an arkansas expat in the U.K., somehow tricked in to being a QPR fan
alright then, I have about 3 quarts of turkey stock. What shall I make with it

Blackburn isn’t very good

I have never been so sure this game is ending 0-0, because why would QPR ever win a game where they are clearly better, and more physical (this is a nice change), and more disciplined?

planning a friendsgiving for Saturday. some of our friends keep halal, and I thought, well, we live in an area with 6 halal butchers less than a mile away, I’ll just grab one today

problem: not a single one carries turkeys until Christmas season

lamb or beef, I guess!
Let’s run this again, was fun last year, what new adversities are we about to create for ourselves on the field, drop your menus below

living in the U.K. is fun and good etc…

but the week of thanksgiving I get so jealous of people in America as I go in for a normal work week and actually have to accomplish things.

@n2theblue.bsky.social hooked and successfully lost two milkfish while fly fishing in Mauritius this morning

those fuckers can move, man

Mauritius: it’s great

I have reached the age where I go to an all inclusive resort and actually use the gym because I know otherwise I’ll regret it

and honestly getting older isn’t all that bad (yet)

in theory I could watch Arkansas v lsu

in practice, I can get drunk at the airport and go to a tropical island

I choose the second one

being able to drive up from a major (ish) city in to this, in under an hour, is pretty cool. Now back to Granada for ham, ham, maybe some ham, and a flamenco show

logged off, two weeks off now. First week southern Spain, hiking in sierra nevada, then second week lying in a hammock in Mauritius

god it’s gonna feel good
November 7, 2025 at 5:05 PM
oh it’s cold out? And cloudy? And sunset is 4:30?

FINE, I’ll make a beef bourgignon and open a fancy bottle of wine.

genuinely can’t believe anyone ever thought “bring back Bobby” would work

took the first concrete steps towards prep for new arrival: upgrading car to Soemthing with 2x storage capacity.

also it’s just such a nice color

the week the clocks go back (last weekend in the U.K.) I feel like I can’t stay awake past 9pm. It’s not even 6 and feels like bedtime already
October 31, 2025 at 5:41 PM
hm even in late October, central london on a Saturday is very crowded

and i am, for some reason, going to a bottomless brunch

on the upside it means i can be in a drunken stupor by the time Arkansas/Auburn starts, which is really the only way to watch that game
October 25, 2025 at 11:56 AM
oh good all Arkansas needs is two defensive stops this game

lol

spending Friday night making a “what’s left in the fridge” soup, listening to old Wilco albums

… am I a dad now?

@andrew.mcguiregis.com made it to the trail finders home opener, it was… not close

at lunch in South Africa: “and if you are vegetarian you can find chicken and fish on the next page”

I’ve been here 72 hours and my arteries hurt

Mahi mahi lookin ass plane
October 6, 2025 at 5:45 PM
flying on a double decker plane tonight, which is cool and fun. And I’m on the upper deck!
October 6, 2025 at 6:19 AM
need to urgently buy a dress shirt before tomorrow, which means sadly, i am going to have to brave driving to the Big Shopping Mall right when it opens

Truly the stuff of nightmares
