Game Day

This post is hours late, but today there was an epic game day in our house. Trivial Pursuit was an epic battle between me and Jen and Harry. Jen won, but I had all six pieces when she got her last question correct.

That’s What I Get for Jumping on the Wagon

Figures, right? I start playing Wordle. I play for a couple of weeks and never get good, but do pretty well. Then, just as it’s becoming a regular part of my daily routine, fucking New York Times buys it.

Damn it.

The best part of the silly little game was that it wasn’t owned by some awful soulless corporation. It was just a guy with some coding skills keeping the entire English speaking world entertained for two minutes a day.

Now?

Damn it.

Pulled it Out

Wordle, babie! I was stuck bad on this one. Nothing was going right. Then, like magic, in round five I pulled that word right outa my butt (figuratively speaking, of course)!

Kick ass!

Wordle Fail

I think today was my ninth or 10th time playing Wordle. Not only was it my first fail, but it’s the first time I even needed to get to the sixth attempt.

I feel like such a loser, vocabularily* speaking.

The good news is we are going to do a Book of Boba Fett watch party with Harry in about an hour. That should make me feel better.

*Did I just use the word “vocabulary” as the basis for inventing a new word? I think I did. Is that irony?

Lazy Sunday

It’s Sunday and Jen and I are just hanging out in the office. We’re in the midst of a grande experiment to improve one facet of our existence. It’s something incredibly important that everyone deals with every day……..

Pillows.

We’re trying to up our pillow game, big time. Jen ordered some pillows the other day and we used them last night. They were very firm. Much firmer than we’ve ever used before. Jen didn’t like them. I haven’t really decided yet. Too firm? Maybe. Too firm to use? I don’t know. We are trying another set of pillows next that are a little squishier. I expect they will be Goldilox: just right.

What else is going on? I am going to have a painful week at work this week, so I’m enjoying the calm today. I’ll pay for it later. I have another day off this week too. Wednesday. That’s three consecutive Wednesdays I’ve been out of work. The other two had actual reasons. This week is just because I had to burn eight hours of vacation time in order to avoid maxing out at the end of the month. I will likely have to do a couple of days in February too, but at least I can use the RPM Challenge as my excuse.

I am a little sad today. A few weeks ago I ordered a pile of new clothes. Two t-shirts didn’t come quickly, but they finally came at the end of last week. The two shirts came from the Rush Backstage store. Yup. I’m wearing my fav band on a t-shirt. Unfortunately, the first of the two that I’ve tried on is really small. It has made me sad. I guess I am going to have to go through a weight loss surgery process in order to get smaller so the shirt will fit. I’m guessing the second band shirt is going to be small too, but I haven’t tried it on yet.

I can’t think of anything else to write about. Jen picked up a copy of NHL ’22 and I started playing it yesterday. Maybe I’ll sneak in another game tonight. I’m playing through the Spengler Cup. I have no idea how that tournament works, but I haven’t lost a game yet. I have it on the lowest difficulty level though, so if I lose a game it means I royally suck.

Okay. Ms Patches just came into the room and she’s meowing for attention. I think I’ll post this and go pet her. Bye for now.

Jen Got it in Three

I’ve played five times. I got it in four twice and five three times. I haven’t needed the sixth try yet. My luck will run out soon enough.

Bugs

Did I run into a world of bugs in World of Warcraft? I was dying every five seconds and my whole setup magically disappeared for a while. What’s going on, folks? I’m just trying to kill boars with my level 13 guy. Help a depressed red head out, won’t ya?
