Now that I’m nearing 35, I realize the only thing I want is the simple pleasure of everything in my life going exactly the way I expect it to

All roads lead to Applebee’s (or at least mine did, tonight)

I’m tired of tyranny and violence

If I break out my book at a get together I’m either uncomfortably trying to avoid people or just completely relaxed with everyone there

Really enjoying this early January warmth! Especially if I don’t think about the implications

It’s already day 2 of 2026 and all of my hopes, dreams, and goals haven’t been fully and completely realized, what is this

My dinner was 6 Fazoli’s breadsticks, a Diet Coke, and some ice cream and I feel like that accurately reflects the times we’re living through

Tech meetings in 2025: dozens of people sitting through hour long meetings rewriting an AI generated document that is 95% incorrect

Trying (and failing) not to weep uncontrollably while listening to the end of rhythm of war while eating soup by myself in a Vietnamese restaurant is a very specific vibe

I’ve always thought the internet is a double edged sword but with the rise of toxic alpha podcasts and the insidious strength of algorithmic pipelines I’m starting to think it’s skewing more bad than good

Thanos might have been onto something, but instead of eliminating 50% of the universe’s population he should have snapped away those holding 50% of all wealth. Although Tony Stark has to be sacrificed in this scenario as well (and for legal reasons this is a joke, I do not have the infinity stones)

Finally saw the Minecraft movie (man of culture that I am). I was surprised that the first 20 minutes of the film were spent worldbuilding the real/non Minecraft world in a way that somehow evoked both Roald Dahl and Napoleon Dynamite in equal measure. Probably the best part of the movie

Being a parent is like being stuck in a time loop where you get your kid a snack only to find yourself immediately back in the kitchen as if nothing happened the first time

I have a recurring dream about this one incredible book that is better than any other book in the world and right as I find it I wake up and realize it doesn’t exist

Took my kids to see Mufasa and the music in it is so bad it’s kind of impressive. They also made Skar an incel which is maybe the only entertaining thing about this AI-ridden mess of a movie

There are too many apps to check, too many feeds to scroll endlessly, too many notifications to clear. Tempted to trade my smartphone for a flip phone (who am I kidding I'm addicted to all these apps)

Finally broke my 1+ month reading slump! The secret? PlayStation network simply had to shut down for nearly 24 hours

I felt that way about Oathbringer the first time I read it, but rereading it now I’m finding it muuuuch better for some reason! And for Rhythm it very much seems like it hinges on how much you enjoy Navani’s storyline. Either way I won’t argue that they might be a bit long haha. Love them still!

Now that the Game Awards nominees have been announced, I have 2.5 weeks to play Metaphor re Fantazio, Black Myth Wukong, Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd, and Balatro, so that I can fairly cast my vote. Should be doable!

Great book - this was my first experience with Discworld!

When you hit Sanderson level editors don’t reign you in nearly as much it seems haha. I do feel like this will be worth it though… (hopefully)

😂😂

Yeah even as a kid I was like “if adults knew what I was reading they probably wouldn’t be okay with it”

Reading through this series at 13 was something haha

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom!

Emotion is such a good album

“…a perfect blend of brutality and elegance.” Couldn’t have said it better myself, loved this creepy little book!

So far the vibes are much better here!

Definitely one of my most anticipated sequels. Like what the heck dude don’t leave us hanging like this!

Nothing helps me write more than the feeling that I’m helping a grumpy wizard exhume records of a long-forgotten darkness #writing #gandalfthegrey #gondor #ancienttexts
