Mentally, I'm in a booth at Pizza Hut, having just finished my third game of PacMan, personal pan pizza that I earned with my Book It pin still sizzling in the cast iron as I sip a cool Sprite out of the red plastic cup

One thing I've noticed from talking to (a ton, like, more than years) strangers today is that a lot of very normal people are very angry

Whatever your plans are for tomorrow, I'd just like to point out that in addition to obscuring one's face from despotic armed forces, a face mask will also mitigate the chances of contracting the newest and hottest covid varient. It's called razor blade throat, if you were wondering

The best thing about having actual human readers get their eyes on my book before I publish it is that I still have time to rewrite every part of it before subjecting the public to it

Do we think the entwives were maybe really fast? And maybe that's how the ents lost them? Just couldn't keep up then they're gone forever? I like the image of zippy entwives darting about, impossible to catch

Liverpool winning the league and then heavily investing in the squad is the kind of thing we used to dream about when feeling particularly delusional. What even is this #YNWA

So, apparently the Club World Cup—an international club soccer tournament being held in the US this summer—is struggling to sell tix and worried about poor fan interest. Can't imagine why foreigners wouldn't wanna come catch some games right now

One of my favorite things about high school was how the football team tried to pull off the Big Men on Campus jock routine while going out every Friday night to get walloped 63-9. We capped an 0-50 streak my junior year. Just great stuff

Huh. Apparently I need to recalibrate my definition of success. Wildly positive audience and critical reception is not the metric by which executives evaluate movies. From an accounting standpoint, this is apparently a flop, which would explain the shift in direction

Weather's great, time a lot of people start visiting Seattle, so just a heads up: Most private parking lots are not owned by the city of Seattle and have no legal grounds to enforce parking tickets because they are owned by companies in different countries. No more parking tickets, mostly. Enjoy!
