Tried to phone a friend at Boy Scouts meeting. Didn’t get an answer in time.

I feel like the Simpsons universe should use base 8 numbering. Do they ever address this? Or maybe in Futurama? There’s nothing special about 10, except for our mean number of fingers, right?

As a lawyer, Google Doc’s autocorrection of “cite check” to “cute check” is upsetting.

Just realized that there is a difference between the Assassin’s Creed logo and the Volcom logo. I had thought there were a bunch of middle aged dudes who like videogames.

I’m not sure I’m a responsible enough adult to live this close to a Taco Bell.

It was both a blessing and a curse to learn that I can get a replacement remote for my TV for like $5 overnighted to my house. Now, when I give up on trying to find where my kids hid the remote, I buy a new one. Inevitably, I find the old one just before the new one arrives.

Looking at my 4th grader’s class picture, it’s encouraging to see that less than half of them know how to smile for pictures. It’s not just my kid. When do people figure that out?

The biggest loser in the 2024 election might be Grover Cleveland: the “first” president to serve non-consecutive terms is not all that interesting. Will kids even learn about him in school anymore?

Playing Horizon: Forbidden West and Fallout 4 to distract myself from politics, and the post-apocalyptic themes are feeling much less like fantasy than they used to…

It’s really strange watching Twitter effectively go down on the same day Reddit shut down third party apps. Like, the internet hasn’t felt this hard to use and devoid of easily accessible, useful information since the early 2000s.

Me at everyday at lunch: *open non-dairy yogurt and take a bite* *check expiration date* “I guess that’s what it’s supposed to taste like…”

As bad as the new methods of teaching math may be, I feel even less equipped to help my kids identify what is a fruit and what is a vegetable. Nothing they told us when we were kids was correct.

80+ shrines into TOTK and I still hit Up to switch abilities instead of L at least 75% of the time. Relatedly, I reach for the non-existent stick every time I try to change gears when I borrow my wife’s car.

Playing TOTK with my 6 y/o, just like I played the original Zelda with my dad when I was 6…about 36 years ago. I wish I could share it with him, too.

Wise words: “a falling knife has no handle.” Less profound words that apparently still needed to be said to me: “Don’t try to stop a falling plate with your foot; let it break.”

The best part of the MCU is that it helped me convince my son that Shawarma is amazing. Also, the scene where the Guardians find Thor floating in space.

Translating my 6-year old: “Leprechaun Trap Day” = St. Patrick’s Day.
