IT has been remoting into my laptop all morning. Guess it’s as good time as any for coffee breaks and catching up online!

Wow—four NFL posts in a row. What am I a sports social influencer?!
Anyway, I think this may have been the final straw, and AJ Brown gets out of Philadelphia.

Listening to the Eagles broadcast on Sirius XM, and the announcers mentioned that they don’t hope Elliot’s missed extra point doesn’t bite them in the ass. Throwing it to triple coverage doesn’t help, but I think the decision on fourth down would’ve been a lot easier if they were only down by 3.

That’s on me for shutting the game off at the early third quarter, thinking this game was just about done.

My favorite thing about Reddit is reading a comment that’s insightful and I learn something from it. Then I’ll go in my head and say, “Thanks, Bootycheeks4235!”
I feel like this happens a lot on that platform. Such deep thought conversations from such usernames.

It’s great that I’m busy, because my day goes by quicker, but I also miss slacking off and catching up on my socials and writing!

Most of the time, I’m quippy; fast to come up with a retort, and quick on my creative ideas. But when it is time to sit down and put them all down on paper, I’m equivalent to Patrick from SpongeBob in this scene.

Too stressful of a game, but so happy the Seahawks clinched the NFC #1 spot!
Sincerely,
A fan from Pennsylvania, who has no relation whatsoever to anything Seattle, but I started liking the team back in high school (15+ years ago, whew!).

Maybe 2026 is the year I finish things I have started in the past, even if it’s a game I played when I was very young. If only my young self could see me “hopefully” beat Donkey Kong 64, when I used to have dreams of completing back then!

Please enjoy this rambling, where a few times I have given a video game as a gift to someone and was burned by them not wanting the game or the platform of choice.

Gaming Gift-Giving Regrets
For 2026, I present you a random topic: Gaming gifts that were NOT a hit. The first person I bought a game for was for Secret Santa. With a $15 budget, I gifted my person the Xbox game, Portal Knights. They responded that they were not happy with the game. The second story was me surprising a small Twitch streamer with a copy of The Witcher 3, and they responded that they wished I had bought it on a different PC platform. Note to self: Never again!

Probably my last post here for 2025. Who knows, I still have a few hours left.
But to all, Happy New Years!
One more picture of my dog to celebrate! This one’s one of my favorite!

2025 had to be the year of the *wave genre of music.
For all of 2025, I’ve heavily listened to synthwave music, and just a few days ago, I’m now hooked on vaporwave music.
Wonder what will be my music taste in 2026?!
Probably the same, honestly.

It’s the holiday season, so it’s time to bake some chocolate chip cookies, which is my specialty (to me, at least). The other good news is that I had the time to do my daily journals before I got started on baking!
