So glad that ESPN bought the exclusive rights to one of the best streaming services ever made (MLB.tv) and their first instinct was to make it worse.

I'm gonna need you guys to keep it down, I just put on Toy Story and I'm going to sleep.

Went for a walk outside for the first time in months just now. 10/10, would do again.

Well, I was gonna wash my hands in this sink until I read it was out of order...

If there's one thing I know for sure as I wake up this morning, it's that corticosteroids are fucking magic.

We made it.

Watching Frasier for the umpteenth time, and somehow completely forgot that @diedrichbader.bsky.social played Roz's date in the episode where Frasier and Niles buy a restaurant!

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing the Catholic church did right was develop an entire season based on eating fish and chips.

Got an invitation for an upcoming surprise party for a friend and this is all I can think of since I got it. @blakethebutcher.bsky.social

Favorite recent discovery: YouTube channels that post long videos (uninterrupted by ads) with sleep sounds and no picture, so the screen turns off. White noise, dark room, CPAP on, and I'm out like a light.

Home after a night out and paid $8 for a digital copy of "Beautiful Girls". One might say that's too much for a mediocre movie from the mid-90s, but I'd counter that the last time I was drunk and wanted to watch this movie I spent $120 for a year of HBO MAX, so I'm coming out way the fuck ahead.

Left home tonight with Piper Putz in her PJs (left). Came home to this, left in her wake (right).

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but: As a society, can we agree to stop putting so much corned beef on sandwiches already? Even when it's great corned beef, which it rarely is, it's just too goddamn much.

It's too cold for me to be outside this early.

My boss is currently standing outside my office talking to two of my louder and dumber coworkers. I want to die.

Much respect to children's author Christian Robinson for being able to thread the needle of writing a book about inclusivity, making reference to an extinction level event, and mixing in a fart joke, all in fewer than 600 characters.

Me: *gets up to let the dog out* Her: *does her business, jumps back in the bad and sits down to wait for me* Me: don't get too comfortable yet Her:

Snow day, baby!

My power just flashed off and on, my TV turning back on to a story about First Energy seeking more flexibility (and time) to fix blackouts. Try keeping the power on when there's no inclement weather, then maybe I'll buy into this bullshit.

Woke up and went to take a shower, came back to this. She makes it really hard not to hate her sometimes.

As if I needed any more reason to hate meetings, I was just in one that was supposed to be wrapping up and one of these dopey motherfuckers started yapping about the City of Cleveland's plan to put a concert hall by the lake when Browns Stadium is demolished. Something that has zero relevance to us.

I just remembered I have to go downstairs and get laundry out of the dryer from Friday. I still don't want to do it.

I'm starting to think this dog of mine has too great a variety of treats in the house. I gave her a Milk-Bone, which she promptly dropped so she could look at my hands and the other 7 containers of treats to see if there was something better coming.

You mean to tell me I have to start this year by shoveling? Fuck you already, 2026!

The "traditional*" New Year's Eve bucatini carbonara. *annual request from my dad for his birthday

Oh, hey, happy birthday @mementomorty.bsky.social!!! (I swear I didn't plan to post this right at midnight, it was just pure happenstance).

Roasted Brussels sprouts with hot Italian sausage and shallots, ginger honey glazed carrots, hasselback au gratin potatoes, delicious smoked ham. I'm full, and tired.

Just out tossing teddies.

Finalizing the grocery list for Christmas. On the menu so far: Smoked ham (courtesy of Ohio City Provisions) Roasted brussels sprouts with Italian Sausage Honey roasted carrots Hasselback potato gratin Can't decide if I want to add something else, but at least I have the day before off to prep.

If anyone was wondering what Lake Erie looks like right now from downtown Cleveland--it is still. If I were the lake, I'd be trying to flow north to get away from that giant pile of turds on the shore where the Browns play.

I'm gonna be really annoyed if I've been limping around like an idiot for a month, waiting for a Doctor's appointment to look at my knee, and all it took was replacing my stupid insole.

My initial plan for this 5-day weekend was basically do nothing. My hamstring's been bugging me so I just wanted to rest. I have an allergist appointment, but that's nothing. Then the snow came. Over an hour outside shoveling, and all I want to do now is cuddle up with the dog and nap. But I can't.

Turkeys almost ready, and I just started a Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving episode marathon. I don't want it to ever end.

This city certainly has its share of problems, starting with the Browns, but the food scene here truly is excellent.

Holiday dessert acquired.

Ready for winter.

Hey @mementomorty.bsky.social, the news just told me it's national pickle day. So happy national pickle day!

Enjoying her new bathrobe so far. Had to go with the rhino, since she rams through every door with her head like one.

I have few followers, and most of you have probably seen this, but worth amplifying the little I can.

Power's out, they need to let me go home.

Not wasting any time trying to get back to the World Series in 2026. It's been a good 12 hours or so of news!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine was truly at its best when Holt was unhinged. Andre Braugher in the episode where Wuntch dies was just pure gold.

@blakethebutcher.bsky.social can you tell your baseball boyfriend to beat up the Marlins guy next to him at the Jays game?

Say what you want about the NBA being embroiled in yet another "totally unforeseeable and unlikely to happen again" illegal gambling scandal on the second day of the season, but at least they made it deeper into the season than MLB did this year.

Day 5 of ear drops for the dog's ear infection. Not geting any easier, mostly because she's feeling better, ironically.

Cold as ice

Would it be too much to ask for CPAP manufacturers to avoid having small, clear, easily detachable (for seemingly no reason) parts be vital to me not dying in my sleep? I did not enjoy that particular scavenger hunt.
