My biggest growth arc in 2025 has been learning to be okay with being a person who drinks black decaf coffee.

Just asked Carmen if she thought the sleep token song Caramel would be better if it was called Bechamel and she nearly crashed the car from laughing so hard :(

Saying “in the parlance of the youth” to refer to internet lingo I don’t know is one of the funniest things I do on a regular basis, but no one seems to agree with me.

Really spoiled on good food this weekend.
Made a pan sauce tonight that was so good I accidentally devoured my steak before getting myself some asparagus

Watching my annual football game today.

@carmparens.bsky.social is spoiling me today, a day with no particular significance. Not that I’m complaining.

Couple posts short of hitting my new years resolution quota from a couple years ago.

Been playing league with Carmen, who is just learning. Today I told her “btw as an adc you do most of your champ damage with your right click” and then the next two games she killed tons of people.

Threeish years later, my lattes have finally hit the illustrious bar of “better than starbucks” according to my wife. Been nice having the time to make her several this break!
December 27, 2024 at 3:35 PM
Made the wife a latte, myself an americano, and brought up coffee hour with a couple of cookies for us to enjoy in bed.

20 minutes later, I squandered all that good will after she showed me her tweet, I said it was great, she asked if I rtd it, and I said “I would never”

Buying a mattress. Talking to salesperson, signing things, nodding knowingly at return policies and delivery dates, etc.

Meanwhile, Carmen is attempting to unhook the zipper of my jacket from my wallet, which I somehow got hooked together.

I wish I had thought to take the jacket off.

For those wondering, 31 was the final number of hair ties found under the couch after it got loaded into the truck.

I would set the line for ones I’m responsible for at 30.5.

Hey Jadine! Great post!

Packing for a move, decluttering. Faced with hard decisions like: do i want my 2nd place trophy from 6th grade mathcounts? On one hand, no, and also I won’t in 20 years.

On the other hand, it does contain atoms, which may be useful someday.

Celebrated gratitude today rather then yesterday. Incredible food, incredible people.

Catching up on my correspondence over the holiday, but it’s just me typing “Hey! Sorry I <haven’t responded/been quiet>, just’ve been really busy lately. How are <you/ya’ll?>” to text threads and group chats, then silencing all notifications.

Arcane got me to play TFT for the first time since set 1. Enjoying it a good deal - it’s unmistakably the same game, but so, so many iteration loops more polished. Congrats to @shawnelizabeth.bsky.social and everyone else who worked on the set!
November 26, 2024 at 7:58 AM
Finished Arcane.

Arcane season 2 ep 4-6 was great!

It gives me great joy to say I did not have to be at an airport today and thus see no need to ask for questions.
November 15, 2024 at 11:57 PM
Spending a second day in a row at the airport, now that my east coast errands are done. Any more questions, comments, anything to make the hours pass?
November 14, 2024 at 5:18 PM
First day on a new social media app AND I’m stuck in an airport. Lucky me. Anyone have questions, as is traditional for this scenario, or are we too early for that?
