Wow, it’s late. I’m only just writing this at around 11:30pm California time, so as long as I post this guy within the next half hour, I’m technically still on schedule. It’s been another wild week for me, one packed end-to-end with apartment viewings capped off with a lease signing and starting the hunt for… Continue reading Build/Buy

2 On The 2 Road
Hey, Still driving across the United States; we’ve made it to Arizona and by next week these blogposts should return to your regularly scheduled nonsense. We’ve crossed the 3,000 mile mark and found the World’s Biggest Ball of Twine (which is as magical as you’d imagine). Also went stargazing in the middle of Arches National… Continue reading 2 On The 2 Road
On The Road (But Not In A Kerouac Way)
Hey, I’m in the middle of some Pretty Big Life Stuff at the moment that has me leaving New York and engaging in a Great American Road Trip heading towards Pasadena by way of pretty much the middle of America. We’re hitting some of the big sights (The World’s Largest Ball of Twine is day… Continue reading On The Road (But Not In A Kerouac Way)
Vacation
I’m on vacation this week, like a real, legitimate, vaccinated vacation (this post coming to you from middle-of-nowhere in the south of Iceland). Not gonna have too much of a post here, so, in keeping with the last time I was on vacation, I’m gonna link up three posts from the last few months. Adventuring… Continue reading Vacation
The Grind
Since I got back into Destiny 2 a few months ago it’s been in fairly constant rotation as an in-between game. It’s something I’ll play when I’m not playing a new game like Final Fantasy VII: Remake or pulling a Civilization binge. It’s something I refer to as a smooth-brain game, borrowing a term from… Continue reading The Grind
In-Person Gaming
For the past year and change, I’ve been playing a lot of physical games online. By that, I mean I’ve been playing a lot of online games that were originally intended to be played in person. Sometimes these are games by Jackbox, which while mediated by a computer are definitely enhanced by being able to… Continue reading In-Person Gaming
A Sore Arm
Hey there. I’m exhausted today, but that’s probably less because of World Events and more because I got my second Covid shot yesterday. Not to say things have gotten much better from last week, with another two mass shootings in the US happening since then that really call into question the 'normal' we’re returning to… Continue reading A Sore Arm
Exhausted
This past Tuesday, a white man bought a gun and went on a shooting spree in the Atlanta area, killing eight people — six of whom were women of Asian descent. There’s so much more to the story than just this, so much more to unpack. The shooter claimed that his motivation was to remove… Continue reading Exhausted
365 Days Later
Hey. It’s been a year since quarantine started, which, in a moment of magnificent serendipity, was when I was really getting into Death Stranding. But that was quite literally 365 days ago, and I gotta say, this is not how I saw this past year going. Back in July, I started making a tally of… Continue reading 365 Days Later
What’s Up?
We’re halfway through February. By my count, this puts me eleven months into this odd pseudo-lockdown that New York’s been in as a result of the global pandemic. I saw pseudo-lockdown because indoor dining opened yesterday (again) even though the infection rate has held steady in the city at around 7-8% for the past few… Continue reading What’s Up?
