Video game and basketball fan. Bad at words but I try. Once and hopefully future Pokemon player/coach/podcaster.
The worst part about finishing a game is the weeks long choice paralysis about what game to start next.

Played a Chinese romcom VMF game and got absolutely annihilated by the final chapter twist and ending options. I might need to start playing more of these.

Got my phone mostly working again. All my contacts are gone though as well as call and text logs. However, photo messages and numbers associated are still there just with all texts removed. I've been going through each of them and trying to determine who is who that way. It sucks but it's kinda fun.

Might write more about them somewhere later but in case I don't here were my favorite 10 games and albums of 2025.

My(?) phone returned.
The samsung cloud backup is gone.
Google won't let me sign in without me hitting accept on a message sent to "my android device". Which I cannot receive because this is that is the same device I'm trying to sign in to.

Spending my morning off organizing all my loose not in use cables. So far 50 cables and 16 different types. I sure do have a lot of random audio cables for someone who hates setting up audio.

2 more hours talking to various Samsung support departments. At this time they don't know where my phone is or when they lost track of it.

Got an email the 19th saying my phones had shipped on the 20th. The tracking number attached to the email was the same already used same number they've sent for everything else. They attached a repair statement pdf that is just a screenshot of their sites log in screen.

Refreshing a dozen tabs of tracking numbers and watching all the gifts I sent get delayed or lost, like that scene from Independence Day where they watch all their missiles on radar disappear before reaching the saucer.

Pet store that moved across the street dropped off a card and coupons at work today. They miss having Taro here almost as much as I do. (Bonus old Taro pics that didn't make the cut for the calendar I was making last week)

A package arrived today marked “extremely urgent” inside was a questionnaire about why my phone needed repair, instructions on how to use the box that showed up 3 days ago, and a printed shipping label. A label with the exact tracking number as the one I printed and shipped last week Tuesday.
After 4 people and 90 minutes they determined that the phone I received was supposed to be an empty box for me to send my phone in. I'm to now go to UPS and return to sender. Then they'll put my real phone in that box and ship it back to me. I'm pretty sure he was just making stuff up.

Still no progress on my phone. Credit card replacement never showed up in the mail. Laptop is blue-screening. 3 different weather alerts in my area. This is not quite the holiday season I was hoping for.

So my phone hasn’t even gotten to the Samsung repair center yet but I just received someone else’s repaired phone?!

Oh cool the label they provided me apparently got their own postal code wrong. I'm never getting my phone back am I?

After a month of searching and thinking I finally made my first purchase for the holidays. It was for dogs. I don’t know that I have enough time left to think of things for humans. I should have asked for lists.

Don't forget to listen to December 14th XXXX while it's still December 14th.
This might be my favorite new album of 2025. These kids rule.

Phone won't even get to the repair center for another week. This sucks. Still under warranty so it's free, but If I knew this would be a multiple week issue I would have just paid a local repair place instead.

Sent my phone out for repairs before realizing I should probably have given some people a heads up that I can't take calls or texts for the next few days.

Still sitting under 100 championship points for VGC and the season is like 40% over. Guess I'll let the outcome of this football game decide if I want to pack it in or bear down.

It's candle day AND bandcamp Friday. They couldn't wait until the end of the month? I just paid rent and still need to do all my holiday shopping.

I guess now is as good a time as any to remind people that bandcamp is a great way to not only support artists but also discover music.
Some of my favorite albums this year I found playing with the advanced search, and some have criminally low sales for how good they are.

Me Tuesday: I'm not going to cook, clean or do anything this Thanksgiving. I need a break.
Me by 11am on Thanksgiving: Well I set up all my holiday decorations, I've almost finished my 2nd load of laundry today and I have 3 things in the oven. I may have forgotten the plan.
