“Dad. Stop being cringe.”

Well, learn to cuddle then, ya furry purr-bag.

My approach to politics is the same as my approach to people:

If you’re not gonna try to be nice to others then FUCK YOU

It is now the press’ job to to shove this in their faces of EVERY GOP MEMBER from ANYwhere in our government and get them on the goddamn RECORD.

I WANT QUOTES.

WE’RE HAVING A FANCY OMELETTE THIS MORNING!

*screws up the omelette pan flip*

…WE’RE HAVING FANCY OVERCOOKED SCRAMBLED EGGS THIS MORNING!

WAYWARD review:

They got the creepy factor down, but the writing felt predictable and melodramatic.

I love Mae Martin as an artist and person, but I don’t think their acting chops were up to par in this one.

That said, Toni Collette could find a way to play the shark in JAWS. GodDAMN she’s great.

Supposed to rain all weekend. Booo.

I’m about to do an hour back and forth to the Girl Scout shop to buy some new badges, missing pins, etc

but also I need some car karaoke time.

Tune suggestions/Spotify links welcome.

(I’m a natural baritone, but I can hit high-G Tenor if I really go for it.)

Whelp, finished getting all the patches on my kid’s Girl Scout vest. Hands are killing me.

Time to pop the gummy, watch TASKMASTER and unwind.

Fall means Stroopwafel season.

(You wouldn’t want to see the latte art from this morning anyway)

Jump the hump today if you’re able to, my fellow internet goons.

It’s Tuesday and due to a cancelled meeting I get to do some one of those nice “full scrub showers” where I can actually take my time and NOT have to worry about the torches and pitchforks outside the door waiting for me to get out.

…these are the things I have to look forward to nowadays.

Overwhelming feeling of unknown ominous “ugh” this morning, so of course I’m listening to LINGER by The Cranberries on loop.

“Happy” Monday, y’all. Go get ‘em today if you can.

How do we calm down after a frustrating Eagles loss?

We put on a Clair de Lune playlist and start caramelizing some onions.

Hey kids - Dad learned how to make Apple Cider slushies in the ice cream maker.

Please clap.

So - my next fun crafty project will be dusting off my old PlayStation Vita, replacing the drifting control sticks, & figuring out the best way to give it some new life.

I’ve heard it makes a great jailbroken emulator?

Any of y’all with experience in any of the above, hit me up with your expertise

Can I just say, thank goodness for the show TASKMASTER for reminding me weekly that there’s so much endearing joy to be had in just silly goofy fun.

Showed my son that you can put Mac and cheese on a hot dog

and lemme tell ya, I needed the “coolest dad ever” win, today.

crazypnut - Twitch Yep - it's FINAL FANTASY TACTICS (The Ivalice Chronicles)!

Impromptu stream!

Yeah, I impulse bought the FINAL FANTASY TACTICS remaster. My inner child just couldn’t resist.

So - here we go. Again.

Feel free to come say hi.

*sigh*

…am I really about to drop $50 on an almost 30 year old game (remaster) just to relive the nostalgia of my childhood?

…
…
…
…

…I mean, it’s FINAL FANTASY TACTICS we’re talking about here - the only correct answer has to be YES.

Well, that was hell. Let’s never do that again.

(Whoever designed THE WHITE PALACE needs to go sit in a corner and think about what they’ve done. And, no, I did NOT attempt the PATH OF PAIN)

I can’t seem to find one article from the standard American major news outlets that outright describes the church attacker as a Trump supporter.

Abroad? Yeah. They’re using the photos folks on these platforms found.

Domestic? I guess they’re afraid to piss off dear leader.

Tried this again, but THIS time:

Fall French Toast BRÛLÉE - croissant bread toasted & soaked in creamy nutmeg egg wash, fried with a thin brûlée layer, topped with more cinnamon, banana, strawberry, crumbled apple cider donut and drizzled in real maple syrup.

Yeah. That’s the winner right there.

I wrote this five years ago to myself to be an affirmation.

I really need to re-read it more often.

As a result, I’ve been ending my streams with a condensed version:

“Be kind to someone today - even if that someone is YOU.”

Anyway, thought y’all could maybe use a little affirmation too.

Introduced my kids to THE GAME OF LIFE board game - and lemme tell ya how many times I shrugged at them and said “…that’s life!” any time they complained about the reason why they lost money.

Ugh, the big basement TV is bricked. Power light on, won’t boot.

DAMMIT.

If you have recommendations for a TV in the 55-65” range for under $500, I’m open to suggestions. I mostly use it for games, movie nights, and the 5.1 surround system.

Also, to be clear, it ain’t the damn Tylenol.

Jeebus.

I love how the Republican Party keeps saying “HAVE MORE EFFIN BABIES YOU NEANDERTHALS” and then immediately turns around to say with a straight effing face “BUT ALSO WE’RE GONNA MAKE SURE YOU’RE IN AS MUCH PAIN AS POSSIBLE” like it’s a damn sales pitch for their cause

LUDWIG with David Mitchell is basically ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING meets SHERLOCK HOLMES meets Mark from PEEP SHOW.

It’s absolutely delightful and charming without any semi-hate-watch groaning so far. And the mystery is actually fun to follow.

“I’m back, bébé…”
- Bender B. Rodriguez

(The coffee beans arrived)

It’s a mental health day for me, which means whimsy escapism! JOY!

I’m turning the rig on now - and I’ll be playing some games most of the eastern-time morning.

Feel free to drop in to just say “hi”, or vent to a friendly ear, or armchair-quarterback my terrible gameplay.

Catch of the day: Ribs

(and also enough pulled pork to feed my lunches all week)

Friggin’ smoker barrel always slaps so hard. I really need to do this more.
