If you don’t do goofy shit with your bullpen in the playoffs, how will anybody know you’re serious?

The one minute delay is anxiety-inducing
An official announcement of a single minute delay. Totally normal.

Picking up sandwiches at Salumi’s in Pioneer Square, watching a steady stream of Mariner’s fans walk to the game. Good vibes.

Man. Watching Verlander get to finish his Hall Of Fame career where he began, and to get to literally walk into retirement holding the hand of his 7 year old daughter is a wonderful thing. Had to wipe the ol eyes once or twice.

Listening to Freakonomics about betting markets, and the advocates for these types of services are garbage people, wanting to legitimize exploitation as a “financial service”. Turns out I want worse things to happen to these folks than I did before listening to this episode. Bet.

There’s a lot of important baseball to be played in the next month, but looking at Seiya Suzuki’s five years with the Cubs, I think you could do worse that offering 2years, 50m, with an option for a third.

Are you allowed to talk shit in professional tennis? I’d find it more captivating if you could call your opponent names and such, turn a blue phrase. I don’t watch, so I honestly don’t know, but it seems self-evident that the sport would be enhanced for the better if you could.

Last coupla years, I’ve been providing a local old-timer with bags of aluminum cans. My relationship with the scrapper is maturing into trust, I think. I saw him outside and approached with my not-great Spanish, to say “what up and I’ve got some cans”, and he told me he grabbed the bag from my truck

One of the things that’ll snap into my mind when encountering a bad driver is “I hope you hit a tree”. But then I immediately feel bad for wishing that fate upon a tree.

It is my infallible understanding that the song “ I choo-choo-choose Texas” is about returning that pilfered land to the Mexican people. I understand why it’s so popular now. Doing the right thing, like returning something that isn’t yours, is always “cool”. (Did I use that phrase right? “Cool”?)

Finished the SYSK pod, “Dreams of the Future”, & a dream phenomenon they didn’t cover is recollection of dreams way after the initial dreaming. Chuck mentioned a dream of his Grandpa that he remembers 45 years later, but I have experiences where dreams from years ago are resummoned by some rl prompt

Never lost by half a million in MTGArena til today.
End of a game of Magic:The Gathering where I lost by 524,271 to the trampling shenanigans of a Mana Gorger (that I kilt dead with a 2/2 death-touchin insect). To the uninitiated, Magic is a game where (in this format) you start with 20 life.

Cover illustration for a magazine called “Metro Guide” being distributed thought metro stations in Tokyo from September 2017.
Riding away along a glistening, stone-paved lane (ishidatami), a solitary cyclist moves beneath an arching canopy of autumn maple leaves (momiji) blazing in brilliant shades of crimson, rust, and orange. To the left, traditional timber townhouses (machiya) border the path, their dark wooden facades outfitted with hanging shop curtains (noren) and subtle lanterns. Along the curb, wild pampas grass (susuki) bends gently in the crisp air, while fresh rainwater pooling on the wet flagstones reflects the bright sky and fiery foliage like sheets of stained glass.  Created as the cover illustration for the free publication Metro Guide, distributed across Tokyo metro stations starting in September 2017, this piece reimagines the historical genre of meisho-e (pictures of famous views) through a contemporary watercolor lens. Designed to encourage urban commuters to pause and rediscover seasonal beauty within and beyond the capital, the artwork bridges graphic publishing with classical landscape sensibilities.
