So... we all just leave all the .pro files we use just open in the idlde, right?

:: planning out my house-husband daily schedule of activities ::

FFFFUuuuuuu....

My daughter now wears the same size socks as my wife and I was not emotionally ready for this milestone.

As I become more entrenched in my “middle aged white guy” era, I find my appreciation for the music of Rush has increased.

It's too early in the year to be burnt out... But here we are.

To the woman who did a fall photoshoot with her corgi next to our halloween decorations: You’re welcome back anytime. Please, let me pet the corgi.

Hmmm, nothing to shake a stick at…

Hey Blue Sky coin and language people…. Where is this thing from???

Fuck it, we ride.

Stephen Colbert did a segment on Project 2025 last night and it's a good intro: youtu.be/kXFwdmR6BYU

I've never witnessed pure SDE in public, but I did last night when a middle aged man loudly ridiculed a woman and her child for courteously riding their bikes on a sidewalk.

Must… …stop… …doomscrolling.

Why is my feed crammed with cursed 90s and 00s pop-punk band videos?

Dammit dammit dammit. It is a good thing all the girl scouts are still at school, otherwise I’d have stopped in front of a grocery store on my way home, gotten some Tagalongs, and eaten an entire box of my feelings.

7 y/o: “Daddy, I know they’re the same, but the Emoji Waffles don’t taste as good as the Baby Yoda Waffles.” WELCOME TO FANDOM, MY CHILD.

Why is rehearsing a presentation even embarrassing when you're practicing alone?

Ooo, I’m playing too! shiny.rcg.sfu.ca/u/rdmorin/sc...

Damn, by the time I get to #aas243 Monday no one is gonna want to drink anymore.

Wife: "It will be nice that Bryn is going out with her friend! We have all evening to do anything we want!" Me: "I could work on my qual presentation without being interrupted!" Wife: "... or we could have a date night." Me: "oh, right, that's what I meant." GRAD SCHOOL MESSES WITH YOUR BRAIN

If spreading peanut butter on a Hershey bar is wrong then, baby, I don’t wanna be right.

I love giving gifts but, man, do I *hate* wrapping presents.

It finally happened! That moment that conservative pundits have been fretting about for years, “hOw WiLL yOu ExPlAiN gAy PaReNtS to YoUr KiDs?” This is how it went down… 7 y/o: “Where is her mommy?” Me: “she doesn’t have a mommy, she has 2 dads.” 7 y/o: “oh, OK.” End. Fuckin’ easy.

I managed to not get spaghetti sauce on my off-white shirt before my afternoon meetings with important people please clap

If I ever lose my shit in a retail environment I *guarantee* it’ll be in a Hobby Lobby. That place is the worst.

I’ve reached the, “I’ll start exercising again when I’m done my PhD,” threshold of free time.

I should have gotten a venti.

I spelled "contemporaneous" right on the first try. Wrap it up, I am declaring today a victory and headed home.
