I love you, Juan Carlos Bodoque. He/Him. I have too many books.

Staying up beyond 1AM, going to the ER because the “ick” you got from the toddler birthday parties may be serious, and straining the vocal cords was worth it.
I can’t believe IU actually won in football before basketball. But, I am so incredibly happy. Of course now I have to get a hat… or two

Breaking an absence to say:
I met Marty Grabstein, the voice actor for Courage the Cowardly Dog, yesterday and he was a total peach. A very kind and genuine human. Even when things overall suck, there are decent humans in the world, in places where you wouldn’t normally consider.

The college sports transfer portal is so much fun because you can ignore the sports and just judge their decisions on face value.
Example(s):
Went from a Sun Devil to a Tiger. Seems like a downgrade.
Oh! From a Longhorn to a Commodore. Big upgrade.
From a Hokie to a Hoosier. Uh???

Lost in everything yesterday-
Did they really do the Food Pyramid thing? Did they really rip off South Park? Cause it looks like they did…

I’m really ruminating on this. I know nothing I do is really going to fix the horrors all around us. There’s just no way. But, giving into total cynicism on a personal level would be total misery. I want to believe a small gesture does help others, even if it’s naïve. Naïve isn’t always terrible.
Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

I know it’s not very important right now, but I think I’m getting a very cool surprise late Christmas gift involving one of my favorite things- unique college sports mascots and logos.

Studying niche historical events has cost me more money than I care to ponder, but I’m a better person for it.

This “Looksmaxxing” stuff is nonsense. You’re fine the way you are. Cute, even! Don’t believe nonsense. Just be yourself.

A forgotten aspect of yesterday that makes things bleaker is how many friends thought the AI-Maduro picture was real…
We are woefully unprepared for what’s coming there. These were friends that are usually good about identifying it.
Woefully. Unprepared.

This is one of those days I hate being that friend that “knows things” because I’ve been asked about interventions in the Americas all morning and it’s just so damn depressing to recount it all. But, it is good to inform others, as well.

I think I’m going to watch a basketball game now and just try and dissociate for a bit.

This type of morning requires not one, but two, caffeinated beverages. And not for pleasant reasons.

Apparently, Stranger Things did not get the correct pronunciation of Louisville. Anyone in this area knows what a cardinal sin that is. May the lord protect the Duffer Brothers should they have a layover in Muhammed Ali International.

Mom: “Yeah, you get buzzed and turn into John Keats”
Dad: “You’re ‘the Raven’ when you’re sober and ‘Annabel Lee’ when buzzed, what a dork!”
Mom: “It may be, but it’s cute!”
