Love to try to explain how a Lumen outage affects everything to a guy that can’t give me a confident response to “what is your address”

Look things haven’t been great and I’m cranky and annoyed but Jesus fuck there’s a whole category of person that lives in a state of perpetual enraged bewilderment because they simply refuse to integrate new information

Man it’s real fuckin hard to read about how awesome the race was yesterday when you’re feeling like ass after getting 8 vials of blood removed (again) There’s so much bigger/ worse happening than “feeling kinda ass most of the time” but man this shit grinds you down.

Got hired at 21 by an engineering firm on a WILD salary, just “holy shit I can’t believe this is really happening to me” money Turns out if you’re expected to work like 80 hours a week that math changes pretty dramatically. I lasted 2 weeks.

No hate now but 2002 me is out there fighting this list in a VFW parking lot

Partner went to the fancy farmstand a few towns over and brought back arancini (I LOVE arancini) It came, as these usually do, with a little container of sauce Friends I was NOT PREPARED for that sauce to be goddamn Buffalo sauce.

Forget ketchup on pasta or pineapple on pizza this is a culinary declaration of war. AT LEAST LABEL IT JESUS FUCK YOU ASSHOLES JUMPSCARED MY WHOLE GODDAMN MOUTH

Been digging through a bunch of old horror movies I haven’t seen in decades and HOLY SHIT if you haven’t seen Messiah of Evil you need to remedy that immediately

The Blood on Satans Claw is fantastic - it doesn’t end the way I remember it, but I haven’t seen it in decades so

So I had a bit of a bear encounter on the way to work I was riding up the bike path next to the river, and a mom w two cubs comes loping out of the bushes to my right I slow WAY down, let them trundle up the path, and they ducked into the undergrowth on the left

There was a sanitation truck pulling in to pick up a dumpster (there was a big river clean up over the weekend) and I told the driver that there was a mom and cubs and to keep her head up if she got out of the truck.

She was clearly just playing “Wet The Humans Pants” with her cubs, because they came bounding out behind her and they all simultaneously pivoted and started running back up the path again.

I gave them a few mins, then started riding again. Bears live here, it’s nbd, just don’t mess with them and keep your trash out of reach. However, seems like this bear wanted to teach her cubs a life lesson I get about 20 feet up the path and she charges out of the bushes
