Well it’s a WRUP

Good morning everyone. Here I sit once again to tell you of things you've most likely already seen on the internet. Today will be a little bit short, maybe not terribly. I've just been kind of busy and haven't had the opportunity to really look at a lot of the things that interest me for the upcoming summer releases. In fact I have to work right after I'm done writing this. Before we get going though I want to say two things:

First off - Welcome back Tru and congrats on your tenure in your teaching job. You've worked hard for it and you deserve it. Well done.

Secondly - Everyone pick up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, it's great and you can play along side your friends via couch co-op or online on a bunch of different platforms.

Okay let's get to it.

Do You Guys Not Have [WRUP]?

Oh boy it's too early to write. I woke up at 5:30 and got my outdoor plats watered, I made coffee and now I'm sitting here at 6:20. It's a lovely morning though, 65 and clear and we're set for the high 90's this afternoon. Luckily it's been relatively mild as the beginning of summer goes and I feel like I've had time to acclimate to the heat. So far that's meant the afternoons have been filled with games because there isn't much else going on. Read more

NY Times Says – It’s A WRUP!

Beautiful morning so far. I hope you're all having a similar experience as you get yourselves out of bed or off the couch or the floor or wall or ceiling or what have you. I don't know your life. Today has a high of 74 here and man that's great because next week we're looking at our first 100 and that's not something I look forward to. At least I have access to a really good swimming pool. Okay it's WRUP time let's see what's going on. Read more

WRUP’d the Sh*t Out Of That

How's everyone feeling? Good? I hope it's good. The weekend is here and I hope I can go see Top Gun Maverick. That's a sentence I haven't said since I was a kid. That movie was an inspiration to me and it's why I definitely became a Navy fighter pilot. Don't look that up. I actually re-watched the original a few days ago and wow, the movie is still cool but wow the dialogue is mostly bad. And I say that as a guy who repeated that line "I feel the need -The need for speed" over and over during recess while my friends and I tried to see how high we could go on the swings at school. Top Gun is still a good movie but it doesn't feel like it held up super well. It's not really a criticism so much as an observation, I still think everyone should watch it. Read more

This Is A Stick-WRUP

Alright, alright, it's wrup time again. Thanks for joining us on another weekend in the beginning summer weeks, or at least it feels like it here lately. Temps are getting high, snow is melted away, wildfires are popping up here and there, water restrictions are set to take effect any time now, welcome to CA. I'm feeling salty... Read more

My God, It’s Full of WRUP

Here I sit, another spring WRUP morning with my coffee writing still another weekend commentary. I've had very little time off with work being as busy as it is. Unfortunately that doesn't really mean extra money as I'm more or less spending it as fast it comes in. Hopefully that will stop in about a week's time though and I can start actually making money instead of breaking even. And I'll tell ya what, I'm taking Monday and Tuesday off for myself at least. One day off in two weeks is not enough days off. Read more
