1/10/2024: every edit of that "you're listening to" meme that ends with imagine dragons that does like, a thematic cover of the song is missing the point. the whole joke is that radioactive by imagine dragons doesn't fit the hard rock station. that's the whole reason it's funny that's the punchline. annoys me every time i see it.

10/13/2023: i saw a real ice cream truck for the first time today. like the kind that just drives around and plays music. i've lived in the middle of nowhere for my whole life so i've just never experienced this before. and i'm sure the ice cream is good but wow that song is annoying. and it's so loud!
10/12/2023: how much of the reason puerto rico isn't a state is because the government doesn't want to have to ship out new flags to every government building in the country. and change all their letterheads and graphics and stuff.

9/27/2023: if i'm ever in a band i'm gonna name the first album "self titled" and then name the second one actually after the band. just to confuse people.
9/21/2023: the three stooges co op beat em up: you can beat up and push around your co op partners to extend combos and like pass enemies off to each other. some rudimentary physics game elements but not so much that it makes combo execution inconsistent
9/20/2023: playing wilds of eldraine limited makes you understand why yugioh players hate ash so much.
9/14/2023: you know those big tv screens that play the news that show up in movies when they need exposition. those aren't real are they. can you imagine living in an apartment across the street from one of those. they're loud enough that anyone on the sidewalk (or more often standing on a building across from them) can hear them. that would be the worst.

9/4/2023: "lagoon" is such a wonderful word.
9/3/2023: we only make one size of microwave. i think we are limiting ourselves. think about the size of the bag of popcorn you could cook in a really big microwave. (don't talk to me about making it with oil in a skillet that ruins the point)
9/2/2023: pasta salad is so fucked up. we go through all the effort of cooking the pasta and then we let it cool down again. it's wrong and bad and i won't stand for it.
