I have. It’s freaky shit, which is why I remember each case even though it’s only happened to me three times in my life. If you’re not familiar with the phenomenon, here’s the skinny. You fall asleep as you normally do. Maybe you’re flat on your back. Maybe you’re spooning your expensive new waifu pillow.Continue reading “Ever had sleep paralysis?”

And the worst word of the pandemic is…
Learning! Online learning! Virtual learning! Remote learning! In-person learning! On site learning! Learning, learning, learning, learning, learning, learning, learning, learning, learning, learning, learning, learning, learning! Familiarity certainly breeds contempt. The word is now nastier than “moist” and more cringe-inducing than “panties.” If I’m eating a big meal at the dinner table with my family andContinue reading “And the worst word of the pandemic is…”
Is it weird…
…that I’m oddly preoccupied with my bottle of fish oil capsules? Like, it says it’s 100% Alaskan, but how do I know some grouper from Kentucky didn’t sneak his way in there? …that I find it cathartic to see the virtual players I found most frustrating in the first season of my MLB: The ShowContinue reading “Is it weird…”
More on meditation
It turns out this new habit I picked up a few months ago as a means of stress relief is good for so much more than shutting down my own inner monologue. Now, I’m good at it. Most days I can take my seat and close my eyes and slip right into a meditative stateContinue reading “More on meditation”
Got some ideas for ya, Joe
Hours after taking the oath of office, President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. signed about a dozen executive orders rescinding some of his predecessor’s bullshit and charting a course toward a more inclusive, climate conscious future. It’s an excellent start. As the world’s foremost expert on everything, however, I’ve got some more things he could doContinue reading “Got some ideas for ya, Joe”
On 2020
So 2020 sucked, right? That’s the prevailing wisdom. I don’t think that’s quite right. Think back to January and February. How was life back then? What did you expect out of the next twelve months? Chances are that was a better time for you, and that if your outlook wasn’t super rosy you probably hadContinue reading “On 2020”
On the second season finale of The Mandalorian
Spoilers ahead. Thinking back on this most recent season of the only reason anyone subscribes to Disney+, it’s clear that the final scene we got was really the only way for this season to end. I think I’d dismissed it as a possibility simply because I didn’t think Disney had the balls to do it.Continue reading “On the second season finale of The Mandalorian”
Cleveland Baseball Team
Cleveland’s MLB franchise announced last week that it’s going to drop its longstanding Indians nickname. The team had previously moved away from its ghastly logo, which made this move feel like only a matter of time. Bravo, I say. “But it’s only a name!” I’m sure others are saying. And that’s exactly why it shouldContinue reading “Cleveland Baseball Team”
So. Much. Star Wars.
During an investor event on Thursday, Disney announced approximately 18,000,000 new movies and TV shows set in the galaxy far, far away. There are a zillion articles on the internet detailing it all, so I’m going to skip all that and go straight to a hot take. It’s about fucking time. When I look backContinue reading “So. Much. Star Wars.”
On The Mandalorian
The first fourteen episodes of The Mandalorian have left viewers with a ton of questions. Foremost in this fan’s mind is this: how in the hell did it take us almost 40 years to get more good live action Star Wars? Every Star Wars movie since Return of the Jedi has been trash, or fine,Continue reading “On The Mandalorian”
