toddler’s-eye view

Going on a walk with a toddler is great because everything is so interesting to them. It’s refreshing to see joy in things I would normally walk past without noticing. Some interesting things we saw with BB this weekend:Birds. The park features a lot of free-growing plant areas, especially in and ar...

the life of a boy (park x2 edition)

woop weekend at brother's place. Special thanks to Dante for randomly being on vacation in Mexico on the weekend my parents were like “hey, wanna come visit?” At 22 months, BB is entering tantrum age, although we didn’t see that side of him this weekend. The park is a sticking point. See, the house’...

perfect process

HGR and newbie mined a bunch of silver on the mountain and then had to get it down the mountain and back home. It was too much to carry on their persons, so they made a PRO PLAN: (1) Build a longboat. (2) Store the silver in the longboat’s cargo hold. (3) Slide the longboat down the mountain. When i...

burnin’ up the dance floor

I entered chat on Saturday to find an ongoing debate about whether “flesh house” or “human house” was the proper term for a house made of human flesh. Luis suggested “human house” was better for plausible deniability (oh, it’s probably just a house for humans, that’s all). numbers said it was situat...

you’re up, dancers

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.” ...

the adventures of tax blob

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...

buying uber rides and a pencil

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 ...

scooting is ok

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 ...

suplexing an evil wizard

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...

avoidance strats

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...

bb jet lag

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...
