close on Friday only to follow up by texting and calling me < 11am today (the next day they're open) is pretty obnoxious.

It’s still obscene how many teams are in the Big Ten and where so many are, but at least they kept the style of the conference commercial.
