Hello. I have a list. A list of things I have a vague idea are happening and would like to know more about.
James Madison Softball
The Dukes just upset heavy, heavy favorite Oklahoma in their Women’s College World Series opener. I’ve been seeing little things about this team for weeks now, but I missed the chance to jump on the bandwagon. Now, I fear it is too late.
The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich
I have straight-up never had this. Just never think to go get it. Wild move, I know. I hear it’s great. I believe it’s great! I hold no hate in my heart for Popeyes. Need to get back into fast food.
Take Out the Garbage Bins
Sorry, different list. Do need to do that, though.
Birdwatching
I have inadvertently stumbled into the peripheries of some birdwatching communities online, and it seems like they have a lot of fun. Also, there’s been some good bird action in the backyard today. Blue jay with a nut in its mouth. Male grackle puffing itself up and chasing female grackles. Lots of things I would like to appreciate more deeply.
That Football Manager Game
I haven’t played a video game in a long time, but people seem to like Football Manager, and I like the idea of taking some terrible team and building them into a power. That’s what I used to do in NCAA Football on the Playstation 2 and it was a blast. A real blast.
The NBA Playoffs
Watched a game last weekend with some buddies. Enjoyed it. Immediately went back to forgetting they were happening. I am incapable of following the NBA and my only theory as to why is that the NIT fandom has broken the basketball part of my brain.
Meteorology
I’m mad at the weather right now, because it’s a pain in the ass in this house when it rains (backyard floods and the puppy sometimes doesn’t want to pee, which means sometimes I’m out in the rain begging a puppy to pee and that’s a bad look and not a good time for anyone on the property), but prior to the last month and a half or so, I was interested in meteorology. Thought it might be cool to know more about it. Ken Pomeroy does it, or did it, and I like that guy.
Being Calmer
Haven’t been my most calm lately. I know some people do it, though. Maybe I should get into meditation. Did that for a little bit but it became a chore, which was maybe defeating the purpose? Maybe I should walk along water instead. I like walking alongside waterways. Again, might get stressful fitting that into the day, though.
Python, UX, Other Potential Blog-Helping Skills
I tried briefly to learn this, thinking it could be useful for the site, but it seems like I probably need to take an actual class on it, and that introduces all sorts of paralysis. (Which thing to take a class on, which class to take, how to take it, whether that’s a better use of time than the other things I’m doing, etc.)
Dungeons and Dragons
Again, I hear good things.
