To think, just a moment ago, I was excited to watch the Dbacks and Suns this afternoon.

1. Doug McKenzie
2. Dug (the dog from "Up")
3. Doug Heffernan (King of Queens)
4.Dr. Doug Ross (Clooney on "ER")
5. ...uh, Doug E. Doug's character from "Cool Runnings"?

That 9-day, 9-game road trip went about as well as I could have hoped. #Dbacks

Look, I appreciate MLB's gesture, but they should know that I don't turn 42 until June.

Until he started doing College Gameday, I half thought that he was incapable of sitting.

Berthiaume just jinxed ERod -- he said he hasn't given up an extra-base hit all season. The VERY NEXT BATTER hits a homer. #Dbacks

There aren't many things as fun as a Corbin Carroll triple.

Harrison Whitaker -- he won like 14 games earlier this (and last) season.

I can't wait to see him face off against Harrison in the TOC.

Why yes, I do wave back to Jamie Ding on Jeopardy! We all do in this house.

My core beliefs:
Bear Down Arizona
Go Dbacks
Go Suns
Outer Wilds is the best video game ever made
Every Kubrick movie is great, 2001 #1
Farts in silence are a funny punctuation
No band will be better than The Beatles
Belief in any god is dumb to me
Weird Al should do the Super Bowl Halftime Show

21 seasons of Taskmaster seems like a lot but it's not nearly enough

We need ONE OUT. Just one. Throw a strike?

AUGGGGHHHHH, THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A DBACKS FAN

Also, that's four straight 2-0 leads to start the season, so maybe I should be nervous.

*Gabi, my mistake.

Bottom of the first was a good omen, as the Dbacks did Dbacks things: Ketel singled and stole second, Corbin TRIPLED, Gerry worked for a walk, and Gabby RBI FC and legged it out to avoid a double play. 2-0 against Verlander.

Wow, hell of a ending. I kinda wanted a shot at Duke, but I applaud UConn for taking them down. For now, I can join my Ohio State alum family and exclaim, BEAT MICHIGAN! Looking forward to next weekend. #BearDown

In the Villanova-Utah State game, the ball got stuck between a camera and the top of the backboard. The broadcast cut to replays. I wanted to see how they dislodged it!

ERod pitches 4.1 near-perfect innings, Geno Suarez hits the go-ahead RBI double. DBACKS FANS REJOICE!!

If Geno Suarez wins WBC MVP, it will make me so happy.

Top game shows ever:

1. Jeopardy!
2. Only Connect
3. Beat the Schwab
4. Password (classic)
5. Pyramid (any host, but really Dick Clark)
6. Two-Minute Drill
7. What's My Line?
8. The Chase
9. Double Dare (Marc Summers version)
10. Double Dare (Alex Trebek version)

As a Nals fan, I just know Kyler is gonna be great elsewhere and I'll be so mad. It's Garrison Hearst, Aeneas Williams, Simeon Rice et al all over again.

Outer Wilds, Legend of Zelda, Tunic, Myst, Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!, Super Mario Bros., Yakuza 0, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Blue Prince

OK, I'll jump into the "9 games" thing:

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.

It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

Augh! Of COURSE this game comes to sudden death.

Not often am I glad to be awake this early, but this first period has been a treat. Go Tkachuk bros (and reporter Brian Boucher), keep Coyote names alive!

windows pcs are generally for casual users who mostly use it for web browsing and maybe a little gaming. linux is nearly identical except there's no keyboard. macs are for hardcore experts and professionals who take on the toughest tasks, such as drawing three-dimensional rectangles and squares

if Czechia has a player in the penalty box but remains aggressive about pressuring their opponents with the puck, they call that the four Czech forecheck
