About a week into McNopoly, and I’ve won *so many* small fries. I’m hoping that the app will let me cash them in all at once so I can have a very, very funny meal.

Like, riffing I can do, if I’m speaking as myself. But I haven’t really felt comfortable *pretending* for many years. And I feel like I rediscovered some of that freedom.

Three weeks into my improv class, and I’m glad I made the decision. I’m not sure I’ll necessarily pursue joining a troupe, but I’ve found myself feeling much more loose and comfortable as a performer and presenter; willing to commit to bigger choices in a way I haven’t since high school RPGs.

I would buy every single design of a Square One TV shirt they would sell me. Give me Mathnet, Mr. Glitch, OOPS, the works.

I genuinely wish I could pick “TV edit with nonsense words instead of certain language” as an option on streaming services.

The cat plopped down in my lap today, a rare full-on lap plop. She normally only scoots parallel to my leg, and even then only when nobody is looking. Today, lap plop in full view of the family. I suspect she may have been drinking.

One of my favorites; scratches that Tetris-In-A-Boardgame itch while remaining a wholly unique engine builder.

I have never seen Mega Force (I should remedy that soon), but I have seen this trailer 1,000 times.

SCORCHING HOT TAKE: The correct way to pronounce the name of the tenth installment of the Saw franchise is “SAWX”, with a heavy Boston accent.

Barcades. Still a bar, technically, but usually more of a pinball place with booze than a boozy place with pinball.

Other than that, welcome to the board games club.

Over the last few days, the direct relationship between my coffee intake and my anxiety level has come into focus. I still love coffee, and I’m not giving it up, but I’ve come to realize that if my nerves are already jangled and my heart rate is up, I need to park that next cup for later.
