INT. SHABBY APARTMENT LIVING ROOM – DAY It's late in the morning. Sun streams in through a set of damaged blinds. The camera tracks from the blinds over the couch, where a figure is curled up underneath a bright pink T-mobile branded blanket. A cellphone begins ringing, and the figure sits

Sharkbait - March 13, 2026March 13, 202625

Happy Friday! I'm presenting this week's drink from a hotel bar in New York City. Dad Sharkbait is in town for a work trip so I made arrangements to come down and grab dinner with him since he's normally on the West coast. After a great dinner, and post dinner

Yesterday I talked about the process of getting to the game. Today's post is about being at the game. It was Christmas morning combined with prom night as Beerguy got up to face the day. The day hung heavy with anticipation, because it was the anticipation of the thing I wanted
