Smart-Assness 101

Welcome to another edition of The Hype! Not as bad a week as last week. They’re all the same. It just didn’t hit me as hard, I guess. Last week I said I’d start reaching out to friends and opening up a little. Haven’t done that. Not yet. But I’m working up to it. For now, in the meantime, let’s get into it. What We’re Watchin’ Still in The Land of The Spoiled in this section. We’re watching so…

Won’t sugar coat it, it’s been a rough week. With each one that passes the “oh shit the holidays are over” dread has set in. Weeks feel longer. Work feels more dreadful. And there’s no more Christmas bonuses to make that paycheck any nicer. I knew it’d be like this, but knowing it’s coming isn’t making it any easier. Trying my best to lean a little bit on my people, I guess. It’s scary and it all…

Being sick sucks. I’m still over here coughing up nasty shit, and whenever I blow my nose, the color is still surprising. It was really bad for about three days there at the start of the week, but I’ve been steadily getting better since I’d say Wednesday. Vero is still in it with the congestion headaches, but we’re almost out of this. Today was “do all the chores that had built up while you were…

Fun fact, the intro is the hardest part to write. Some weeks I’ll stare at this laptop with a bunch of things to talk about but no clue how to start it. Going full meta and letting you know I have a hard time with it is an emergency glass I wouldn’t want to break that often, but I’ve been feeling sick since yesterday. Back to school, am I right? IEZ has had a steady run of coughing and runny…

**chi chi chi ah ah ah ah ** Era una tarde nublada. Okay. Enough of that. You get it. Welcome back to The Hype! How’s January treating you doods? Yup! Still January. Best month of the year. Anyway, we were drowning in anime this week. A whole lot of our shows came back from hiatus, new seasons are starting up… and for us living in the land of the dubbed, we’ve still got a couple of big ones…

The Hype is nigh, my doods! Eleven days into the year and it all still feels like new over here. ÍEZ has been sleeping in his own room for a week now. Holidays are winding down. I’m coming up on my first full work week since basically mid-December, and I’m oddly okay with that. It’ll give me time in my office, which still needs a lot of cleaning and organizing. Just sorting through/getting rid of…

Full disclosure time! I’ve written and posted all Hype posts so far on Sundays. This one is being written on Saturday night because tomorrow is my 38th birthday. By this time tomorrow this post will be live, and I’ll likely have had at least one edible. It’s weird but I’ve been accidentally saying I was 38 since the summer, so I guess I might be ready. Let’s open with some good news. ÍEZ is…

Year End Hype! Also, Weekly Hype X. Twenty more of these and Vin Diesel shows up, or something. What a week we’ve had over here, my doods. We had all the family activities and some extra stuff all planned out for the holiday week, and then ÍEZ got sick two days before Christmas. He’s gotten better but it’s still pretty rough over here up to today. All week we’d wake up, give it a little time, and…

Weeks off go by too fast, my doods. I had four days off this week. Got so much done, and it still feels like nothing really did get done in the grand scheme of things. The apartment feels more and more like our home and that’s incredibly exciting. The living room looks amazing after a couple days of peeling walls and adding a fresh coat of paint or two. Our hopes to move ÍEZ into his own room…

Hype! Hype! Hype! Holiday festivities are in full swing over here. ÍEZ just finished his first semester of pre-school, and I’ve got a handful of days off this week. We’re looking at a chill week at home, and I’m incredibly hyped about that. We’ve got plenty to do around the apartment, and I’m very much looking forward to devoting some serious time to getting some of it done. Aside from that…

December! The work weeks are-a draggin’ and these day shifts feel longer and longer. We are all out of new Stranger Things and One Piece episodes. Last week of school of the semester starts tomorrow. May the odds be ever in our favor. We’ve got so much wrestling to catch up on. Let’s do the hype! What We’re Watchin’ It was a two night Stranger Things binge over here. Happy to report that the…

Doods! Welcome back to fun stuff. Thank you to those who checked out my last post. It was a heavy thing, writing about my mom and my grief. Thank you all for the messages. You are very much loved and your words and wishes are appreciated. It’s one of those things I knew I wanted to do with this blog from pretty early on. These hype posts, they’re about setting little excitement milestones to help…

Prepare yourself for a light read… Content Warning: parent death, cancer, grief. The further we get from March 7th, 2020, the blurrier it gets. It was a Saturday. I can recall that from the top of my head. Vero woke me up after a truly exhausting week of hospital stays to the news that my aunt had just called. She asked us to come back to the hospital for what must’ve been the third or fourth…

I want to start this week’s hype by thanking La Caverna for an amazing show last night. We’ve got a whole lot of hype in this week’s post but having another top-tier venue for artists is the type of hype I don’t get that often. It deserves highlighting. So, I’ll do exactly that, every chance I get. The sound felt amazing from the stage, and the hanfdul of people that brought it up said the same.…

It’s Tuesday! And I feel like it already took me too long to start working on this. What am I hyped for on Halloween week? AEW Dynamite looks fun. I’m also way more into the new (final?) season of My Hero Academia. Oh, and I’m playing a show on Thursday. Might even wear a dress. Let’s get started. What we’re watchin’ I feel like Vero, my partner person, and I just finished our binge of season 2…
