Duo-Man. iPhone Duo app turns it into a walkman. I love this. It reminds me of the early iPhone apps when it was just about the fun. I’m not in the market for a Duo, but I’m here for more apps like this.
Turned 40 a few days ago and now I have my first new injury. What I thought was a heel bruise, I’m now 98% certain is plantar fasciitis.
Excuse me while I draft up my last will and testament.
Finished reading: A Walk in the Park by Kevin Fedarko 📚
This was a joy to listen to. As someone who used to frequent national parks as a way to get away from society and enjoy the wilderness, it’s somewhat depressing the desire to commercialize all of our experiences.
Watched: Men in Black II 🍿
Part 2 of the “Xfinity Sucks” movie marathon.
Watched: Men in Black 🍿
No internet for the next few days means diving into dvds. First up is Men in Black — obviously.

It’s becoming more exhausting realizing that nothing will get better. Our culture is being sold out to the highest bidder and all it does is water it down. Making it worse.
Story Time: Xfinity Customer Service
Story time. Got a text from my neighbor saying Xfinity was at my house to install a “filter block”. Don’t know what that is and didn’t have anything scheduled. Come home from work to no service. Spend 2 hours chatting with tech support. It doesn’t work — shocker. They try to schedule a tech but I need to be here. Didn’t seem to be a problem today when the broke my service, but now they can’t do anything if I’m not home. Gotta love the customer service.
I’m only available Thursday — my birthday — so make an appointment for first thing in the morning. I ask to talk to account retention because I’m beyond annoyed. I talk to TJ who doesn’t seem like he’s been on the job long. He tells me at least 6 times that he “gots me because I’m on the loyalty team” — fantastic corporate self talk there. TJ proceeds to spend 15 minutes trying to upsell me on buying Xfinity mobile.
I can’t put into words how much I fucking hate Xfinity.
I then go into a get off my lawn type rant about how accountability and customer service no longer exists and my wonderful girlfriend listens to it all.
We make chili, jalapeño cheddar corn bread, and are watching an old dvd of Men In Black and I feel like I’m a kid again. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug and I’m chasing that high tonight.
Watched: Butterfly Kisses 🍿
Saw this mentioned of a YouTube video about hidden horror movie gems on Amazon Prime. It was great. Found footage type movie but done well and the amount of Baltimore references blew my mind.
I was just looking at my read books on Goodreads and I seriously don’t remember reading some of these. I guess that’s good because I can read them again like it was my first time but damn – where did my memory go?
It’s almost fall and with that cozy and spooky season. Time to figure out the fall TV watching – Gilmore Girls, of course – and all the horror movies.
