Getting up and about in the early morning on a commuting day in the dead of New England Winter takes a little more planning than it does in the summer.

There is a deadly game that I play with myself on these nights/mornings. It is still pitch black outside when my alarm goes off on days that I need to commute into the ( Read more... )

This was a very refreshing day, appropriately.

S.T. and I caught a few episodes of The Twilight Zone, we caught up on Monday Night Raw from Monday, and that evening I sat down to play the entirety of The Duck Detective, which might be one of the cutest and most enjoyable little 2 hour game experiences that I ( Read more... )

These last few days are a real blur. I'm looking forward to regularity, though I have sincerely enjoyed having time off to just reflect and exercise and not do much else.

The trip to Kohls became, thankfully, a trip to Whole Foods, which was busy but very well organized. They had it all down to a science.

I had ( Read more... )

Here we are again. Another year has gone by and I can confidently say that my passion for parasocial relationships with disembodied voices is as strong as ever. You might say that it has gotten even stronger, since this is the year that I actually took the insane step of installing an HF antenna on top of my house so that I can listen in on inane ( Read more... )

Dead Space (2023)

This was a delightful way to start off the year.

My previous experience with Dead Space had been rather strange. In 2019 I played the third and, what most people consider to be the weakest installment in the series, Dead Space 3. It was purely out of a want to play something coop and silly with my friend Shawn. Neither of us ( Read more... )

We ended up having a really nice time on S.T.'s birthday!

She hung out and watched Muppet Christmas Carol and whatnot during the day while I took care of a few last minute work things.

That evening we found a very convenient parking spot right outside of PJ's pub and we shared some pretty fantastic wings and ( Read more... )

My old friend Buddy came by with a tray of frozen lasagna and a mountain of Christmas cookies. He does this every year and I appreciate it so much. We chatted for a bit before he had to dash off to make his next delivery. He is such a good person.

I ended up spending a long time on the treadmill even after I ( Read more... )

S.T. and I did in fact end up watching a full night of boxing. The stream held together really well and there were some good fights, but most were fairly lopsided. One that especially stuck in my craw was a baby-faced 18 year old kid up against a guy in his late 30s that was clearly just there to artificially ( Read more... )

This week has been absolutely brutal.

I'm exhausted physically, emotionally, and just plain tired. I can't ensure that my recall of the last few days is going to be terribly accurate or clear but I will try my best.

We did, in fact, end up meeting up on Discord. Johnny couldn't make it, but we managed to get ( Read more... )

As could have been predicted, shortly after I finished writing that entry, we talked it out.

I was messing about with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, a game that I am finding altogether whelming, she came upstairs to check on me. I told her that I had some complex thoughts about intimacy that I wanted to talk out ( Read more... )
