Christmas hasn't been the same since i noticed Santa has the same handwriting as my wife

being a grandparent must really suck when your most annoying grandchild sits next to you at the family reunion and won't stop talking to you for 45 minutes

Who up on they ginger snap grindset! Hollup I'm going ginger snap mode!

It is almost alarming to be able to have a full normal conversation at a normal volume and still listen to music man

Riding a slick, brand-new Greyhound bus to family Christmas, straight off the factory line with 30 miles on the odo. The Lord takes but also gives

Behold, my latest folly:

mysterious clicking sound on my bicycle that doesn't seem rythmic. problem for new year me

Finally kicked for bone conducting headphones. Been really wary of headphones on the bike because I like having peripheral audio. These things are crazy. Can listen to music and just straight up hear things like normal. Audio quality is great too

not to whine but it feels pretty asinine to me that you have to fill out a customs form to mail to an APO

QUESTION: What Do You Gift The Man Who Has Everything ? ANSWER: delicius ham s andwich

never gets old

Becoming a salted butter believer these days. Been buying fancy salted butter on occasion and just eating it by itself on good bread for meals and really rocking with that

the value proposition of a double cheeseburger over a single cheeseburger is just not doing it for me to be honest with you. a lot of diminishing returns going on with each patty added in my opinion

Said this before but not on this medium, so to go on the record: over the shoulder cycling bibs are an awesome item of clothing to wear if you are the type of person who likes to take all of your clothes off every time you have to take a shit

Went out on some errands last night, and about as soon as I left my door watched somebody in a CRV trying to parallel park absolutely crunch the shit out of one of my neighbor's bumpers, panic, and then speed off. And all I could do was say "damn that's nasty as hell" and it about made my day

They're talking about inventing a videogame for somebody who has five or six friends instead of just four

folks let's just say that i think i nailed my wife's christmas gift this year

i guess we really are getting a thaw, because i've been listening to ice sheets slide off my house all day

everybody wish my MIL a MASSIVE GINA W for hitting her goal of 1,600 miles on the bike this year

My executive decision is that recipes that distinguish different quantities of kosher salt whether using Siamond Crystal or Morton are Annoying and Bull Shitte

Really charming moment I had visiting my grandfather this weekend was when I shared my silly little side-project of making a cookbook of all the recipes I have enjoyed making, after which his eyes lit up and he ran over to his pantry to pull out 8 binders in which he had done the exact same thing

love too brandish a u-lock at 7:15am

getting to the point that not knowing SQL and R feels like it's getting in the way of myself but i really do not want to Do That

too hot outside

we got a pet camera a few years ago that i mostly use to check to make sure that i remembered to shut the front door when i get anxious. great investment and has saved me a great deal of meaningless trips home

current state of mind update: a few weeks ago i went to bed thinking to myself, "maybe i should century the 606. that's reasonable. i know a guy who did that"

a few months ago my upstairs neighbor's A/C sprung a leak that dribbled into our furnace room. nothing really damaged and they fixed it, so nothing really to be terribly upset about. except the water leaked all over my tool case and now they're all rusty as fuck and i'm pretty annoyed about that

being home is low-key goated when driving a rental car through a snowstorm is NOT!!! the vibe

encountering an unplanned Holiday Train sighting in the wild is so funny. i don't think a coffee would have woken me up more

Some of the bravest people in America are currently wearing 4-inch heels and pencil skirts in 6 inches of snow. And for those troops I stand and salute

Hey man we're all taking shots from the cup of human kindness later if you want to join

Love being a ball state alum. Sometimes I'll be in a room with Hoosiers and Boilermakers arguing while I sit in the corner and eat glue

Riding the bus is low-key goated when getting to your destination in a timely and economical manner is the vibe

(watching Miss Piggy in the Muppet Show) i could fix her

(Picking up a friend) oh hey sorry that’s just the skull of st Thomas aquinas. You can throw it in the back

deviated on my way home to see how A Single PBL was doing, and my unsurprising and unscientific conclusion is that if your PBL got plowed it's probably mostly fine, but if your PBL did Not get plowed, this thaw wasn't enough it is probably still Doo Doo Dookie Shit from a Butt Ass

Yes what i have always wanted is to read a wordy LLM AI text summary of the weather forecast that is two paragraphs long, instead of just seeing the temperature and conditions by the hour

need to close zillow for my emotional wellbeing

they're calling him "Mr. Three Cups Of Coffee"

thank you for giving me one 12 hour period with temps above freezing

Yeah I'm into gaming and transit. I love Metravanias

i feel so dumb because while i've still biked a lot; pretty much as much as i did last year, my second-highest annual mileage, i still have a voice in the back of my head screeching "NUMBER SHOULD BE HIGHER LAZYASS"

(ahem) guy who thinks it will be cold forever now

every time i see a dibs on the street i feel such a wave of relief that that is Not My Problem

7 eleven next to my office is closing, which is either tragic or terrific news for my ham sandwich intake, depending on your perspective

had a vivid dream last night that i got a job in Detroit & had to move. was extremely bummed abt it. new boss kept gassing me up "you're exactly the type we need here... you think the right way" and i was mad because 1) only an idiot would think so & 2) i wanted them to fire me so i could stay here
