Looks like so many people are A-wowed by Avowed!!! I'll see myself out now...

This week has genuinely been super rough on me for a variety of reasons. But I'm doing what I can to trudge along day by day. At least I can look forward to more Monster Hunter Wilds and the New Elden Ring network test this weekend.

When Valentine's Day rolls around, I get excited for the 15th. That's when all the Valentine's Day candy is 50-90% off at the stores around my place. That's what true love is.

My therapist needs a raise for working with me 🤣😂 Zak is one hot mess! A spicy jalapeno, if I may say🌶️🌶️🌶️

I almost never do anything nice or buy anything nice/expensive for myself. Most of my extra money usually goes to gifting/helping friends, charities, others, etc.. But for once I saved up a little bit of money to build a nice device for myself that will hopefully last a while.

PC Saga Update: Nothing was damaged or destroyed. There was a "miscommunication" with UPS, and the box just needed to be repackaged. It sounded super fucking fishy to me. But my PC arrived tonight. Everything was there & looked fine. I'll test everything in the AM. This was stupid 🤦

UPS pretty much damaged/destroyed my PC before they could deliver it. And it wasn't cheap. Now they have to send it back and I have to wait weeks for a new one. I let the vendor know ahead of time, but this still completely sucks with how long I've waited already.

My new PC arrives on Saturday! Is it weird that the first game I want to play is Morrowind?

Happy, happy day! Looks like both my accounts got chosen :)

Zak. You need to stop late-night online shopping when you have no impulse control. Signed, Future Zak (who will be mad & happy at the same time).

When I die, I'm gonna leave a little extra money so my friends can hire Scott Stapp from Creed to sing "Higher" at my funeral, but a half key lower and super flat.

Next week I'll be making a bold move and asking for a raise. 33% to be exact. It's actually what I should be getting paid. So I think I at least deserve that conversation since I am the IT department for an entire company.
