Job hunting sucks. It sucks to do now, it sucked to do at all times prior to now, and it will suck in all possible futures. It is a process designed to maximize fear, self-consciousness, and indignity, as potential employers go on a Unicorn hunt to find the one true candidate who provides a maximal … Continue reading Job Hunting Sucks

Earlier today, the Minnesota Vikings announced the firing of offensive coordinator John DeFilippo after employing him in that capacity for all of 13 total games. While it may seem (and perhaps is) unfair to fire the guy after two consecutive bad road games in two notoriously difficult places to play, the entire rest of the … Continue reading Hype Is A Curse: A Preliminary Eulogy for the 2018 Minnesota Vikings

In a show of tremendous responsibility, I spent last night, a Monday, staying up to ungodly hours pounding beers, playing video games, and watching the Vikings suck. Now it is Tuesday, I haven't written anything since last week, I'm on five and a half hours of sleep, and I haven't had any coffee yet, because … Continue reading Blogging While Hungover: A Guide

Now we're here at our new apartment, there's internet, and we're unpacked enough that I have the mental … Continue reading Unrelated Thoughts on Moving

Since I'm not working right now, I spend a lot of time chilling at home with my dog. (His name is Geordie, and he is cuter than your dog). As a result of our extended time together, I recently gained the ability to jump into his mind and read his thoughts. Here are some of … Continue reading Dog Thoughts

-Matt Riddle vs. Kassius Ohno: NR. I love squashes but I do not rate them. -Kairi Sane vs. Shayna Baszler(c) ,NXT Women's Championship Match (2 out of 3 Falls Match): Excellent match all around, packing a lot of stuff into a relatively short time frame. I would have liked it if they siphoned off a … Continue reading (Mostly) Spoiler Free Ratings for NXT Takeover: War Games

Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Why in the blue hell did a do a Power Rankings list last week? I have no idea what I'm even talking about in doing this list. Maybe, if this had been a few years ago, when I still made it a point to try and watch most of … Continue reading NFL Power Rankings, Week 11

Playing Dungeons & Dragons is fun as hell. This isn't an opinion, mind you, it's a dang fact. True, the game's very name conjures up many associations, not all of which are positive. While we as a society enjoy the benefits (and the drawbacks) of not living in an age where people are afraid of … Continue reading Unsolicited Advice for New and Aspiring Dungeon Masters
