Started my jog wishing I had more book ideas. Then by the end of the jog, I had several great ones. Love this.

The new Tales Under the Oak record is mighty good

Hell of a busy, tiring day. Pretty negative personal goings-on too. At least I can spend the rest of the evening vegetating in front of the television without anybody talking to me or expecting anything of me

September’s gaming was mostly with my kids. We didn’t play anything while we were at the cabin which feels rare.

Only 230lbs to add across my 3 main lifts before I join the 1000lb Club!

It was a nice weekend up north.

Finished A Memory Called Empire. I see mostly why people love it. It felt too claustrophobic for my taste in space opera, but I’m intrigued enough to want to read the sequel.

A busy morning with the oil change, grocery trip, vaccines appointment, and taking kids to the playground. Now we are 4 hours from home at our lovely family cabin for the weekend. Very serene.

A certain series finale tonight left me pretty crestfallen. I don’t mind cliffhangers but dang it, at least resolve SOME of the situations you’ve been letting dangle for 7 episodes

One thing I really miss about hobby life pre-kids is having game days / game nights *somewhere else* - at a shop, cafe, or friend’s house. I’m pretty much always hosting now and it is getting OLD, son

Look I don’t have the Hot Wheels enthusiasm of my 4yo boy but this is the coolest Batmobile I’ve seen yet.

I feel like I need to take a week to sleep, read and play games with absolutely no obligations.

Hear me out @cmyk.games. What if we had big baby in Oath?

Session 2 of Genesys: Twilight Imperium in the books. Good times with a really fun system :)

My current type of movie is “Unsettling A24 production with bold yellow typeface on the poster”

Time to rewatch The Natural.

Robert Redford is one of only a couple movie stars I’ve met IRL. Sad to see him pass.

Painting up General Takahide (a big ole penguin) from Guards of Atlantis II. Kind of a hack job but I’m pleased with it.

It’s in autumn that a man’s heart turns to Torchbearer Second Edition

Oh good my wife’s car starts having fresh issues just as we begin saving to replace it

Ok yeah weighted blankets are the good shit

Drinking half a pint of Guinness at 10am on a Saturday because I don’t want the remainder from this steak marinade to go to waste 😬

Happy Saturday :)

Absolutely loved sleeping last night. 10/10 no notes. I should do that again

I felt like watching The Green Knight, so I’m watching The Green Knight

Oh good my wife’s car is boiling coolant again

Emerald Fennell Assures Fans ‘Wuthering Heights’ Will Be Faithful Adaptation Of ‘Twilight’ https://theonion.com/emerald-fennell-assures-fans-wuthering-heights-will-be-faithful-adaptation-of-twilight/

Received an unsolicited compliment regarding the effectiveness of my gym routine today, so I got that going for me, which is nice :)

Another day of senseless gun violence in the US. I’m on the edge of my seat to hear how the discourse changes this time.

On a whim decided to try a C4 energy drink on my drive home from work and that is not a mistake I will be making again ever

Workout today featuring some major shoulder BM thanks to Sunday’s round of disc golf 😂

It’s been 13 years but we finally retired the old inkjet all-in-one for a monochrome laser printer.

No sleep last night means no workout today. Save that for when the muscles are ready.

A very pleasant game night turned into an absolutely awful night for sleep. The toddlers are still in control.

It’s game night with the east TC crowd. No idea what we’re playing but it probably involves the taking of tricks, or train tracks.

Taking a break from straight up tacos this week and trying to make a dent in this enormous bag of jasmine rice

Park play and toy car parades today

Apparently I need to let my kids watch cartoons because “it helps our teeth grow”

Remembering when I used to actually argue about things online and be preoccupied with responding to (and with) the most meaningless shit for days on end. Ah, those weren’t the days.

Played some Draw Steel tonight, thoroughly enjoyed it. Excited to try more. I love an RPG that knows exactly what it is.

What can be better than reading in bed and listening to the cool breeze in the aspen leaves outside the window?

Kids now know what mummies are

I don’t listen to a lot of metal, but when I work out it’s pretty much the ONLY thing I listen to

pigs in space rule 34

Yeah I bought Silksong on day 1. Might play it by the time my kids are in middle school, too.

Ending any episode of prestige TV with Cherub Rock should win you the Emmy, full stop

I don’t smoke pipe tobacco anymore, and anyways my favorite blends were all discontinued years ago. But sometimes, a cool autumn breeze on a sunny day makes me wistful for it again.

Happy Labor Day, and happy beginning of Tolkien Vibes Season to those who participate (it lasts until MLK Jr Day).

We’re one mission (and three attempts) into Regicide Legacy and it’s already likely my GOTY
