TIL that Emma Stone was in an episode of Malcolm in the Middle.

Amazon Prime day deals, what do I buy? Underwear and running socks that are both priced $10 cheaper than usual, and 2 salad to go bowls. Yeah, that's the good stuff.

@susanarendt.bsky.social happy bday, Susan! I hope you have a wonderful day!

I got my first tiny injury punching a bag! The tiniest of cuts on two knuckles. It's fun, and exhilarating. I highly recommend using a punching bag, but please be careful. I'm still learning, taking it slow. Glad I've trained myself to shadowbox with both hands being dominant too!

I had a decision to make after playing a 60+ hour game. Mina or Silksong. I've chosen Silksong, and I hate that I waited until now to play it. The controls, environment, mystery, everything oozes with care and love by a stellar development team. This is going to be fun!

I've tried three different foods from Bucky's. Each one was... Just fine? Overpriced for the quality. At least I know this place is most definitely not worth it. Nice bathrooms at least.

East Texas Private Christian High School Graduation. Proud of my youngest niece. But man, does this side of Texas have weird traditions. Almost cult like.

Over 3 miles on a treadmill is a lot of time. This is how I spent my lunch.

Yo, shout-out to all those mothers out there. Both kid, dog, cat mom related, hell it can be lizard, python, AI kid, whatever. You rock, and have yourself a good ass day!

Jawbreaker is a fun movie. The soundtrack is bumpin' too. Classic.

The Drawing of Three is way better than The Gunslinger. I was so naive back when I read these books over 15 years ago. This refreshing audiobook of the series is just what I need. Onto the Wastelands next!

Why waste using a plate, when you can use a dipping sauce apparatus.

Girl dinner anyone?

Stair climbers are weird. It's hard to actually visualize how many flights you climb and the speed at which you do them. Worked out today and did 40 floors in 12ish minutes. The machine should tell you a building you recognize as compared to the amount of floor climbed.

I finished the Dark Tower series in the early 2010s, this is when I barely read shit since college was tough. I'm listening to the audiobooks on Book 2. The speed at which the drawing of #2 character was insanely fast compared to #1, which is crazy. I think I remember why, but night/day difference.

Jackie Chan's Who Am I? is one of my top two favorite movies he's done (Drunken Master is the other). Fun fact I found out today, costar was literally just a journalist and Jackie liked her, told her to try out, got the part, then never acted again. Unfortunately, the music does not age well.

Marathon is a horror game when playing solo... Near an exfil site... Hear someone call for exfil... Set up for a possible kill on them when exfil almost arrives... Miss your explosion, knife them to knockdown... And both people exfil safe.

Marathon is pretty good.

@piratehearts.com I'm just going to leave this here, for no apparent reason: store.steampowered.com/app/3216340/...

The older you get, the better Ritz crackers taste. However, if the box is seasoned poorly, it's one of the driest, nastiest things ever.

Wonderful Australian Open final! I haven't watched tennis in years, but I'm hoping to change that with this tournament. Carlos is one generational talent that I plan on rooting for!

@nanelsonart.bsky.social hey! Sorry it took so long to frame, looks wonderful!

TIL Malcolm in the Middle edition, Francis appendix burst! Fun fact about me, my appendix burst on the first day of Kindergarten. Worst pain I've ever had in my life. I feel so seen! Thank you, television!

Thought of the day: if you are a Beckhead (a fan of Beck), you must be living pretty good. This dude releases so much unique music. I dig a majority of it too, and I don't listen to Beck all that often. If a new Beck album comes out, it's always worth a listen.

TIL Joel McKinnon Miller, Scully from Brooklyn 99, played a cop in an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. Today, I saw the episode where Scully and Hitchcock improvise a fight by punching each other in the dick. Today's episode of Malcolm, Joel got punched in the dick by Reese. Crazy coincidence!!!

@nanelsonart.bsky.social LOOK AT THIS DOPE! haha

I tried out that new gatcha Endfield game. I see potential, but there is too much so I quit. The currency, different upgrades, it was all too complicated for my brain to comprehend. And I didn't even get to the base building either. Oh well, back to a real game: Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

I have a new Commander deck based on Cid from Final Fantasy. I had a couple of Proxies I needed to make.

Amadeus is better than nearly every movie ever made. Watch it.

I worked on a book project that is many years old. It doesn't have much, but there are ideas. I read the first few pages, and boy were they rough. In an hour, I only rewrote maybe a page or two. It needs a lot of work. Hopefully, I can continue to make something of this. I've missed writing.

TIL that Young Shawn in Psych is played by Skyler Gisondo, aka Gideon Gemstone.

First time using my blender! Easily, better than store bought salsa verde! 4 Tomatillos, half a Jalapeno, half a Serrano pepper, a quarter of a Shallot, 2 Garlic cloves, handful of Cilantro, salt and pepper.

@piratehearts.com @dphrygian.com I'm just going to leave this here for the bday bois (also, HAPPY BDAY TO MY FAVORITE TWINS): youtu.be/_rRHxetI_Rk?...

@piratehearts.com I know you love the Omikron. If you need a break from GDQ, check out @eurothug4000.bsky.social first playthrough going on right now!

Photo dump from Astro Bot!

Biggest change in 2025: reading. I went from barely reading anything the last 14 years to finishing 20 books in 2025. I've never read this much in a given period of time. It would have been more, but I'm finishing up The Way of Kings GrapicAudio book right now. Favorite book: Project Hail Mary.

Don't you love it when most of your gifts at Christmas are ceramic mugs, dipping sauce ceramics, a Pyrex measuring cup, thin measuring spoons and a glass Oster blender (700 watts). I'm getting old, and currently single if you can't tell.

@nanelsonart.bsky.social I know you just started a tough game, and I know you love Fire Emblem. However, I need to recommend a Fire Emblem style of game created by an amazing team, you may like the art style too. Unicorn Overlord. I finally have time to play it, and it's literally Fire Emblem haha.

@pabastien.bsky.social I think you may recognize this drawing; best reaction I've ever had of it too www.twitch.tv/penta/clip/P...

After finishing Death Stranding 2, I needed a break from the chaotic world. Astro Bot is phenomenal. A must play. Even though it takes way too long to unlock Photo mode. Prepare for more photos if I can make them as snarky as this.

It took many months, and it's finally done. Rewatched King of the Hill so I could watch the new season. I'm pleasantly surprised how good the new season is. I wouldn't call it the best season, but it's a solid start. Overall, 8.5 for King of the Hill as a show.

Dutch Bros blows 151 Coffee out of the French press. That is all.

Taskmaster Series 20 is easily in the top-5 from the series. The cast were wonderful who meshed well immediately. Great tasks overall, every episode felt solid. Highly recommend.

The University of North Texas broke the top 25 in college football! I'm so proud :')

I'm an ex-high school tennis player. I played baseball most of my life, and instantly switched to tennis. Doing that, I focused on one-handed backhand because two-hands were new at the time. Cut to 2025, I played Pickleball today for the first time, and it was hella fun!

Episode 1 of Pluribus down. Incredible opener. I'm very intrigued to see where this goes. Old school X-Files Vince is back!

@matttherobotguy.bsky.social I know you like retro stuff, and just this week, Digital Foundry launched their new Retro Gaming podcast. Check it out when you have a chance! They dabble in PS2 for their first episode.

Here are a couple new ones. I think the album cover is pretty great.

The Toxic Avenger (@toxavanger.bsky.social) released a new album. This is not a drill! In case you need a quick refresher, he has a couple hits from the video game Furi. Go freshen up, and jam to Inframonde!

I just finished my 14th book this year. I'm not sure I've read 14 books in my life before this year, for fun of course. Next, my first nonfiction book to try out.
