I worked at a Ben & Jerry’s for two summers in college. We got a free scoop of ice cream on every shift (such perks!) and regularly “tested” the product during down time. Good times.

Cue the nutters who think this is part of some “(((globalist)))“ or Chinese plot to get everyone to eat plant-based burgers that turn us all transexual and ruin the economy. Didn’t Alex Jones just talk about resorting to cannibalism over the weekend?

Her: My head hurts. My skin is dry. I’m so dehydrated.

If music is playing out loud then the missus has final say (nothing too screamy) so I usually opt for Stevie Wonder Radio, Yacht Rock Radio, or Electric Light Orchestra Radio on Pandora. Stevie Wonder Radio is excellent. All Motown stuff. ELO is basically Guardians of the Galaxy soundtracks plus The Beatles. If I have…

I saw Gojira on their first North American tour back in 2007. They were the openers followed by Machinehead, Trivium, and Lamb of God.

Houndoom sucks, is what I’m saying.

Bought Borderlands on Monday and played for a bit last night. So far so good. Opted for the beast master. Might change the character name to Gar. If you don’t know why then you’re too young or maybe just uncultured or something. No judgement here. Just pity that you missed out.

Good call on the video calls. We Zoom with my family every Sunday and it definitely makes me feel better. Also have a video conference call with my team at work once a week to check in. It’s good to talk to them and not just rely on text conversations.

My schedule is mainly wake up, shower, eat breakfast, and then remote in to work and take the phones over from my boss who keeps them overnight. Lunch around noon, exercise after work, take a (minimum) 20-minute walk, and then make dinner. The lady exercises before lunch but I don’t want to have to field a call in the…

Tiebreaker: Kale vs. Collards

I love it. Kinda poignant these days since people in the movie didn’t touch one another due to all the infectious diseases that plagued their past. The air-five seemed hilarious back when the movie came out but now it makes a lot more sense.

The missus enjoyed her birthday last week. I got her a cake, some flowers, and ice cream (dairy-free pint for her, full-on dairy pint for me). She got cards from my folks as well as my sister and her kids who made some Harry Potter-themed presents for her. Also had a video chat with her sister. Overall it was a good…

Today’s my fiancé’s birthday. She doesn’t want to think about it since we can’t go anywhere, see friends, and the world is in a shitty place. Her parents called earlier to wish her happy birthday and she gritted her teeth through it.

Doritos are an abomination and I’m still not over them beating tortilla chips in that Deadspin bracket years ago. Fuck, man, was that five years ago? Pretty sure that was the reason Phillip Seymore Hoffman OD’d on heroin.

Code Red was kind of tasty.

Fun(?) story: I’ve motorboated that Mary statue at the store in Chicago. I attended a birthday dinner, sat next to a friend of a friend, and she offered to buy me a drink if I motorboated the statue. The statue was not the only thing I motorboated that night. Good times.

Had a Zoom chat last night with my sister’s family and my parents. That helped a lot. I’ve done a couple phone calls but the video chat was nice and helped ease my mind a bit. Glad to see they’re all doing well, taking things seriously, and handling things as well as they can. It was nice to talk to someone other than…

I only ever got his tamales once but, man, did they hit the spot. We were drowning ourselves at Delilah’s ($4 Maker’s and gingers, whaaaat?!?) and he came through just past midnight. Bought one for each of the four of us. They were like little hugs on the inside. Cheesy, chicken-filled hugs. Bless that man.

Tom Nook was offsetting but the rest of these are quite clever.

I have not done GO League. Not even sure what to do with that. A friend of mine played enough to get a Pikachu Libre outfit for her trainer. Do want.
