You'll have to forgive me for a moment. I listened to this questlove podcast recently......
......and I ended up on a cypress hill adventure. Which just now reminds me that dj muggs did an album with the gza/genius (I'll check that out after I'm done watching the dark knight).
Here's the thing about gulliver, even when he's not being a good boi, he's my good boi. Whatever was bothering him last night was gone and today he was right as rain.
Plus, there were no accidents all weekend so he's also back in my good graces as he keeps teaching me lessons. Lessons like......
......when the shit goes down, you better be ready. You better be ready. lulz
Now that we are back to having fun again, ya boi and I decided to form a band named grandpa & dj fernster. If I had more time, I'd combine the image above and the song below to make our first album cover. Alas, you'll have to imagine it.
Who you trying to get crazy with ése?
Don't you know I'm loco?
In between birthday and anniversary well wishers, I chipped away at two new(ish) binders.
- 2020-21 Panini Mosaic, basketball (302/314; 96.2%)
This Mosais set is completed from the basic set perspective. From the master set perspective there are another 12 hard to get variation cards I don't have yet. All that to say this set is completed, with an asterisk.
As for birthday wishes from those that matter: bonnibel was first, lulu was hungover, eeeeeeeemma gave an ol' fashioned irl hug, and I doubt that jeff meff even remembered I was alive today.
nikkigirl got the tickles. 😉
No, actually, the tickles. What were you thinking? 🫠
I needed to commit some code this week, so cipher took all of three minutes and fifty-one seconds to the following. Check out all of the stuff I track for no good reason (italicized in cipher's voice):
Implemented standardized table search across the clearly matching CardAttack directory tables:
Added a shared TableSearch component and filtering hook. Search is case-insensitive, covers relevant row fields, updates mobile cards and desktop tables together, and announces result counts accessibly. Homies’ legacy inline search logic now uses the shared implementation.
Ranking, Hall of Fame, detail, summary, and admin tables were left unchanged because they use different data or interaction contracts.
Validation
- TypeScript passed
- ESLint passed
- Prettier and
git diff --checkpassed - Full Jest suite passed: 129 suites, 599 tests
No dev server was started.
To close my born day, we shift to our anniversary.
Well, before we get there: I don't like to celebrate. Never have. So much so that I will plot and scheme to get (re)married on my birthday to eliminate half of the celebrations. Theoretically at least.
Part of being anti-party is to zig when others zag. Who doesn't love to celebrate? Strategery aside, the value we place on arbitrary dates just doesn't interest me much.
This will be a hard pivot from that to this (lulz)......I've been married five years today. Plus some more. I couldn't even tell you the actual total. Well, I have the paperwork so I definitely could tell you the actual total. Still, I won't.
My ride or die also just so happens to be my partner in crime. I'd rather nikkigirl enjoy this on the random day she reads this than the actual day it's all about. In truth, every day should be that day.
I love you every day lady.
PS......this coming from the guy who's trying to chronicle for three-hundred-and-sixty-five straight days in a row like that means something. Take everything here with a grain of salt.
I'm havin' illusions, all this confusion's drivin' me mad inside
I'm havin' illusions, all this confusion's fuckin' me up in my mind
