Enjoying retro ads from 1995, and realized it’s “Happy East Coast New Year”, or whatever from @courtneydn.bsky.social and Me.
I blame the ads from 1995 for the general apathy and angst.

Writing doesn't just help you process your thoughts.
Neuroscientists have found it physically changes your brain in ways that build resilience and help you handle everyday stress and challenges.

Writing builds resilience by changing your brain, helping you face everyday challenges
Resilience is often presented as feats of bravery and endurance. But everyday practices like journaling, drafting a text or even writing a to-do list are manifestations of a capacity to adapt.

Time to start thinking about New Year's resolutions.
Should I do something that:
A) Actually challenges me?
B) Takes a degree of effort and may be rewarding.
C) Not that hard, but still is kinda worthy to gloat about.
D) I normally do, like breathing.

Sure, this is a no-nothing bowl game, and yeah UNLV really did not have it together. But, I am still not jaded enough to not appreciate the fact that UNLV made it to another bowl game.

Had to have an MRI done on my head today. Don’t think they found anything.
Anywho, I was warned about how loud it would be, but not that it would sound like an incomplete Dubstep album with all the cool drops missing.

Thanks to @kenlayne.bsky.social talking about the holidays in Sante Fe and Taos on the latest Desert Oracle; @courtneydn.bsky.social and I are fantasizing (planning) a return trip to both places. Plus, as former Las Vegans we can vouch for both Sam’s Town and Ethel M’s at Christmas.
