That same wife: I was on BlueSky and I saw a post about the show we just watched, and I was like “Yeah! That’s what I said!” It was your post.
Episode 2 of #Plur1bus in the books.
Wife: What the ****? That’s it?!
Me: That’s it until next week.
Wife: I wanted another episode!
Me: This is what it’s like watching shows in progress and not just binging them after they’re done.
Wife: This sucks!

My manager: How are you doing today?
Me: Doing well. Of course, if you’d asked me at 2:30 this morning, I would have a far different answer. Plus several questions about why you were in my bathroom.

Grats to @maro254.bsky.social on 30 years as #WotCstaff. One of my favorite colleagues who has taught me a lot about the power of laughter, passion, dedication, lists and the Oxford comma. Hope you’re around for my 30th and beyond.

You ever wake up and have a song pop into your head, even though you haven't heard that song in a while? Today's earworm is Love Yourself by Justin Bieber. Maybe because I called my mother-in-law yesterday to thank her for my birthday present?

No matter where I go, I feel like my cats are with me. Specifically, "their hair" and "in my eye."

I actually fell asleep for innings 2 through 7 so I’m good for a while. Keep going.

I’ve always been able to make something uncool, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gained the ability to make something uncool with greater speed. I wish I’d discovered this 6, 7 years ago.

Finished my first week on a new medication and am down 10 pounds. At this rate, I will cease to exist around next March, so if you need anything, let me know. (Everything’s fine. There’s a little side effect curve.)

A scientific advancement I appreciated today: When I was a kid, it felt like my brothers and I had about 25 minutes to drink a new gallon of milk before it expired. I just bought a gallon of milk with an expiration date in January. (Yes, I know expiration dates are varying amounts of real.)

Going through my Facebook memories for my birthday. There's a pretty good original joke about getting old in there... from 14 years ago.

So true. And it’s just a lot of fun. Shoutout @upimprov.bsky.social if you’re in the Seattle area. Great classes for all experience levels.
For those that create content I strongly recommend taking an improv class or two. Even if you aren’t funny (which is a talent and not a skill that you can learn) you will benefit immensely in knowing how to engage with an audience better!

If it’s tied in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded, I think you walk Ohtani so you only lose by 1.

I’m told it’s the 8-year anniversary of Star Trek’s first F-bomb. I feel safe in telling you this line is not in #MTGxStarTrek. And if I wasn’t supposed to tell you that, well, double dumbass on me. #WotCstaff
