Like I said.
A screenshot from Apple Music showing my stats for September. Queens of the Stone Age is the top artist, and their new album and songs are my most played of the month, even though there are only three songs out so far.

This year alone I have thought about about a dozen times that I should quit everything and open a storage facility. They are everywhere but they keep popping up new ones. Off the top of my head I can think of five or six that are within 10 minutes of my house.

It’s impressive, and I love Zach and Jess, but this just isn’t what I’m into. Though I do miss the “smaller” Game Changer games.

My dad and I used to go out and take photos whenever we were together. Usually they were local to where they lived or where I lived, but sometimes we’d go on actual trips like to the Grand Canyon a few years ago. It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these.

When I was with my father on a photo excursion he saw a Sonic and was like a kid. He asked if we could go with childlike wonder in his eyes. Couldn’t say no to that.

I say this often. Usually in front of people who don’t know my sense of humor. Which is fun.

This is the only song of theirs that I connected with. I went to one of their shows because Slothrust was opening and I figured I’d hang out and give them a try live - at least until they played this song. I ended up bailing and the song was the last song of the encore. Kinda glad I didn’t stay.

That one didn’t hit me as much. The other one I can remember is calling “crossing guards” “lollipop people”. I think that’s adorable.

Sometimes Poppy wants to be alone to potty outside. Sometimes she wants an audience. If you try to guess which one you’ll always be wrong.

We were putting away laundry and I realized that I wore three different t-shirts with pizza on them (the design, not stains). Then I realized that I have enough shirts with a pizza design to wear every day of the work week. So I’m gonna wear them all one week and see if anyone notices on Zoom.

Every time I watch a legal show or movie and someone objects to something in court I literally have to stop listening and parse what “sustained” and “overruled” means in context of the case and I end up missing the rest of the scene.
