I have a consistent bedtime routine that ensures I fall asleep each night and wake up fairly well-rested: At 10:00 each night, I turn on my heated blanket at the foot of my bed so my cold feet can be toasty warm. It turns off automatically after a few hours. I try to get into … Read more
This is actually an odd question for me, as I’m an easy laugher–I laugh out loud all the time. I laughed while watching Veep today, I laughed while playing a board game tonight, and I laughed a number of times during Avengers: Endgame. But today on Twitter I saw an image completely out of context … Read more
On Friday night, I saw a movie that I’ve been hoping for ever since I read the Infinity War comic book series as a kid. At least, I think I hoped for it–at the time I may not have been able to conceive that movies of this size and scope would ever be possible. I … Read more
My online dating days ended many years ago when I made my company my greatest love, but I enjoyed my experiences with Match and OkCupid. This was before Tinder was a thing (or at least before I was aware of it). In recent years, I had heard of Tinder’s competitor, Bumble, but I wasn’t aware … Read more
Even after enjoying the first Wreck-It Ralph movie, I had tepid expectations going into the sequel. I think I may have a little bit of fatigue from movies like this and the Lego series where they mix a ton of pop-culture references on the screen. Yet, even more surprisingly, that’s exactly one of the things … Read more
It’s finally happening! This Friday, I will watch the 22nd film in the MCU, Avengers: Endgame. I’m so excited that I’m trying not to think about it, lest I lose sleep. I’m incredibly curious as to how it will play out–I’ve avoided all trailers and information about it, so I really have no idea what … Read more
I walked into an Easter brunch gathering today, and the first thing my best friend’s dad–a man who’s known me since I was 4 years old–said was, “You’re on The Code!” It took a few minutes to figure out what he was talking about. Apparently there is a TV show called The Code (a show … Read more
Have you watched the TV show Schitts Creek? A number of episodes are available on Netflix, so I watched through them a month or so ago. I really enjoyed it. The premise of the show is that a very rich family gets scammed out of their money and is forced to move to a small … Read more
In a few weeks I’ll have the pleasure of attending my favorite game convention, Geekway to the West, here in St. Louis. It’s basically 4 days of playing tons of different board games with people I’ve never met or rarely get to game with. I’ve been keeping a list of games I want to try out for … Read more
My online dating days preceded Tinder, so I’ve never actually swiped right and left as so many millennial have. However, that didn’t stop me from recently wondering: Why isn’t there a Tinder for food? Here’s the idea: The app–we’ll call it Taest–would be geared towards helping you find interesting, delicious dishes in your area. You’re … Read more
