Anyway, happy Super Bowl Weekend from a dude-bro-dad-nerd who is currently laying down with a raging sinus infection and suddenly has time on his hands to think about this stuff.

3.) Fantasy Football is an RPG, full stop. You are literally role playing as a GM and a Head Coach while analyzing stats (which, let’s be honest, are really just Ability Scores) and strategizing which of your players to deploy week after week.

2.) Screaming at your television while your team is losing is akin to raging over a game loss in Magic: The Gathering, only you have nothing to do with the actual result.

1.) Putting on a player’s jersey and painting your face with your team’s colors is just cosplay.

As someone who enjoys both communities, I have to say…football fans have way more in common with nerds than they think.

Friends, I love ya, but if you send me multiple videos a day, they’re getting filed under “homework”. Can we just go back to memes and gifs so I can get out of social debt, or do I already sound like a grumpy old man?

Dammit…I love the MTG x TMNT crossover…

I really can’t even begin to explain how much I want more of Paul Ruddish’s Mickey Mouse…

Inadvertently or not, whatever 4D chess move Cracker Barrel just pulled actually worked on me…now I’m just thinking about how I want their food.

Today I learned that if I blend a little bit of peanut butter, a banana, blueberries, coconut yogurt and almond milk…my daughter thinks she’s having dessert for breakfast!

Even snuck some spinach in there. 😎

Why am I suddenly sitting down and reading the flyer from Trader Joe’s…and enjoying it?!

Temporary post-move solution, but should get the job done for the next couple of weeks!

My toddler will go from being sick and groggy to being excited and energetically bouncing around in less than five minutes and I just wish she would make up her mind already.

I love me some good ol’ Pixar, but my goodness…Toy Story 2 is still just next level.

They’re already the ones responsible for the performances too! They’re effectively recasts without even getting to take full ownership over their own performances.

Like…why even bother to put a CGI skin of Harrison Ford over Anthony Ingruber as Indiana Jones when he already looks just like him?! 🤦‍♂️

The ironic piece to this deepfake shenanigans is that the stand in performers for these legacy characters already have to resemble the original actors for the technology to even remotely work…so, really, a decent hair/makeup job would be less jarring and more believable! And less expensive!

Graphic tee life…

I am so excited to be done with wallpaper forever…

I’ve been a grumpy old man since I was 3. It is what it is.

If you put your leftover pizza in the microwave, we need to have a serious discussion…

Rest in peace, my favorite cereal…Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios, you were my one and only…

I am so not used to eating at fancy restaurants. I completely wolfed down my salmon yesterday only to realize everyone else was about a third of the way done with their plates.

Don’t tempt me with a good time!

As long as we can also all agree that Return of the Jedi is definitely Muppets in Space!

I’m pumped for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, but I also have to admit that it feels like one of those troll posts where someone attaches a big name director and every working A-lister under the sun to adapt a major epic. Haha!

Starting to plot out the vocal booth. Going to build one instead of going with a commercial ready option. Triple walled, sound isolated and purpose built for voiceover.

I won’t be physically building it until our basement is finished, but I will be documenting the entire process in epic tees.

Someone help me…

…okay, yeah, I did it again just now.

Seriously, though…why is the voice acting in this show so good?!

Confession…I thought that I was watching Bluey with my wife and toddler, only to realize they’d left the room several minutes prior and I’d just been watching the show by myself that entire time.

Also, this may or may not have not been the first time…
