finally replaced our terrible washing machine this week

and today I installed the new toilet

slowly running out of house disasters to fix

oh nothing just thinking about perlin noise you know it's just all splines and who doesn't love a good spline anyway

tuned my grandpa's baritone ukulele for my dad, he should be able to shred now

going to see santa lol #Monsterdon

SEMIDEAD 🫣 #Monsterdon

now i'm back at the swim meet, got here just in time to see 14yo kill her 50 free

race day is here! I wish I had trained more!

they're doing a 40th anniversary theatrical re-release of transformers the movie (1986) to retraumatize us in 4k, don't fall for it (I'll probably go though)

google changed all their web icons and now i can't find anything in my tabs but the important thing is some exec hit their KPIs

rode out to lava lands and after a little water and stretching I'm riding up this lil guy

yall I might have fixed our dryer, maybe. time will tell

I watched an interview that classicist tom holland did of actor tom holland about the new odyssey movie and classicist tom holland made a good point about non-classicist chris nolan portraying certain scenes more fantastically to convey the mythological aspects of the story. I like that view so I feel ready to watch it now. it's still very hard for me to see matt damon as odysseus, very hard. but ok, matt, let's see what you've done

wife and i got a shout out for timing every swim meet, perfect attendance! 🏆

happy 525 to all who celebrate

#SecondLife

heck yeah he's getting cauldrowned

#Monsterdon

where is the horse and the rider?
where is the horn that was blowing?

#Monsterdon

took nap during that 😴

#Monsterdon

me: *pours cereal*

wife: omg HOW MUCH CEREAL ARE YOU GOING TO EAT????

me: ..whatever it takes

tom holland as telemachus
robert pattinson as antinous
charlize theron as calypso

these are good

matt damon as odysseus, what, no

you know who would kill that role is david tennant, also possibly michael sheen or richard armitage

this next one's got john rhys davies AND the intro is like an 80s british murder mystery show

10yo wants to buy a 24 inch curved computer monitor to play the switch 2 on

remembering how I used to use my TI-99/4a monitor to watch movies from a VCR I got from goodwill

for mothers day we had dinner at my parents' house a day early and watched Uncharted for some reason. my mom gave me a poem she wrote that's in an upcoming anthology (it's good)

this morning i made smitten kitchen french toast with whipped cream and fruit jelly. super good. ive lapsed into being a mediocre cook but the recipe covers me

I still have some things to do yet but first I need to drowse off this meal

reading again through mary oliver's dream work in anticipation of the upcoming american masters (pbs) episode about her life

it's ok with you if i eat candy today

lentils! hot diggity

now watching The Wages of Fear (2024) just you know to see, just to take a look, and see if it's gonna hold up to the original or to Sorcerer

ah dang I did that thing where you fall asleep for two minutes and then you're more tired

my main work password expires in 4 days. it's fun to pretend it's my last day of work. say your goodbyes people im procrastinating my way out

ice cream! what'll they think of next
