Then I spent the last hour or four (actually 3, but I use four because it gets someone’s panties in a twist), vegetating in front of the TV with more Diablo 2 replay. Granted, I was also listening to a YouTube show at the same time.

Scarab Sages

Now I’ve had my afternoon coffee and am currently enjoying a snack (Mmmmm…Nilla Wafers). Next up I’ll probably wash a load of clothes, giving my new net bag a workout.

Scarab Sages

One thing I realized, though….I forgot to take the red beans and rice out of the fridge last night. So we don’t have anything planned for our evening repast.

Scarab Sages

Ugh. I’ve got to remember to make an appointment with my primary tomorrow. I need to discuss my recent cardiologist visit and the procedure they recommended. Among other things.

Scarab Sages

Nick Tarabay - he’s got to be one of the best character actors of the modern era. I’ve enjoyed his work in everything I’ve seen him in.

Scarab Sages

Happy Wednesday!

Scarab Sages

Happy Last Day of this Most Wretched Month of the Year.

Scarab Sages

Happy F$#k You Go Away to this wretched year!

Scarab Sages

Hopefully, this new year will gift me with a new job where the management is actually competent and truly cares about the rank and file employees.....

Scarab Sages

Aww...Who am I kidding? It's a damned unicorn. Like a place where socialism works, it just does not exist.

Scarab Sages

Still, one can hope for at least a steady pay check. Maybe even for longer than three years.

Scarab Sages

Anyway, it's a pretty day here. Pretty cold (though due to warm up by tomorrow). Pretty sunshiny. And pretty much the end to this craptastic holiday season.

Scarab Sages

Yeah, I know the Feast of the Epiphany isn't until January 4th. Or January 6th, if you're being more traditional. So, technically, the holiday season continues until then. However, since I don't really practice all that much, and have a somewhat adversarial relationship with the Almighty, I take the holiday season as ending tonight. At the stroke of midnight, to be precise.

Scarab Sages

I played way too much Diablo II yesterday. So today I shall endeavor to forgo touching the PS5, and instead do some reading. Perhaps some bagging and boarding as well. If I do end up powering up the PS5, it'll be to maybe watch a movie later this evening. I'm thinking either Shin Godzilla or The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Scarab Sages

Ouch! My poor head. This morning I got the dog some beef treats. Rather than just drop them, I bent over to place them on the floor. And promptly conked my poor skull on the corner of the wooden table thing we keep her treats on. Just what I needed....more head trauma.

Scarab Sages

Not much planned for today, other than the aforementioned reading/bagging and boarding. Which is probably a good thing, since it's already 9 am, I'm only on my second cup of coffee, and haven't even had a shower yet. Laziness has infected me.

Scarab Sages

At some point, maybe I'll even try to hang up some pictures. There are a handful I've been meaning to take care of. The other day, prior to a visit to Lowe's, I had to make sure I was well-stocked on my supply of wall hooks. Took a minute of searching in the garage. My organizational method out there can probably best be described as "There appears to have been a struggle."

Scarab Sages

I saw Zach Snyder was engaged in a bit of trolling the other day. He shared an image on social media - a picture of Henry Cavill in the original Christopher Reeve Superman suit. Heheheh.

Cavill doesn't look nearly as jacked in the pictures as he did when he actually played Superman. Plus, I have to imagine there was a little room to spare, since Reeve was about 2 inches taller.

Scarab Sages

Simu Liu is adorable. He's still holding on to the hope he's going to get a sequel to that craptastic Shang Chi movie. Sadly, I saw that movie. The phrase "cruel and unusual punishment" comes to mind. Then again, that can apply to most of the Disney Marvel products of the last few years.

Scarab Sages

Time to finish up here. Then do a bit of job hunting.

Maybe a bit of mapping. Just not too much. I tend to let myself get carried away with that. Next thing I know, it's much later in the day.

Scarab Sages

Not much on the job front today. I found some potentials, but only if I want a horrid commute. Ah well, I can only hope it’s because today is New Year’s Eve, and most places aren’t focused on hiring.

Scarab Sages

I’m trying to cut back on my sodium intake. It’s been a mild success so far. I’ve just got to find more alternative snacks and meals. Like that marinade I did the other day for chicken. It called for salt, but I skipped that bit.

And I’m eating more healthy things like apples. In fact, that was part of lunch. Along with some wheat toast. Not very filling, but better than nothing.

Scarab Sages

I’m kicking myself for not calling my primary sooner to make an appointment. They’re closed from today until Monday.

Scarab Sages

And I said I was going to try and avoid Diablo 2 today, but f$&k it. I feel like destroying some digital demons. I can pretend their my former bosses.

Scarab Sages

Weird. Had a big deposit into my account. It’s pending, so I’m still not sure where it’s from. Just the amount. Could be my final pay from those a-holes I was working for, but the amount is off. Unless it’s the total remaining I’m owed (two weeks worth), since they pay like a week off.

I guess I just wait and see.

Scarab Sages

Cool. I had my wife order another pair of compression sleeves and pair of compression socks. Finally arrived today. I’ll get those washed eventually. That’ll give me two pair of the socks and three pair of the sleeves. And now that I’ve got the net bag, there’s less chance of me accidentally running them through the dryer.

Scarab Sages

Well, I at least had a lull in the loud noises from a-holes to get the dog out to potty for the night. Stupid fireworks.

Scarab Sages

And I’m finally done with Stranger Things. That was at least one hour (and change) of my life I’ll never get back.

Scarab Sages

Well, I tried going to bed, but with all the idiots “celebrating” something that’s utterly meaningless by causing very loud, very public disturbances it was kind of pointless.

Scarab Sages

This is one of those times I truly wish I ruled the world. There would be no idiotic late-night celebrations to ruin what poor excuse for a good night’s sleep I already get.

Scarab Sages

F$&@ing a-holes.

Scarab Sages

Geez. I didn’t even need to see a clock to tell when it struck midnight. All the a-holes collectively lose their s&@t and set off enough fireworks to blow up a small country. Whose bright idea was it to celebrate something by ruining someone else’s night?

Scarab Sages

By all rights, I should drive around the neighborhood at 5 am and continuously honk my horn.

Scarab Sages

F@#k you, Thursday! And kiss my lily white ass, New Year.

Scarab Sages

I stand by my assessment that anyone who willingly and enthusiastically acts as a public menace in the name of celebrating an arbitrary day is an a-hole. May they get everything they deserve.

Scarab Sages

And, of course, with my disrupted sleep I'll be feeling like crap today. Moreso that usual, which is pretty crappy.

Scarab Sages

On top of everything else, my stomach is bothering me more than usual this morning. Again, I say "F#$k you, Universe!"

Scarab Sages

It's cold this morning, as well. But at least the sun is shining. And it's supposed to warm up for the weekend. The air quality is supposed to be crap, though. Of course it is. Probably because of all the idiots shooting off fireworks last night.

Scarab Sages

At least I don't have to go anywhere and interact with people today. So that's one small blessing.

Scarab Sages

Though I'm sure there will be more fireworks tonight. Probably over the weekend as well. Because that's how this thing works. Why ruin one night, when you can be a real douchebag and ruin multiple nights.

Scarab Sages

I think when the youngest finally graduates college, the wife and I will sell this house and move further out. Somewhere without as many people. Of course, by then we could be destitute, if The Universe has it's way with me.

Scarab Sages

At least my stomach seems to have settled down a bit. I'll have to keep in my all the things I ate yesterday, then never do that combination again.

Which is a very sad thing for me. I used to say I had a cast iron stomach. I could eat almost any combination of food and it wouldn't bother me too much. That is most definitely no longer the case. And, to be honest, it's almost the opposite now.

Scarab Sages

And to top off the new year in a spectacularly idiotic fashion. I accidently sent most of my email inbox to the trash. I did go back and recover a handful of items, mostly from this past month and into late November.

It might be a mixed blessing though. Lord knows I had way too much just sitting in that inbox. I'll have to go back and find a few more items to bring back though. Especially the ones where I ordered my most recent comic book storage cabinets. I want those emails in case I'm in a position to order from that guy again.

Scarab Sages

Well, I finally got off my lazy butt and grabbed a shower. If only because I needed to shave my head again. I prefer to do that every other day.

Scarab Sages

Now it's time for...well...nothing. Another typical day for us. Which, of course, makes last night's effrontery all the more hideous.

Scarab Sages

The dog appears to be engaging in jibber jabber. She should quit that.

Scarab Sages

I love Bane’s appearances in Batman the Animated Series, but it doesn’t beat his comic book origins.

Scarab Sages

Happy Friday?!?

Scarab Sages

Not in the slightest. At least, not for me. I'm sure someone out there is having a better life than I currently am. Good for them. The Universe must like them.

Scarab Sages

My mother called yesterday to wish me Happy New Year. I wasn't in the mood to put up with that kind of cheery nonsense though. I found myself having to explain to her why it wasn't a "happy" new year. You'd think she'd know better. It's not like I hide all the horrible things going on from her.

Anyway, that was a short phone call.
