I did play the first one, but I feel like I would have enjoyed it. I’m excited about picking this one up, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed by the technical hiccups. Still getting though.

I’m definitely not so concerned with the accessories or even the condition they are in. I know that they have been well loved, and that’s part of why I want them. I can totally get why people want to be on more of the preserved side of things though.

I’ve been watching Chris McFeely’s series The Basics, which is about Transformers characters, lore, toylines, history, and concepts. I love it, and its been a great insight for someone who has been a more than casual fan of Transformers since G1 was on tv, but who hasnt been much into the later series and…

This weekend has been great for me. I originally wanted to spend a lot of time studying, but I ended up playing Animal Crossing and watching movies all weekend. I really needed the recharge. I still have today off, and I’m going to try and spend a lot of it studying.

Spending a lot of time in Animal Crossing this weekend, fishing and collecting all the new critters for this month. We do alot of meal prep, so we actually have very little leftovers because it’s all portioned and frozen ahead of time.

Grats on all the winners this week. I thought I had a good one, but it just didnt make the cut.

I suppose if I was doing any grinding in a game, it’s Animal Crossing and its many collectibles. I just fished up an ocean sunfish this morning, but I’m checking the shop everyday to try and get the arcade machines. I’ve got the mahjong one, but I want the fighting game version.

Just finished taming the flowers on my island on Animal Crossing. Instead of putting up fences, I laid a bunch of paths around them. Then I decided to put paths all over the island, connecting houses and little places of interest. Gonna check out the swimming stuff next. I also want to play some MGSV, Control DLC, and…

I have the same thoughts. These daily threads have been invaluable in centering me and giving me something to look forward to and talk about. I don’t know what Riley or Zach are going to post about, and it really gives me a chance to think and reflect on situations that are outside of my dreaded usual work routine. 

Like many dog owners, I dislike what the 4th of July does to my little pooper. My dad scared me off fireworks and thinks like firecrackers when I was growing up, with tales of friends loosing fingers and seeing one or two gruesome pictures of hands blown apart. They were also commercially illegal in Pennsylvania until…

Thats good to know. I feel reasonably confident in their data protection policies as they are stated, even if their extensions are a bit permissive.

You too! It sounds like your users have been a special kind of hell lately.

I know what you mean. My org is sending out reminders constantly. We are all still mostly remote, but there are a few techs onsite in our buildings and I have to go in occasionally. Sometimes I see these people not using masks or taking any precautions and it sends me into a nervous breakdown.

I need to reschedule a dentist appointment before everything gets shut down again.

I am in the same boat, for basically everything.

Starting to see some faint rays of light that will alleviate my workload, but not enough for me to get my hopes up yet. Software releases can get pushed back and don’t always work as intended. Plus, I may just be trading one devil for another.

Caught a hammerhead shark the other day. That was super fun to pull that monster out of the water.

Happy birthday!

Thankfully, I pushed this through back in February using the IRS free file. It was a headache of an afternoon but worth it. I could see where a workplace deciding to not send out the required forms would hamper that though. I also used this time to pay down more on my student loans. I managed to get two of them gone,…

Don’t feel bad for freezer pizza. There is nothing wrong with it at all! Don’t succumb to the pizza shame.
