I am a little over 24 hours from being able to punt the client MacBook that is constantly a baffling and frustrating complete disaster to use into the FRIGGIN’ SEA.
(I am an approximately 6 hours from anything resembling a sea, the commute will be worth it.)
I just tried to double tap my iPad to skip 30 seconds forward on a work Zoom call if you’re wondering the status of my attention span right now.
Resisting the strong urge to read/watch all the hands on Zelda: TotK previews from yesterday. Game is just 2 weeks away and after the official Nintendo videos I was already plenty hyped, now it’s all just risking spoiling discovering things myself.
Watching Flight of the Navigator with the kids, and in the first 10 minutes we see David and his brother ride unbuckled and wrestling in the back of a station wagon, find out he keeps a giant box of fireworks next to his bed, and then that his parents expect his 8 year old brother to walk home in the dark in the woods and across the train tracks.
The 80s man.
First time I’ve seen this since the 80s myself. All I could remember was thinking it was scary, which watching again with my own 7 year old makes me realize I must have been quite the weenie. She really enjoyed the early mystery and then the tiny cute alien, and unlike her dad didn’t find it one bit scary. It was fun watching it with her and I enjoyed the first 2/3rds, but when the alien ship turns into Pee Wee Herman it lost me a bit for a while before picking up again towards the end.

With the ubiquity and ease of ride sharing services these days, I do not think it is physically possible for anyone to care so much about a person they’d drive 90 minutes at 4:30 in the morning for them.
(I discovered this fact after briefly misunderstanding my wife and thinking she had just asked me to do so. Love you dear!!)
I just had to buy reading glasses at Target in order to be able to read my phone in case anyone was wondering how old I am over here. ??
(Apparently in order to make my new contacts prescription strong enough to see far, it is now making my near vision worse.)
My handwriting has atrophied even faster in last 3 years than it already was before WFH.
I mean come on. WTF could this possibly say? Lemon? ?
“You shut me down… No I shut myself down! ”
I’ve never had a Mac that caused me any troubles, this client laptop is so loaded with unnecessary corporate garbage that it’s constantly freaking out, shutting down, beach balling. After two years I finally get to send it back in a month. ?
(I actually like the project/client, but this laptop has been such a beating for so, so long.)
Is this a thing people in New York actually eat? Did Grimaldi’s send their April Fools’ email way late?
Trolling my daughters with Midjourney prompts as they argue over who gets to help with the next creation: “dad with two annoying daughters, who are crying because they just got in trouble, pixar style”
Bottom right one was our favorite, not sure why the other ones ended up with clown makeup. Ha.
