  1. I don’t know what is real anymore
  2. after a day of not shutting the fuck up, I finally got her to talk to someone else. Alexa just keeps saying “I don’t know how to help you with that.”
  3. We’re going to end up with fentanyl in the guacamole.
  4. Are the adults in charge now?
  5. Cottage cheese actually would work there too, that’s probably what I would do if I was at home. but if I’m spending a day in office, I’ll hit up chipotle or get a smoothie and eat a quest bar. i eat a lot of popcorn - wife got me this as a stocking stuffer and I guess I’m surprised you can just microwave dry popcorn kernels in what amounts to a steamer. This has made controlling nighttime snack calories fairly easy.
  6. He strikes me as more self-loathing than that.
  7. Part of what makes recapturing the essence of classic shaggy impossible is that that brand of Internet humor was ruined by the pepes who took it seriously.
  8. I agree in principle about weight not being the number or perhaps the most portent number, but I will say that for me tracking metrics is important in my ability to stay on target during a slow process like this. i look forward to the “ what’s it going to be” every morning on the scale. And this is the first time I’ve done calorie counting - that makes a big difference. I want to just eat that cornbread muffin sitting there but more than that I don’t want to fuck up my number. Also I finally ordered a bowl for the first time at chipotle - I know bread is a calorie bomb but I finally gave in when I was playing with the nutrition counter on their website trying to figure out how I could get cheese and sour cream.
  9. they blew up the chiclet man
  10. straight calorie deficit right now. i have maybe 45 minutes unscheduled every day, it's a beating. I do want to start doing some casual cycling. Maybe I'll get a kettlebell or something.
  11. Well 175 by May certainly seems achievable lol. I wish I had weighed myself in college. I was chubby in high school, at about 200, slimmed down in college when I walked everywhere and didn't have a pantry. I would guess mid 170s though is about the lowest I've been in my adult life. I'm surprised at how not difficult it's been to get close to there again. I was getting frustrated earlier this week that I was stuck at around 182, but then I went into work on Wednesday and put on a button down tucked into chinos for the first time this year and realized how much progress I'm making. I still have a belly, I wonder what I would weigh if I got actually thin. I'm about to go pull out some shirts that have been relegated to the back of the closet for about 10 years....
  12. I think she was at UT, although it could have been St Ed’s. She was part of my circle of friends (which centered around a changing network of like 6-7 bands and an art studio) circa 2006 until I fell off the face of the earth around 2013.
  13. I’m split between loving Stephen Wilson and loving him and feeling like he has too much shit on his voice I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this song and a few other from Plains without realizing it’s Jess from college, goddamn, good for her.
  14. Interesting - I had seen that he got sober but instead of retiring but has just figured it was more of a… “gave up alcohol for my health” thing rather than a “got treated for alcoholism” thing. He’s a hill country guy, curious if he went to La Ha or somewhere else. Corpus Christi Bay is a great song. Great alcoholic chorus.
  15. just to get some o-15m sounds in here
  16. IMO you get that looked at by the best luthier you can get it too and fix anything that needs to be fixed to keep the guitar healthy. But you leave the patina.
  17. Looks like maybe the same branding as the Guadalajara in The Woodlands. No idea if that place still exists, it’s been 25 years at least, but they had great tortillas.
  18. Early 1942 https://www.martinguitar.com/customer-service-2/support-serial-number-lookup.html
  19. Is there anything stamped on the neck block, should be visible looking up the sound hole? agree that it’s not a ooo. I think it is an O rather than an OO. I am not good at eyeballing sizes but the rectangle bridge I think is a feature of the O and not the OO. The tuners are also interesting - when (apart from starting this year) did the 15M guitars have black plastic tuning knobs? if those discolored bridge pins are the original ones and are discolored because they are ivory, that puts this guitar at least in the 1960s. My wild assed guess would be 1950 plus or minus 5.
  20. Well i failed to track down a .5mm hex key so I have to wait to fix whatever weird shit I did to the height at the bridge when I was 17, but she’s alive. Stopped by Walgreens yesterday and got a bottle of ronsonol, went to work.
