Kinda the all of it but particularly that first smell you get

Bathrooms at work have gone from smelling like a sewer to a Petco and I’m not sure if this is an improvement

Friends & I were celebrating a birthday, went to an arcade and wanted to have a beer on a patio after. Went to the nearest bar that had a patio, an inexplicably pirate themed bar that sold brazilian food. They had live music every Thursday. Two guys dressed as pirates played 90s covers all night.

Best part of moving is just watching DVDs for a while because you ain’t got internet set up in the new place

Previously it was just Ryuichi Sakamoto, Hiroshi Yoshimura and Ween.

Listened to one Harold Budd record at work, and now this not logged in YouTube account’s recommendations are all AI 432Hz ambient slop

Indeed they did

I alarm myself with my consistency sometimes

While packing, I found an old box in the back of my closet from when I moved in. It was the perfect size for random stuff from my desk & living room. While taping the box up, I noticed I had written “DESK + ETC” on it five years ago

We’re well past 20 at this point

Turns out alienation is the problem, not doing things

I drove ~1400 miles on I-45, I-10 and I-35 and yet it’s emails that fires this up

Spent five or so days driving and playing music in front of strangers, barely felt stress. Back at work now for three hours and I’ve already nervously picked out like nine hairs from my mustache. Let’s Fucking Go

Dorkin’ out because the drummer for Cherubs let us crash at his house last night, viewing his home was like entering a portal to Slackers-era Austin

Had my first “is this dude on ketamine” customer service interaction getting a burger in Austin

Referring to YouTubers as “Google Subcontractors”

Incredibly easy to convince a 40-60 year old white guy from the suburbs to come to your political rally when the pitch is Free Old 97s show

The Fighting Oligarchy tour having Old 97s open for them in Ft Worth is a brilliant strategy to tap into a Tarrant County voter base: totally checked out dads

Wonderful!!

Buhhhhhh

In mental health news, I did manage to replace “holding a finger gun in my mouth” as a response with “miming that I’m jacking someone off onto my face”. Freud would probably have a lot to say about this, but I’m taking this as a win

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking of as I had to recall where i was in life as I faced this log in screen

Every time I have to recall a password, I first must relive my entire life

Breakfast Objects

It was also Fallout NV related so really this is a Millennial cultural victory

I bought my younger brother a T-shirt and he loves it, I feel like I’ve accomplished one of the hardest cross-generational sibling tasks

When it’s room temp it feels like it simply absorbs directly into my body, healing all it touches. When it’s cold, it’s a tasty treat.

Well, see if that’s the case, lmk

Someone found a guitar outside of work and brought it to me, asking if I wanted it. It’s nice to be thought of, but also I dunno man I’ve got too many to just be stealing beat up classical guitars for no real reason
