I’d feel less great about my $55 if they had given me a seat at the back of the balcony. πŸ˜‚ This one is pretty excellent. (Intermission now)

Well, I won Lucky Seat for tomorrow! Is it worth $55? I’m on the fence.

All the thinkpieces about Bluesky don't account for the fact that it's occasionally 100% wall-to-wall baseball on here

Dearest 90s kids who were deeply into alt-rock, today is Gavin Rossdale's 60th birthday.

Just in case you weren't feeling old enough.

wait, there have been only 2 World Series games that went to 18 innings and Brad Paisley sang at both of them???

It’s okay, Jays. You’ll get β€˜em in game four, which starts ten minutes from now.

it's cool to see that this game's starting pitcher is still hanging in there

If we’re measuring in minutes watched, the one month of sportsnet I bought to watch the World Series is already really good value.

We’ve progressed from watching the baseball game to being held hostage by the baseball game.

I was a huge Jays fan in my early teens (the last time they were in the World Series) but after the strike I stopped following baseball very closely. Turns out the game has changed a lot in 32 years!

I’m just a last minute bandwagoner but I cannot handle this! πŸ˜‚

The 90s nostalgia is strong this week. The Blue Jays are in the World Series, and I’ve been listening to a newly released Andrew Lloyd Webber cast album on repeat. It’s like I’m 15 again!

I didn’t subscribe this year (too many jukebox musicals!). I wouldn’t pay full price but sounds like the choreo might make it worth entering lucky seat lottery when MJ heads my way next month.

Omg I forgot this song existed! A classic of the genre for sure.

Yes, before had kids. I feel like kids plus the explosion of social media and internet content in general both contributed to my decline in reading.

When I went to Hawaii in 2023 I read 10 books. I probably haven’t read 10 total since then.

I basically only read on planes and vacations these days, and I don’t spent much time doing either of those things. πŸ˜‚ I have some long flights in November though and am queuing up the EPL e-book holds in preparation.

BNL started out much more comedic! I was in grade 9 when their album Gordon (containing the song β€œGrade 9”) was popular so it has a special place in my heart. πŸ˜‚
