I feel it again, the siren's call to acquire a tungsten cube.

God damn, it can be hit or miss on slow days but when their tenders are good, they are genuinely excellent.

Popeye's is the best fast food within a 7 minute walk of my basement.

Getting wings at Popeye's should be like getting lobster at Red Lobster. The wings should be in a tank that badly approximates their natural environment and then I pick which ones I want and they go directly into the fryer.

Surprised The Weather Channel still exists in its same form. Haven't had cable in forever so I expected them to rebrand to some BS like Weathr with a companion streaming platform called Weathr+

Found an EDM song that features the audio of Nick Cage yelling 'not the bees!' as the drop. Kind of a bad time period to be living through but damn if it doesn't have a silver lining here and there.

Give me dopamine or give me death.

The piss tunnel was surprisingly empty and clean this morning.

Sometimes I think food delivery apps should have an option where the food is thrown out the car window as the driver speeds past and you have to catch it in like a net on a stick.

Woke up mad again that we don't use the metric system.

unhappy with this development

just opened up a therapy video call by instinctively asking 'should I share my screen?'

It is a good day to make waffles.

just extended excel across two screens as a single continuous window and immediately got 5 hitpoints added to my health bar

Escalators are treated more gently than stairs because people have a healthy fear of being eaten alive.

Like a poisonous frog in the jungle signalling with bright coloring, escalators signal danger through fragility.

The little wobble when you step onto them wards off mistreatment.

Can't stand when I have a song stuck in my head and go to listen to it only to discover I was in the wrong key. Deeply annoying.

Left grad school feeling anxious about my capacity to someday produce pristine, polished drawing sets as I assumed this was required to have a successful career.

I have been disillusioned now.

when the licensed architect starts getting uppity on the accessibility consultation zoom call about numbers that aren't interpretable

Dreaming in architectural drawings and spreadsheets now. Seeing wall details flashing before me, breaking my immersion as I move through a dream building. Legit just doing work while I sleep on a weekend. This has to stop, my dreams used to be fun adventures. Gotta make some art to reset.

Wishing I could shoot scifi style laser beams from my right eye again.

I feel like the frustrated step dad of a petulant teenager. But it's not a child and I'm not a father figure, it's just my hair refusing to act its age, fighting me in everything just to be contrarian.

New job has me dreaming in spreadsheets.

With prep time, I'm convinced I could at least 42 Popeyes chicken tenders.

11 months later, the final chicken in my flock has begun to lay. Big wins out in the Sherbet Kingdom.

As I seek formal employment, I have gradually integrated myself into The Corporate Way.

Just yesterday, I passed a new milestone when I made a questionnaire and sent it to members of my network as a casual data mining exercise.

The Higher Ups shall take notice of me soon.

Call me a slop eating mongrel, but the Bacon King™ is the best chain fast food burger within a 3 mile radius.

I think Makita makes one of those on their 40V platform

Testing a new home economic model: my wife tells me how much any plate of food I hand her for dinner would cost if it were purchased from the Whole Foods hot bar, and we subtract what it actually cost.

The differential directly informs the joy of eating it.

Sous vide cooking is basically intentionally loading your food up with 23x the normal amount of micro plastics in exchange for giving all your favorite meat dishes the consistency of cat food.
