It’s time for the new raid tier! Not sure what we’re calling this one. Last tier was the AAC Lightweight M1-M4, so everyone called them M1-M4. This tier…is the AAC Cruiserweight M1-M4. “I feel so vindicated right now,” said HGR. “I definitely said this was gonna happen if people called them M1-M4.” ...
It’s that time again. There’s a knock on the door. It’s tax blob. “Can I have your taxes?” she says, holding out her hat. “Oh, sure,” I say, pulling out my wallet. “How much do I owe?” “I dunno,” she says. There’s an awkward silence. “Well, uh, figure it out,” she says, and she bounces off. * * * T...
It’s that time again: roommate has an appointment, so we’re throwing a bunch of money at Uber. The Uber app is obnoxiously spammy (old-man-yells-at-cloud.jpg). I go months without needing an Uber ride. Spamming me with multiple notifs a day will not make me need more rides. And a lot of the ads are ...
Saw a sign at the station saying NO SCOOTERING. I wondered for a moment if that’s the correct verb. Like, we already have a verb “scooting” that is more concise and cuter. Do we really need another verb? But then I realized that apparently scooting is allowed at the station, you just can’t do it on ...
I slept poorly last night. I went to bed at around 12:50 am, late for an office night but an hour earlier than usual. It took me forever to fall asleep. Then I woke at 4 am to use the restroom and it took me forever to fall back asleep. Then I had a dream about being late to the weekly meeting. It w...
Sometimes I avoid a task forever and then it takes like five minutes and I’m like “wow, what was all the fuss about?” Sadly, this is not one of those times. I’m avoiding my current project because I know it’s going to be obnoxious and take forever. I had a stress dream about it Saturday night. In th...
As usual, I didn’t sleep that well at brother’s house. For one thing, they keep their house very warm, which is nice and cozy during the day, but I like to have something covering me when I sleep and it gets too hot. Additionally, my sleeping spot is the living room couch. I’m fine sleeping on the c...
We are so free and easy without raid that I’m spending a random weekend with family. Mom and Dad picked me up Friday afternoon. We spent the weekend at brother’s house, then drove down to parents' house on Sunday (and I got a haircut). I’m working remote on Monday and will return home in the evening...
Finally a curry/stew Snorlax! This is the first one since I laid out my meal plans in late January (and I’ve already adjusted the plan from mushroom chowder to mushroom curry). Now, just like Claude, I’ve gotta clean up my context and update my files. Italicized pokemon are in the zone “normally”; b...
Consumer confidence in Walmart is at an all-time low. I’m the consumer. Delivery has been reliable over the past couple years, but in the last month it’s suddenly become sketch. It started in early February when I got a few bags of groceries I didn’t order. Someone else’s turkey burgers and Lean Cu...
I am unmoored from time and space, drifting through the void. Most of my usual weekly landmarks are gone: No raid last weekend because Dante was away. No team meeting this week and we’re working full remote. You’d think this would be good because it gives me back so much time. I save three hours fro...
My Fitbit has been on the way out since last Labor Day, when the connection between the band and the watch face broke. I could temporarily fix it by jamming it back together, but any pressure on the band could cause it to pop back off, e.g., putting on a coat, opening a door while wearing a coat (th...
