It took 3 attempts, but my son demonstrated his drafting skill and won an Arena Direct event. Most impressive to me is that all three entries were paid for with draft winnings he's accumulated in Premier Draft. He's never directly purchased gems outside of set mastery passes.

Today's explanation for the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife sounds bizarrely improbable but makes sense. She died first from hantavirus, and Hackman died a week later from heart disease but also had advanced alzheimers and couldn't react appropriately to his wife's death. There's still no explanation for the dog.

After yesterday's loss another week to skip all my Spurs podcasts.

Knocked out my 750 Words for the day before 6:40 am today thanks to the pups!

Severance S2E8: Sweet Vitriol π Important episode with amazing cinematography and revelations about Cobel, but what a bleak origin story.

Gerald McRaney is so good as Cal Bradford's father on Paradise. Whether it's playing the dementia-addled present-day version or the man at the height of his powers scheming out his son's whole life, pitch perfect.

Spurs drop the opening leg at AZ 1-0. Solanke went off injured after an aerial clash in the box with the keeper.

Geez, Gruber really has the knives out for Gurman lately. I can't recall him ever savaging a reporter that's been a guest on his show before like this, but it's probably more to do with Gurman working for Bloomberg, who he has openly despised since the Big Hack story they never retracted.

Paradise absolutely nails the character backstory slow-drip reveals that Lost pioneered. Hoping to see a lot more of Sinatra's journey from broken woman to ruthless mastermind in the last four episodes.

The girls and I had another nice late afternoon run. I purposely chose to run down the street with three different houses flying Trump flags over the last year and into January. All three flags were gone.

Was pretty sure that I had TinySupers RPG, but couldn't find it in my rpg ebooks folder. Went on DriverThruRPG and sure enough I do have it and a bunch of other genre variations so I downloaded the relevant pdfs again.

Paradise went up a level once I realized Sarah Shahi was in it. So awesome to see her in a complete 180Β° role from Shaw in Person of Interest. Also really psyched that Krys Marshall is part of the show as well.

Amazing how many television shows have been called Paradise over the years.

Intrigued by a Hulu show I saw an ad for today called Paradise.

Found a fun mono-green combo deck built around Mossborn Hydra. Played one game, got a huge come-from-behind win, and notched three achievements. I'm sold.

Musk is clearly using his son as a human shield now.

Settling into my new desk location at work. Rotating it 90Β° so that it's more cube-like and I actually have some physical boundaries on three sides helped a lot.

There are still two episodes left, but the one thing I find preposterous in Zero Day is that there have been two clandestine server farms and I can't believe actual hackers with the necessary funds wouldn't just spin up vms and containers in the cloud for the attack as needed and then purge them.

πΊ Zero Day ππ I came across this DeNiro thriller on Netflix today and was intrigued so I decided to give the first episode a try. Now I'm hooked, but I did find it weird that he takes his Lipitor in the morning since most cholesterol production happens overnight. A little research confirmed it's fine because Lipitor has a longer half-life than some statins- the routine is the important thing.

Good afternoon run with the girls. We went just over a mile before turning around today for a total of 3.66K in 21:52. Nice to be able to run comfortably in just a t-shirt again.

Just finished updating my 11" MacBook Air to 14.7.4. Got inspired to upgrade after things went wonky in 14.7.3 after the battery ran down. Running a lot better now.

Sad/not sad that the DOJ doesn't have enough lawyers to handle all the lawsuits they've created.

Emailed my Congressman about the Oval Office debacle because I didn't appreciate him saying that Zelinskyy should resign.
