Perhaps this is informed by the fact that, prior to this week, I didn't get out of the house all that much in the first place, but it only took me two days of social distancing for me to lose my entire fucking mind. While I understand the importance of the practice, I woke up … Continue reading A Mind-Numbing Excess of Tecmo Super Bowl

Late last night, as I took a few minutes out of my busy schedule of binge-reading about airplane crashes to start winding things down for the evening, I received word that the Vikings traded Stefon Diggs. Were I not reasonably confident that COVID-19 will place the coming NFL season into extreme jeopardy, I would be … Continue reading On the Trading of Diggs

Real question – why is avocado toast so popular? I no longer choose to live my life in such a way that I am beefing with foodstuffs I don't fully understand, but when it comes to avocado toast I can no longer stay silent.

What's this? A bunch of match predictions for a pay-per-view that, barring some unforeseen development, I'm almost certainly not going to be able to watch? Sure, why not?

This morning, I woke up bewildered at the realization that I'm married, in my 30s, and live in … Continue reading Too Much Freecell

As a spectacle, the Super Bowl of course remains unmatched, but as a game of football, the Super Bowl is, more … Continue reading Wait, There’s a Game Sunday? A Super Bowl Preview for the Quasi-Interested

Life is really, truly weird sometimes. Friday morning, I was driving around running errands and listening to Moving Pictures, Rush's 1981 masterpiece – I think it's rare for a band's consensus best album to be their actual best album as well, but Moving Pictures is certainly both – and, largely because it had been a … Continue reading We’re Only Immortal For a Limited Time: In Memory of Neil Peart

If you've been watching the Jeopardy! Greatest Of All Time tournament this week, you may have noticed that Brad Rutter, who has won more money than any other contestant in Jeopardy! history, and who has reliably knocked the stuffing out of fellow competitor Ken Jennings in tournament situations, has completely eaten shit during the first … Continue reading Is Brad Rutter Even Trying?
