Guys I was getting ready to hop on the treadmill and the music from “Doom” came up on Spotify. Am I gonna die?

I just a stranger guess that I lift for the first time and shit that feels gratifying.

Strava has started sending me reminders to start activities, Duolingo style. I feel like I should be concerned.

Since I got back into running, I’ve been sleeping better, had more energy, my back hasn’t hurt as much, and as you can see, I’m well on my way to being completely insufferable.

The good of summer: stay outside reading until it gets dark and the fireflies come out. The bad of summer: the fireflies were apparently obligated to bring their shitty cousins, the mosquitoes.

About to do a 5K in the rain. Just in case anyone mistakenly thought I respected myself.

I know we all saw the Trump/Musk breakup coming, but DAMN is it funny to watch.

Area man horrified to discover that morning run currently best part of day.

I am temporarily stepping into the DM’s chair in my longest running D&D group. I’ve homebrewed a Shakespeare themed murder mystery and it is 100% an excuse to make as many puns based on his works as possible.

For those wanting to place bets on the #KentuckyDerby, I have it on good authority that it’ll come down to one horsy running in a circle slightly faster than several other horsies. I’ll take a 5% commission from your winnings with that info.

Weather is finally looking stable, so I finished weeding my herb garden and adding new soil. The question is, this late in the year, do I try planting from seed or just get stuff from the farmers market and put it in the ground?

We are no longer imposing tariffs on penguins. Much to the relief of my favorite childhood stuffed animal.

I have bought a LOT of books in the last two days. So, when the apocalypse happens, my survival bunker will have the best library.

I miss the days when I thought The Phantom Menace opening with the "taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems" was a boring, lame way to lead into a galactic war against fascism.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

It’s my birthday party, most of my friends flaked on me, and I’m making everyone who showed up watch the original Godzilla movie with me. Am I the problem?

Thundaaaaastorm

It’s my birthday week. Which will entail very little until the weekend and nobody is expected to do anything for it. But I WILL be acting just slightly entitled about it. As a treat to me.

Awfully rude that I can’t spend the entirety of my birthday week sitting on the porch reading in nice weather.

ME: let’s get out of here, this place sucks FRIEND: *glancing around* out of…of 2025? ME: vibes are off, let’s go

“Oh awesome new Wu-Tang single!” *music video is blatantly AI generated* “Well shit”

Can’t believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.

Last year some of my friends started what we decided would be an annual cooking competition, which I won (theme was enchiladas, I did shrimp in a savory cream sauce). I have my recipe for this year (theme is curry) and I’m far more antsy to make sure I retain my title than is necessary.

2025 is honestly a terrible year already and I am compensating for it by going to more conventions and concerts. Society may be crumbling but the @dropkickmurphys.com are still there for me.

Well. Fuck today.

Uhhhh. That was it, THE critical role. #criticalrole

Oh. They’re getting EVERYONE into one place. This is gonna hurt. #criticalrole

Going to get into as much of the #criticalrole finale tonight as possible. They’re leading off as the Mighty Nein and I’m already in the feels.

I also saw my shadow this morning. I hope it doesn’t mean we need to put up with six more weeks of that attitude of yours.

It’s a weird flex to wait years between conversations with someone , just to send them pissy messages about Hillary Clinton on a Saturday night. Or so I’d think.

The key is to be so annoying on Facebook that the official Drumpf page deliberately refuses to follow you. It takes effort, but it’s worth it in the end.

You could watch the inauguration today. Or, hear me out, you could go to the nearest zoo, smuggle in a pound of uncooked bacon in your pockets, and see which large predatory animal busts out of its enclosure and chases you down first. As your wellbeing goes, it would be a lateral move at worst.

Downloading Baldurs Gate III so I can spend tomorrow pretending I’m defeating evil with eclectic weirdo friends and probably a cool sword.

Hey LinkedIn, please don’t email me telling me to say happy birthday to a former classmate who died over a year ago. It’s… not the optimal way to start the week.

Had every intention of actually working from my office downtown today. The additional snow and the city of Topeka’s almost comical lack of interest in plowing residential neighborhoods in the middle of town said otherwise.

Oh gross, it’s my first full five day work week in nearly a month

If you feel like you need to go anywhere in this blizzard… maybe just go to whatever whimsical lands a book you have on hand will take you.

Had the convo about starting a commune with all my friends again. This remains the dream.

Post your favorite Star Trek character but wrong answers only

I have less than an hour until I begin the long holiday weekend, no pressing tasks to deal with, and some undiagnosed something-or-another urge to start learning unusual latke recipes.

Based on the trailer alone, I think the new Superman movie might be the Bluesky to Man of Steel’s X/twitter

The water was out at my office this morning, so no coffee. Work replacing something on the water line was right outside my window and loud. So massive headache. I credit the reintroduction of caffeine to my soul this afternoon with fixing said headache even more than the reduction in noise.

I identify heavily with cartoon witches because omg leave me alone with my soup this is why I moved to the forest in the first place

I feel like it’s relevant that it snowed the day after I bought a Fleet Foxes vinyl.

I haven’t been posting much because I’ve been preoccupied with a not great situation in actual life. But here’s a sleepy dog for you all.

I may be cringe,, but at least I’m still wracked with doubt about it at every step of the way
