something something muscle memory...

reloaded Fortnite for the first time in years (?) and finished second in my first battle royale back. this game has changed A LOT since I last played. no idea if I can catch up to the meta on this one.

Happy Comic Book Day! Three new beginnings for a few of my favorite heroes, and I love the short stories in The Brave and The Bold. Still not a fan of Wally's new costume though.

Two days into the week and Arthur has had enough. Bring on the weekend.

got my Extra Life Charity 2024 Playmat and the Pixel Ajani artwork is amazing! perfect to go with the Secret Lair drop, with funds raised going directly to the Wizards of the Coast Autism Center Development Fund at Seattle Children's. #ExtraLife #SeattleExtraLife

If you missed my appearance at Seattle Extra Life Game On event, now you can watch it on Twitch. Yes, I was apparently being very mysterious with the shadowed face, but the hat logo was more important. #extralife #seattleextralife

Why go out when I can do it better in #larryskitchen ?? 🍔

wow. no more Foursquare City Guide app as of Dec. 15. it was a great app to find places and restaurants in all the cities I've visited and lived. plus the lists were great to remind me of places I wanted to visit. Swarm is allegedly getting new features in the near future, but it just won't be the same.

Shakshuka combines a spicy tomato sauce with the deliciousness of a soft cooked egg. And confounded my many attempts to get it right until I divided up the tasks. Perfection. #larryskitchen

a good night's sleep just isn't in the plans sometimes...

If I had a tombstone, this would be appropriate for me. And definitely hit “Y” repeatedly. 🎮

K: “How many dice do you have?”

Me (quizzically): “Is that a trick question?”

Narrator: This was not all of the dice in his possession.

Beef stroganoff is a delightful, hearty dish that just feels warm inside. Sometimes, the comfort in comfort food needs a bigger hug. By replacing the sirloin steak with ground beef, it evokes feelings of home. No, I can’t explain it. I just eat it. #larryskitchen

I love Mexican street corn, especially when the corn is still hot, the cheese is soft, and the spices just tingle. What I do not love is the mess I make trying to eat it off the cob. But what if there was no cob? #larryskitchen

when it is New Comics Day, I try to spend the first moments of the day reading all the new selections (Nightwing, World's Finest, Titans). that way, I can talk with my friends about great moments, weird stuff, and the future of story lines.

the final issue of the Tom Taylor story in Nightwing is perfectly done. such a beautiful complete story from Tom, Bruno, Adriano, Caio, and Wes.

but Wally's new costume in Titans is ... not great. ugh.

Let’s see if Mario and friends can succeed where others have failed in getting me out of bed without hitting the snooze a bazillion times. #Alarmo

Trying out a new recipe layout so there is less scrolling while you are cooking. And what better way to start than with Crab Hush Puppies from #larryskitchen

I didn’t even have to bait the trap with a tuna fish sandwich. #CalvinAndHobbes
