    one of my favorite things about you is your insane turbo nerdness about fine dining

    it makes my own nerdness about it seem normal

    I am literally a Guy's guy. I posted about it before but I met him outside of my place when he was unveiling his Hollywood star and we hit the bar and grill.

    Every now and then I play against Meatball in NBA2K. These days it’s a coin flip on who wins. To make it interesting I offered him a bet. If he wins I’d have to do one of his chores for a month (folding laundry). If I win, his mother gets to pick out what he wears to school for a week. She’s not the troll type who’s gonna make him wear goofy shit. Probably just something other than a hoody and flannel pants. Meatball said “No way, ain’t f-ing worth it”

    kinda disappointed because the game would’ve been epic and the post bet shit talk would’ve been glorious

    Sadly we do not have a Chili's so had to resort to a backup plan - but did get to hang out with him and he's everything you expect him to be.

    I had a CRO a while back who was obsessed with Eve 6 and hired them to perform at our President’s Club in Cancun. It was probably the most odd concert experience of my life.

    I don’t want anyone to make a big deal of this - all is fine - just a paper trail as to what and why.
    I’m going to log off of here for a while. I’ve realized that I spend too much of my time worried about checking/posting here rather than maybe doing other things I might enjoy or getting something done I’ve been putting off. My first reaction to an event or news or whatever later is to check here or post about it here, and I don’t like that for myself. Probably not the healthiest relationship to have with a site or app. A mental break will do me some good.

    I always struggle with how to alert someone with headphones in that I'm going to pass them. I usually just sprint up grunting as loud as possible and waving my arms like I'm on fire. Just trying to get their attention.

    When TMB first launched, it had a clock to show you how long youve been on the site.

    I dont remember if other posters could see it, but talk about shame/internal embarrassment. Bring back the clock!

    When I work from home I have 1 window w my work tabs, and another for not work tabs - tmb,rivals, goupme, substack, tweetdeck ect. They're open all day. My TMB clock would be very embarrassing.

    i realized just today that you can drag and rearrange the order of songs in Spotify's queue. until this morning, i used to put on a playlist before a shower and press the randomize button 5x-20x times in hopes of getting 2-3 mood-matching songs in a row at the top. :laugh:

    Nice way to start the day.

    I wake up this morning and my phone is vibrating like crazy. I'm getting work emails in bunches of 10-15 every second. I open a ticket with our help desk (they finally called me after 30 minutes when the guy realized I probably didn't see their email with some questions). Since then I've received more than 17,000 emails confirming I'm signed up for listservs and mailing lists. I've put my Junk Mail filter on Safe Lists Only and moved all of the messages to my Junk folder but I've gotten a few automated messages that a safeguard has been triggered and my account has been suspended from receiving messages. Since I put the filter on it seems like I've received the emails I want but wondering if there's any way to stop a bot from subscribing me to every mailing list in existence. Luckily most of them require confirmation so I won't get anything further but many do not.

    To make things more interesting I also got a couple of emails from Hilton about points redemptions. I tried to log into my Hilton account to confirm if they were phishing messages or not and my password doesn't work. Might be coincidence but it could be a fun Friday.
