Weekly Wrap Up (2026.08.22)

I made myself no promises for Blaugust and I still feel like I am failing at it. I started kind of ok, couple of reviews each week, a post on a random topic, this weekly post. But I already "missed" a couple. There was a time when I had dumb high hopes, maybe I still do. I am a big fan of themey days, even if they are not explicit. In an ideal world each day would have like two posts minimum. Monday - Movie, Marvel LegendsTuesday - TransformersWednesday - Video GameThursday - Non Marvel/Transformers ToysFriday - Music, Star Wars…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.08.16)

Its the third week of Blaugust. I think. I have not really been keeping track honestly, I don't really care about "theme weeks" this year. I got a new car… for work. Its not, my car, but its my car to use. Its nothing fancy but it has some "fancy stuff" I have never really used before like lane assist and Android Auto. Too bad the bass sucks on the stereo. My music sounds so weak ass. Its not the EQ either, I checked that. Its convenient, but also it has all these work rules and monitoring, which is a…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.08.08)

Welcome to Blaugust week 2, which conveniently just lands on these Saturday Weekly things. This one is much more akin to "normal activities" for these posts. I've pretty much recovered from last week's illness issues, the worst part of all that is not feeling like, sick sick, but still feeling lethargic and tired. Because then it's all just, being super aware of everything you're not doing. Other than that not a lot of excitement. We got some quotes for replacing the roof, they were in the expected price range. I also have been contemplating some work related changes that I'm…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.08.01)

Welcome to Blaugust edition. I'm not doing a welcome post, I've already done that at least once or twice or maybe thrice now, the basic premise is the same. Something something blog technically from like 1999 on Geocities, something something Ramen Junkie all over the web, something something I supposedly write rambling reviews when I am not kind of irritated and a little bummed out over everything being shitty. But Saturday isn't for Blaugust intros, Saturday is for weekly wrap ups, where I make commentary about shit I did or bought this week. It's the only thing I seem to…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.25)

These are starting to get long, its almost like I should just blog smaller posts more. I have not been following it but I caught the end of the World Cup last weekend while at my parent's house for a visit. I don't understand fútbol at all. I mean I do, I get the gist, but like, they added 20 minutes because no one had scored? Then randomly added another 5 minutes? Maybe because the refs kept eating up the clock looking at injuries? Anyway, it was kind of exciting at the end, at least. In other "fun" times this…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.18)

It looks like my work trips to St Louis are going to continue for the foreseeable future, so I guess I'll need to work out some sort of fun routine there. Maybe see if there are any good music or collectible shops int he area down there for when I am down that way. Otherwise it's been a pretty standard issue week. Nothing much special happening, just the usual nonsense. Music Last Sunday was another MCCD Free concert. This one was Broken Brogue, an Irish group doing Irish music. Well, probably Irish. The lead guy said he was Irish and…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.11)

Maybe one day I will do real blog posts again. I mean, technically this is probably closer to "real blogging" than silly reviews or whatever. I actually have been feeling… more into the idea again lately, I guess. Technically the Fourth of July happened after last post, I went down to the bridge and watched the city fireworks as we often do. No fun travel food this week. I just got QDOBA and another, different Crazy Bowl dish. I did look up and found a ramen place near the office down there, but I've been working an hour earlier than…
