Today my wife and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, which is a pretty crazy landmark. It has flown by. We are heading to Morro Bay this weekend. I'm actually racing a half-ironman on Saturday, so it is more of a race-cation, but she seems to be onboard with it. I'll take her out to a nice dinner.

It's a political term used for the practice of traveling around and making speeches to different towns. It comes from the practice of standing on an actual stump in towns that didn't have a stage. That might be a bit of an apocryphal story, but the idiom remains.

Yeah, the one guy brought up the differences between race and nationality, and he was on point. The Egyptian comedian brought up Israel more than once, so it's pretty clear his anger on this casting is deeper than skin color. He also seems pretty concerned with Kevin Hart not building the pyramids. It's hard to take cries of "Stealing my culture!" over a Netflix documentary seriously when stuff like Rhodesia is in the history books.

I think Jennifer Lawrence is J-Law. I hate that I know these things. I also realized that with Air and The Mother, I basically spent the weekend with Bennifer.

The Mother - J-Lo kills people to protect her daughter. We watched on mother's day, so it fit the vibe, I guess. It was pretty average, but the acting was decent. Just don't think about the villains too hard. Joseph Fiennes is always fun to see. Air - This was a phenomenal telling of how Nike hitched their train to Michael Jordan. Excellent cast led my Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. It was extremely good. It felt a bit like Glengarry Glen Ross, for some reason. I think just because it was so well acted.

I'm not sure how the current postseason proves that. The Warriors were a flawed team all season long and that played out pretty clearly in the playoffs. The Lakers overhauled their lineup and got hot after the All-Star break, and that carried into the playoffs as well.

This comment is gold when you realize that Hoonding is JE Sawyer's burner account.

It sounds like he has bruised ribs and will probably be limited in the game. That could be a pretty big blow, since he was fantastic last game. They'll either need one of the young guys to step up, or hope Klay or Poole get hot enough where they don't really need his all around great play.

I was pretty excited at the chance for the Warriors to beat KD in the conference finals, but I guess I will have to settle for the Warriors outlasting him in the 2nd round. Also this AD health thing is weird. I never wish for a player to get injured and I'm glad he is cleared to play, but he was looking super woozy and had to use a wheelchair to leave the floor.

Gfted before his MRI.

Difficulty modes in games directly reflect your mental health. Easy = Happy Normal = Normal Hard = Using games to get over trauma Nightmare = Criminally disturbed

It's interesting how we are getting a resurgence of the dominant center. Jokic, Embiid, and Anthony Davis have had a huge impact in the playoffs this year. That being said, we haven't had a lot of titles won recently by a center dominant team.

Oh man, I had a presenter earlier this week with a hundred tabs open and it gave me anxiety.

I thought this must be wrong, but then I looked at the list of Burton movies since Mars Attack! and it is fairly limited. In his defense though, a lot of the movies he has made since the 90's are geared towards kids. Corpse Bride, Frankenweenie, Alice in Wonderland, and Miss Peregrine are all very good family fare. I have no idea what Big Eyes is, and I have no interest is Dumbo, so I guess it really has been slim pickings for the last decade. Strange. Michael Keaton will make it worth a watch, though, so I'm not worried about Beetlejuice 2 being bad.

Picked up Space Haven on GoG. As a kid, I would always build spaceships with legos. It wasn't too fancy, I'd just take the base plates and connect them, and then build quarters and engine rooms and a bridge. This game lets me do that. The nice thing is it lets you control characters directly for certain events like exploring ships. It's a pretty fun game.

That is time spent bonding with your crew. At least they added the fast travel posts to the towns. When I played a year ago, they didn't even have that. I'm surprised they don't have a way to retire and get an ending, but I'm not close to that point yet. Also, did you use pitons to speed up travel around the map? You can make quite a few shortcuts that way.

White folks been playing minorities for over a century, so I'd say this is no big deal. I hope Egypt got upset about this abomination as well.

In Canada, the fridges have to be resistant to Moose attacks.

He is a force. Last year the Warriors had to surround him with 5 defenders to slow him down even a little. This year is very retro. Harden is winning games. Lebron is back in it. I'm enjoying watching all the old guys try and get one more shot at it. These guys are all in their mid-30's, so we are getting close to the end of the era. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Curry is still pretty good for an old man. Looks like the beam will have to wait another year.

People are blithely unaware of the fact their 2-ton vehicle with 200 horsepower is extremely dangerous. I swam 100 yards, rode 50 miles, and ran 5 miles today. It felt pretty good, so hopefully I am ready for the Morro Bay Half Ironman in a few weeks.

I can't tell the difference between that and actual Bethesda writing.

I know a lot of people have issues with Draymond Green, but he basically controlled Game 5 and got the Warriors the important road win. I'm loving the gray beard taking on all the young Kings.

Arcanum is the most underrated Fallout game.
