So, periodontal surgery last week went off without a hitch; got the gums slashed and stitched, and after the first eighteen hours or so which hurt like hell, the pain’s been very manageable. I’m a little tired of the industrial plastic taste from the dressings installed around the sutures, and am growing rather weary of […]

Another week down and all that…one that’s been pretty dull overall. Got out and spent some time outside, though not yesterday when it was gorgeous and I was stuck in a pre-brief for a CIO in-process review until almost 6pm, but whatever. Still hit my fitness goals every other day, got my stuff done, and […]

Tomorrow, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law starts streaming on D+. If you know me, you know that I’m a full-on Marvel Comics dork, and that I have a special affection for the She-Hulk. I first discovered her in the mid-80s filling in for The Thing in the pages of Fantastic Four, but truly fell in love […]

I maybe kinda don’t know what to do with myself when folks aren’t around. As indicated previously, two of us have been out of town for the long weekend, and the others that are are home are living their own lives, so I’ve been left largely to my own devices for the last few days. […]

I know these aren’t original, un-altered comic panels, but damn if they aren’t completely on-brand for my favorite Marvel 3rd-stringer hero: Indeed; Moon Knight; one of Marvel’s more interesting takes on a particular archetype, has never been a top-tier hero in comics or otherwise. He’s always been a weird, horror-adjacent vigilante with ties, real or […]

The New Year’s celebration, was, for me, pretty much non-existent. On December 31, the most exciting thing I did was buy tires and manage stress. I air-fried some brussells sprouts and broccoli, and went to bed before 9pm. So, so exciting. For New Years’ Day, I did the thing I try to do every year […]

For a short holiday week, I’ve been awfully busy at work trying to line all kinds of things up for the end of the calendar year slow season. Project documentation review/edits, trying to figure out how to support a last-minute test support request when most of the technical experts are on use-or-lose leave, seemingly never-ending […]

This week, apart from that thing I mentioned yesterday, has been pretty bog-standard. It’s been colder around here, so it’s been a little more hiking rather than biking, both because of the temperatures and a general malaise and sinus pressure that comes along with it. Work’s been more of the same, with the addition of […]

Seems I’ve been pushing myself hard this week, even as I intended certain elements to be “low impact,” in the sense that I gave my muscles a bit of a break by leaving the bike in storage and instead spending some time hiking the local trails after work as my chosen fitness-slash-head-clearing activity. Being able […]

So, didn’t love this week at all, apart from a couple of very brief bursts of seratonin. For the most part, thanks to allergies, that muscle pull from last week, garbage weather, long work days, and unexpected adventures in busted ignition switches, tow trucks, and navigating warranty conditions, I spent a lot of the week […]
