Strava has started sending me reminders to start activities, Duolingo style. I feel like I should be concerned.

Since I got back into running, I’ve been sleeping better, had more energy, my back hasn’t hurt as much, and as you can see, I’m well on my way to being completely insufferable.

The good of summer: stay outside reading until it gets dark and the fireflies come out.
The bad of summer: the fireflies were apparently obligated to bring their shitty cousins, the mosquitoes.

I am temporarily stepping into the DM’s chair in my longest running D&D group. I’ve homebrewed a Shakespeare themed murder mystery and it is 100% an excuse to make as many puns based on his works as possible.

For those wanting to place bets on the #KentuckyDerby, I have it on good authority that it’ll come down to one horsy running in a circle slightly faster than several other horsies. I’ll take a 5% commission from your winnings with that info.

Weather is finally looking stable, so I finished weeding my herb garden and adding new soil. The question is, this late in the year, do I try planting from seed or just get stuff from the farmers market and put it in the ground?

We are no longer imposing tariffs on penguins. Much to the relief of my favorite childhood stuffed animal.

I have bought a LOT of books in the last two days. So, when the apocalypse happens, my survival bunker will have the best library.

I miss the days when I thought The Phantom Menace opening with the "taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems" was a boring, lame way to lead into a galactic war against fascism.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

It’s my birthday party, most of my friends flaked on me, and I’m making everyone who showed up watch the original Godzilla movie with me. Am I the problem?

It’s my birthday week. Which will entail very little until the weekend and nobody is expected to do anything for it. But I WILL be acting just slightly entitled about it. As a treat to me.

Awfully rude that I can’t spend the entirety of my birthday week sitting on the porch reading in nice weather.

Can’t believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.

Last year some of my friends started what we decided would be an annual cooking competition, which I won (theme was enchiladas, I did shrimp in a savory cream sauce). I have my recipe for this year (theme is curry) and I’m far more antsy to make sure I retain my title than is necessary.

2025 is honestly a terrible year already and I am compensating for it by going to more conventions and concerts. Society may be crumbling but the @dropkickmurphys.com are still there for me.
