Slouching Into Summer: Let’s Get Physical
I’ve been 37 for all of one month, though this month alone has aged me a decade. A cluster of recurrent issues at work—ghosts of bad decisions past—have returned to haunt the codebase, and since I’m the last soul standing from that era, the blame has naturally settled on my shoulders like a heavy, unfair…

Streaming Service Ad Load Showdown
I’ve been doing some totally unscientific research on streaming service ad loads lately, and honestly, the results are both fascinating and infuriating.

Spiders, Wires, and Man Meat: Media Diet Omnibus
This week has been filled with old habits and trying new things. Join me as I try to take my favorite PS5 “zone out” game portable, find comfort returning to the magazine aisle, and get drawn back in to my first British soap love thanks to hot shirtless men now that it’s on YouTube. Currently…

Wednesday Morning Update
My co-worker’s sister died and it’s brought a lot of emotions up in me from when my mom died. Ends up, I think I’m just not great at dealing with death or loss. Aside from that, I got a mystery injury that inflamed my left sciatic nerve branch. Walking around with a limp like the…
