You may know me from the internet as steelopus or from meatspace as Steve Lopez. Rochester, NY - Nature, Music & Photography, Hockey, and Technology (as a career but not as a lifestyle).
Totally jinxing myself... but I'm on a heater right now. Five of my last ten Wordles have been 2s. Average of 2.8 Yeesh.
On the other hand, Melvins still absolutely rule and sound better than ever. Surprisigly this was my first show seeing Steven McDonald on bass/vox and I love the dude so much. Fits the vibe of the band better than anyone before him. And double-drummer Melvins > all other Melvins. Coaty 🤝 Dale
I mean, I don't particularly love the music, but there is no denying that Mike Patton is still... Mike Patton.
There are approximately 750 grown ass dudes in this room who want nothing more than to make sweet love to Mike Patton as they await this Tomahawk show.
Enduring one of the worst weeks of my life and grieving AF, but at least I just crossed the "more 2s than 5s" threshold on Wordle, which I've been aiming for for years.
Pepper July 2012- July 28, 2026 The love of my life is gone. I'm too broken to say more at this time.

I mean... come on. They're the best. The absolute best. The Beths - "Little Death" - June 6, 2026 - Buffalo, NY
So glad I made this trip. This clip is for @ihavethatonvinyl.com in particular.
Hey Rochester! The cat's out of the bag... we're doing another Weezer tribute show! I couldn't be more excited to celebrate Pinkerton's 30th anniversary with you all at the Bug Jar on September 25th!!! (Ignore the fact that *actual Weezer* is playing in Toronto on that same night.)
14 years and I still think about this all the time... because I still get tricked into eating coconut all the time. Just awful.
17th annual "watch Jesus Christ Superstar on Good Friday" party in my house.
Ryan Johnson has been on the ice for FIVE of these goals-against tonight. Absolute garbage.
Hey DC Metro area folks... I think I might be visiting for 3 nights in May... What can you tell me about Union Stage in DC and The Filmore in Silver Spring?
How it's currently stacking up for me. The Hum shoes are tentative. Not sure if I'll be able to find resale tix nor do I know if I want to be in Brooklyn.
Me, sitting on the couch scratching my itchy ankles after a historically long stretch of cold dry air, to this floof: "Want to lick my ankle? I could really use a good ankle lick."
So let's call these my final stats from the first edition of Wordle. Undefeated Overall average of all my scores was 3.51 ROAST was my best starting word, at 3.35 I achieved my only 1/6* on May 15,2023 with CANOE, and retired the word that day. Started maintaining my PUL shortly thereafter.
Starting tomorrow, Wordle will begin reusing previously used words. As a player who maintains a previously used list in a quest to achieve the lowest average score possible, I absolutely hate this change.
I hope you all enjoy this and I hope you can find the love that permeates life even among all of the sadness.
