    The first book in a series, it started slow but by the end, I was hooked; reading this took me back to my World of Warcraft days.

  • The world is just…not a great place right now (in my opinion, with my viewpoints of humanity and our existence in the universe) but one can always count on John Oliver for a great laugh. 📺

    Even though “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” makes me want to scream at times, it also makes me laugh.

  • 🎮 Fired up the Switch to take a stroll down memory lane; showing my age but I remember playing the original Final Fantasy on the NES, back in the day. 🤣

    I’m enjoying the remake, the quality of life improvements (such as being able to save anywhere) make it feel a little bit more modern. 📷

  • Finished up my taxes on my lunch break and realized this is the first time since I started filing taxes I didn’t wait until April to file. 🫨

  • 📚 There is a phrase from a book I read in my adolescence that’s just been bouncing around in my head the past few weeks:

    People are stupid. They can be made to believe any lie because either they want to believe it's true or because they are afraid it's true.

    Wizard's First Rule - chapter 36, page 397

    Locally speaking, I always understood this to be true but it’s rather remarkable and horrifying to see it happen before your eyes…

  • One can never ever trust FedEx when they give delivery dates / times. #burnedEveryTime

  • Saw this online somewhere today and it absolutely hit a chord in me; any time I walk on a university campus, with every passing year, I feel older and older. 🤣

    A campus walkway is lined with trees and flags bearing the 'UTA' logo, featuring a humorous caption about aging and college students.
