Continue reading →: Why I Game on XboxI talk about video games a lot, and several people have asked why I chose Xbox over all the other options. Console vs PC In my teens and early 20s, I played on PC, but switched to consoles by my late 20s. I don’t see myself going back. So console…

Continue reading →: Counterfeit QuesadillaTaco Bell is my favorite fast food chain. For a long time, one of my favorite menu items was their chicken quesadilla. I guess a lot of other people also liked it because the price was increased significantly a few years ago. Today, it’s $5.99 a la carte. If I’m…

Continue reading →: Hard Knocks Season 24 (First Episode)Hard Knocks is one of my favorite shows of all time. There’s a longer post I may write someday, but the short version is: this show portrays more intriguing personal drama, everyday humor, and gut punches than a lot of fictional shows, and it’s real. My favorite parts of the…

Continue reading →: How I Make Packaged RamenWith a microwave. I adopted this method from a friend back in college. I thought nothing of it for years until a friend recently watched me do it and looked at me like I was an alien when I finished. I’ve since talked to other friends, and all have said…

Continue reading →: Thursday President BootsHow I Got Here (skip if you just want details about the item itself) I am a big fan of wardrobe specialization: having many pieces that are each good for one or two specific situations.
