Birthday is today. It feels weird. Lots of people wishing me happy birthday, which reminds me that I'm lucky to live the life I do. But I still feel melancholy. As usual Scrubs is there for me.

I been re watching Teen Titans Go and it's such a weird show. One episode is 15 min of them yelling waffles, then the next one has them existing Nixon and the gold standard.

Had to drop 800 dollars getting my car electrical system reset and a new key yesterday (it's a whole story). Last week I paid 400 bc it got towed. I try to stay grateful that these expenses don't keep me from paying rent or anything like that but this is how I feel this morning.

Finally got around to beating #cairn . What a game, what an ending. Easily in my top 5 games ever. I don't think I'll ever attempt a free solo run but def will return to try some alternate paths/routes eventually.

Got my Shockz stolen at yoga this morning. It was at a brewery, I had finished my run earlier so I still had them with me. Set them down when we finished with some of my other stuff and was helping move tables back into the space. Realized they were gone later. So fucking pissed at myself

What the fuck are we even doing here? A 6 year old console is now 150 dollars now expensive than launch. The slightly upgraded version is almost 1k. Pray that your launch console doesn't break down. Who will even be able to afford a PS6?

New episode of JJK went insanely hard. Spent all the money, just 28 min of firework factory. Those poor animators. #jjk #jujutsujaisen

Crimson Desert seems like a game that will be a great pick up on sale

Peak performance in action. Raced a 5k over the weekend and things kinda fell apart. Instead of getting frustrated I decided to have fun, grabbed a beer in the last kind that was offered by someone in the crowd and ended up with one of my favorite #running pictures

Did some karaoke tonight. I'm convinced, more than ever, that Rock Band parties would heal the world.

When on a first date yesterday, had a good time but at the end she preferred if we stayed friends. Bummed but I appreciated the honesty . At the end this was still a good experience, just two adults navigating dating in a respectful way and I did enjoy our brief time.

The Venn diagram of people who both think Peggy Hill from King of the Hill and Louis from Malcolm in the Middle are amazing characters is a full circle and I'm in the middle of it. I'll even go further and say the ending of Mitm is PERFECT

Sometimes I #rockclimb in real life, not most videogames. Gym finally updated the arch route. Really fun, crux got me but I think I can send it next time.

#cairn will probably end up one of my to 5 games ever. Absolutely continue to love it. Every time I get so frustrated from falling off a wall that I turn it off, I eventually return to it Piecing a climb together just feels so fall satisfying. And seeing your entire progress is so cool.

I been chasing the "going back home and reading the manual of the videogame your parents just bought you " feeling for most of my adult life.

Ted Season 2 is once again shockingly great. I think their D&D episode may top Community's.

I been playing #cairn still, loving it, but I got to the Peril wall last week and just got stuck. Could not make progress. I finally started piecing together a route that worked and last night finally cleared it. I get Souls-like now.

It's the Internet so I'm not surprised but tonight I learned there's shipping wars in the Resident Evil fan community about who Leon should be with. I cannot think of a more sexless, non romantic game.

One of the best feeling in a race is passing people in the back half of it. Not because I was glad that they are struggling, but because it meant that my training strategy had paid off. Really proud of my consistency At least until mile 27. Still gotta work on those last 5 miles. #running

Relaxing with Heath Ledger best movie. Also JGL top 3.

#cowtownmarathon ultra done! Big PR, almost 30 min from my first one. Those last 5 miles absolutely destroyed me though. Gotta work on better pacing the 50k. Still got enough to take 3rd in AG! Plus side, I'll take a 3:36 marathon time on a tough course with tough weather anytime. #running

Medals aren't that important to me, unless I'm doing a race specifically for a cool medal, but even with that is hard not to be disappointed with these medals. Such dinky medals for what is a pretty big ( and expensive)race. Don't get me started on the shirts.... #running

Forecast for weekends 50k looking rough. Normally I doing carry hydration, just rely on the aid stations, but I'm planning on carrying a water bottle and electrolyte tablets to be safe. Original goal was 4:15ish but I go for 4:30 to be safe #running #cowtownmarathon

I'm not upset by people having preferences in dating as we all do, and you're attracted to what you're atracted to, but it's a bummer to often be reminded how important having hair is to a lot of people. I done a lot of work on myself but I can't replace the hair. Always feels it holds me back.

I have a race this Sunday which means that the weekend will be all rest and just staying at home. And RE9 releases on Friday.......

I just played the Pragmata demo and it sold me on the game. What a cool concept.

Just told my 10yo daughter about #philspencer. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#philkanda forever" -- which is the sort of pop culture cross-over that I can celebrate.

Mewgenics is a game which when talking about out loud you really gotta make sure to emphasize that first syllable. Got some looks when I was talking about it with a friend from other non gaming friends.

Hoping back on here to try to talk more about games. Absolutely loving #Cairn Never clicked with Souls Likes but now I get it. Took me a bunch of failed attempts to get through this route (I really wanted that doll piece) but when I finally got to a save spot it feel like such an accomplishment

Let's talk about TRUE underrated shows. None of this "community" or "arrested development". Even "Better off Ted" has gotten plenty of love after it went off air. For me its Grand Crew, a show that deserved way more seasons and Stumble, a show that hopefully gets more seasons. #tvshows #sitcoms

Been trying to balance my constant need for approval and validation with my role as a group organizer lately. I think when I make leading my run club look effortlessly people don't realize the effort that it actually takes. But also I shouldn't expect constant thank yous or external validation

15 min PR!! I went from thinking that I may not even run this morning as I was so sick yesterday to cracking sub 3:30 (barely at 3:29). Can't describe how proud I am right now. #running #marathon

Last night we had a huge showing for my run club. It always brings me joy to realize that I have had a hand in creating a community for people. First with my meetup group and now with this running group. (We were doing shoe decorating for our upcoming race)

Spider-Man essence captured in one page. He'll get beat done and get to again.

I was today years old when I learned that Panda Express created orange chicken.

Get you a friend who will suggest an impromptu photo shoot so you can have a new dating profile picture..

Tonight's session: "I'm going to try my project" "Do you want to record it?" "Nah, I'm not feeling strong, I doubt III get far" And of course I finally finish it.

I been rewatching Happy Endings and it's insane how talented ElishaCuthberth is in it and how no one ever took advantage of her hilarious timing again.

Took a really good lead fall during last night #leadclimbing session. #rockclimbing #indoorclimbing

New half marathon PR! I'm now part of the 1:35 half marathon club. Fantastic motivator for my upcoming full in 3 weeks, I'm more confident in aiming for a 3:30 now. And got to run out with great friends. #runningthreads

The Ultimates 18 may be my favorite comic of the year. Speaks to the moment with all the lack of subtlety that is needed, but in a way that still had empathy. And it never forgets it's a big superhero comic. "Nothing is beyond forgiveness, if forgiveness is earned"

Taking a much needed Saturday in, so watching Kevin Smith The 4:30 Movie, since it's streaming on Pluto. Seems pretty solid so far.

Been single for almost my entire life, and I made peace with it. I rather think about everything I do have (and lucky to do so) than dwell on that one thing. That said I went to a wedding over the weekend and it hit me hard how much I still want that feeling and realistically I'll never have it.

One of my favorite pictures of me in a while. Gives both "promo shot for a debuting late night show" and "cool principal at photo day" vibes.

Over the weekend I went out and became an ultra marathoner. First 50k, under 5 hours and good enough to take 2nd place. The heat was killer but the people were amazing. Every runner from 10k to 100k was grinding and encouraging and the volunteers kept pushing us. Amazing experience. #running

Rewatched 40 Year Old Virgin. I think it's even more relevant now? The three friends all have toxic masculinity traits and are not happy, and it ends up being Andy, someone that is kind, respectful and thoughtful that has the best relationship and teaches them that.

I don't know if I'm the first one to think it, but Netflix should get Tango studios to make a #kpopdemonhunters game. Hi-Fi Rush already shows they can do a game mixing music and action, so it's a perfect fit.

Scary moment last night, got a call from a friend telling me they were having a mental health struggle and were afraid of hurting themselves. Needed company. Drove down and spent time with them. They thankfully seemed to do , we talked a lot.

Remember when Craig of the Creek did an end of Evangelion riff? youtu.be/mm0Dw_-SXn0?... What an amazing show this was.

The story that Dan told on this week's Bombcast about his dad (who they just had on the Dump truck last week!) paints him like such a horrible person that I'm amazed they thought it was a good idea to leave it in
