I mixed another song for the 50/90 challenge. I feel like being a better than crappy song was in this one’s grasp but it still fell short. The shitty mix and shittier lead guitars might be part of the reason.
Okay, time to go cook dinner. Wish me luck.
Check it out, I got a little blurry background with my digital point and shoot. Epic, bro.
What is that blue stuff up in the sky? I haven’t seen anything like that in ages. It’s supposed to be grey and gloomy up in the sky, not blue and beautiful. What’s going on?
Well that sucked out loud.
I had fun outside while grilling up my one hamburger. Then I came inside and started eating. I got maybe a third of the way through it when I started feeling queasy and stopped. A few minutes later that one third of a burger came back for another visit.
Shit. Now what do I do?
I set a 15 minute timer. When that runs out I will reassess. Today might be a tough day. It might be a protein bar only kinda day. It’s been months since I’ve had a day like this. Here’s hoping they continue to get rarer and rarer.
Gastric bypass is most definitely not a short cut around weight loss. Definitely, definitively not a short cut.
Clear evidence of a bird living in one of the bird houses!
It’s been a long time since I have had a bad stomach day that couldn’t be chalked up to some clear mistake I made while eating. It happened off and on yesterday. Sometimes I get a minor stomach ache that turns out to be caused by my tiny little redesigned stomach just being empty. I eat something and it goes away. That happened once or twice yesterday, but by dinner time it wasn’t empty anymore but it was still aching.
In the end I chalked it up to gas. At bedtime I was worried it would keep me awake, but I was optimistic it would pass by morning. I was wrong on both counts. I slept okay but it’s almost 1:00pm and I am still really gassy. Not debilitatingly gassy, but enough to feel a little uncomfortable.
Have I been doing anything different over the last few days? I changed my go-to drink two days ago. I had been drinking Chrystal Light lemonade, but I switched to the grape flavor stuff (I forget which brand) I had been drinking for years and years. I’ve never had a problem with it before, is that the problem now? I doubt it, but I switched back to the lemonade. We’ll see.
I am hungry though, so I think I am going to try to have that hamburger that I really wanted yesterday but couldn’t have because of the rain. I’m sure I will let you know how it goes.
A little vague on the question end once again. Favorite game to play? To watch? Board game? Video game? So many options.
Overall I think we need to go with favorite sport, meaning favorite spectator sport. It’s a toss up between baseball and hockey. Red Sox and Bruins, babie.
As for games that I actually play, I think the winner would be EA Sports NHL hockey games for the Playstation. I haven’t played much in the last few years, but it’s still my #1 video game.
Board games should come next on the list. There are a lot of board games I like to play, but do I have a favorite? When I was younger it was Life. More recently it is probably Ticket to Ride. Today? It’s probably both.
What about card games? There are many that are fun to play but nothing that I would consider a favorite. I’m just not that much of a card game guy. If I had to pick one I would say Draw Poker. That’s a fun game.
What about sports that I actually play? I played baseball when I was a kid and loved it. I never played hockey because I can’t skate. You may have heard of me. I am the one guy from New England who never learned to skate. Yup. I’m that one guy. I played soccer and basketball when I was a kid too and had a lot of fun, but they were never even close to as important to me as baseball. Now that I am an old person? I think we have to go with ten-pin bowling. Would that be a sport or a sport-adjacent? Maybe sport-ish? Whatever, it wins.
Well, there you have it. My favorite games. The Red Sox play the Mets tonight at 7:00pm. They also have to finish the game that was suspended due to heavy rain last night. I don’t know what time that’s happening.
I failed to record guitars this morning, but I didn’t fail tonight. I know I wrote the wrap up post for last night today, so you’re getting a second wrap up post. Confusing? Maybe. Do I care? Not really.
I mixed a song this morning but you know that because I posted it even though it was crap. Tonight I put both rhythm and lead guitars onto two songs, and then put leads onto two more. Not the most impressive haul, but not bad given the total failure of my original plans.
Photos for fun.
I wanted to cook a hamburger on the grill for lunch today. When I went upstairs to start prepping it started to rain. Figures. No cookout for me. I thought to myself, maybe I’ll cook dinner on the grill instead.
After I punched out of work I went upstairs to start prepping for dinner. The sky was almost pitch dark. Within minutes we were in the middle of a major thunderstorm. The sky opened and the rain fell in sheets. The lightning was close by and nearly constant. The thunder shook the entire house. No cookout for me.
Friggin’ rain. Mother nature is a complete jerk.
