So we wandered out of the U.P. into Wisconsin for dinner and we ordered some cheese curds but they also brought bread which I wasn’t expecting because I’m not used to places that are nice enough to bring you Assumed Bread but anyway I made a some little cheese curd sandwiches and they were delicious

Eating this JJ’s Unwich at my desk like Saturn devouring his son

You’re not supposed to give bread to ducks but you can give me bread and no one will yell at you just saying

Bitter, short-lived Blink-182 side project showdown:

Box Car Racer vs. +44

Which band is superior to you? I re-listened to both today and I find the comparison fascinating

The new Liquid Mike single fucking rips

The sign in this restaurant bathroom says “employees must wash hands” so wanting to follow the rules I went and found an employee and said “hey I saw the sign please wash my hands” and long story short I’m really not a fan of these mixed messages

Hype Machine As a disclaimer, I realize this post might come off as an unhinged self indulgent rambling mess. I’ve never once posted any writing publicly that I assumed most people would care about, so don’t th…

There’s some playlists for Cloud Nothings, Drug Church, and Liquid Mike at the end if you’re understandably not in the mood to read my walls of text about albums and personal playlist theory and just want some tunes by good bands

Man I’ve had my share of “I’m getting older” medical issues but I must have a few decent genes because I have friends younger than me with a head of grey hair and I could still pass for 30. I’ll be celebrating my 80th birthday and get my first wrinkle and some of you will just be skeletons

Coworker: well, I’m going to head back to my office.
Me: if you can find it! I’ve hidden your office somewhere in this building!
Coworker: …is—
Me: I’LL NEVER TELL!

Look all I’m saying is MAYBE humans weren’t designed to sit in a small fluorescently lit cube shoveling down microwaved leftover curry listening to a loop of hold music on speakerphone with Tech Support while staring out a window at a sunlit field, that’s all

Ah, February, the longest month of the year

You ever get a box of Triscuits with better-than-average browning on the edges and think “hell yeah this is going to be a good snack”?

Look I’m clinging to the little things these days to keep me sane don’t make fun of me

Imagine being a scientist at Jurassic Park and coming in to work the next morning only to find it in utter chaos. I bet they were like “fucking night crew, they always leave openers with the mess”

Apparently we’re looking for John McClane at the office today

A legal description implies the existence of an illegal description

Who likes music? I know I do! Here’s 165 tracks from 165 of my favorite albums from last year.

Why is this site called “Bluesky” when it’s clearly white and gold

That horrible feeling when you realize all the food in your house is from last year

Getting a new year when the old one still works just fine is why none of you can save money. You don’t need to upgrade every year no matter what TikTok tells you.

Ahhhh, a new year! All of our problems from two days ago are completely erased! All crimes forgiven! All state issued ID’s deleted! All governments dissolved! Clean slate! Time to go forage or something.

There’s too much hyperbole in my workplace. I keep getting emails for “outstanding requests” but they’re mediocre requests at best.

I’m too sick to come up with a clever post so just think of the funniest thing you can and pretend I wrote it here

“Macarena is playing at Arby’s” is probably the best text message I’ll get all week, it’s truly a Christmas gift I will treasure

A treadmill but you can increase the incline so much that you’re running upside down

There’s got to be enough ghosts now that we can send a few to not just rich people. Like maybe people who don’t return their shopping carts or people who like Big Bang Theory

Working today is weird because I just had a two day weekend and then the office is closed tomorrow and Wednesday for xmas, so today is both a Monday AND a Friday from a practical standpoint which only exacerbates the persistent feeling that time is meaningless anyway merry Christmas everyone!

We should have more dozen variants. A Baker’s Dozen is 13, but what if we had a Grocer’s Dozen as 10, or a Blacksmith’s Dozen as 4? Life would be so much easier

So my bank app lets me deposit checks with my phone but not cash? Smh

I’ve been talking to coworkers today like I’m a character from Bloodborne or something and everyone is so burnt out they they aren’t even reacting

Pro tip: when you go to make tea, don’t boil your water. It’s flavorless and dull. Bake your water instead to get better browning and flavor. And don’t be afraid to season it some!
