Had band practice last night and we had to do at least one crazy train

Matching fits or bust

Finally got to say hi to one of my fav Marvel characters and visit sister studio Insom recently.

Fortunately only about 30m waiting for another plane that folks were transferring to this flight from.

All this to say, it isn’t one airline. The whole system is broken right now and it needs fixing.

As you can probably imagine, this delay caused me to miss the next flight in Phoenix in which they once again tried to push me to a flight the next day.

After that, I was fed up. Cancelled the flight and booked with another airline out of Phoenix.

Once onboard, this flight ALSO GOT DELAYED.

After boarding the Phoenix flight, it got delayed 3 times while I was on the plane.
- first time waiting for paperwork
- 2nd time they double booked a seat they let too many people on the plane
- 3rd time the checked bag count didn’t match, so they had to figure out why

Okay, shit happens, I’ll get over it and figure something out.

I moved some things around and was able to find a flight through Phoenix to LA that didn’t push the flight back a whole day.

Now 2 stops, but whatever I’ll get home tonight.

Yo, flying in the US is currently the worse it’s ever been.

Today I took a flight from Florida to California which had no direct flights so there was a layover in Dallas.

When I landed I found out the flight from Dallas to LA got delayed a whole day.

Love this!

In my mind, you can only feed the Tamagachi coffee.

Can’t remember the last time I read the word prescient. Thank you.

Also… agreed.

But what about Sneak King?

Pro:
- every male restroom I’ve entered so far in CA has had a changing table
Con:
- the height standard for installation does not seem to have been updated to the average male height

Andor’s relevancy seems never ending unfortunately

Can’t. Wait.

DON'T DO THIS AT HOME KIDS. Can confirm #Switch2 Cartridges still taste bad.

You gotta love Nintendo for stuff like this. Nintendo perpetually reminding its consumer base that it originated as a toy company and how children handle their products is at the forefront of their design.

Same goes for South LA

I hope enshitification gets added to Webster's this year.

I think this is the exact kind of illness that drives us.

An afternoon nap is something I never understood…

…until I became a parent.

Never too early to swag ‘em up

Seeing a lot of “Andor is the best SW thing since the OT.”

It’s not. It’s the best Star Wars has EVER been. It’s better than Star Wars has any right to be. And the timing of its message couldn’t be any more prescient or poignant.

Ooooo Ivanna can’t wait to discuss it with you! 😈

This is the correct take.
