My birthday is in a few days and I’m already watching a Cubs spring training game on TV. I love having a February birthday for this reason alone.

We’re getting real overtime rules for the hockey final. Sweet.

Played Avowed all day. Having a great time with it. I have been trained to collect every crafting resource on the map by Assassin’s Creed games so I’m all set. I imagine it is quite punishing if you don’t keep your gear upgraded. It’s still a little broken but fun.

Avowed is fairly fun so far, although it could use a patch. It’s not very polished and sometimes the buttons don’t work in the menus. If it wasn’t free with Game Pass I’d be disappointed. As it is, I played for hours today. It’s not too hard.

Don’t feel like getting up to take pictures but this morning’s listening was MJ Lenderman -> Blur -> The Darkness -> Vampire Weekend.

It is zero degrees today but the Cubs’ first spring training game is in two days. That’ll warm things up.

McCartney’s drummer has such a minimal setup, no rack toms and ONE cymbal. Legit.

I’m just glad Al Sharpton got a line. #SNL50

The first ten minutes or so of The Gorge made me worry that this isn’t the kind of movie that knows it’s silly but now Anya Taylor-Joy is dancing to the first Ramones record so I guess I’m in.

A fight the second the first period started! Spectacular!

Today’s playlist. Proud of myself for not skipping any of the annoying songs on Vitalogy (and there are several).

Had to go to Wilmette for a fountain drink today. Prayers up.

I have been watching the Mission: Impossible movies, since they’re (mostly) all on Paramount Plus and I hadn’t seen a single one of them. I am halfway through and I have so little to say about them. They’re all fine! All pretty similar!

Based on the early reviews Avowed sounds pretty fun. I am hoping I will not bounce off of it like the last three or four action-oriented games I tried off Game Pass. I don’t want to admit I suck at these games.

Looking forward to trying Civilization VII for about an evening, shrugging, and then playing 4,000 more hours of Civ IV.

Time to watch Luka’s first game with the Lakers. LeBron and Luka looking to take turns driving the lane and throwing lobs to Jaxson Hayes. Waiting to see if they run any two-man game with each other.

Just got my first push alert regarding a Cubs pitching injury this season. Let’s go baseball!

Sports festivities completed... watching Star Trek Disco, S3E12. My second time through the show proceeds. I'm learning to like it. I still don't know the names of most of the bridge crew.

Oh the postgame Athletic stream hasn't started yet? Sure YouTube I'll watch live Genesis footage from 1973.

Don't change the channel, the game might be over but a special presentation of The Floor starring Rob Lowe is coming on next!
