Pesto linguine with shrimp, and a Southern French (Languedoc-Roussillon) 2022 rosé by Benjamin Darnault. Good mix of fresh herbs and sweet.

Steadily regaining control over my right leg. Balance is better… But it’s crazy I STILL dance better than the average Minnesotan. PATHETIC!!

I’m sorry, since when are Czech and Thai considered “rare and distinguished languages”? All right Cornell…

I’ve just signed up on Letterboxd, and it turns out I haven’t seen as many films as I thought… Hmm…

I think I left my favourite black pen at work. I guess I’ll use my regular Zebra Sarasa… Not a bad pen, just. I prefer the body of my other.

IN THE END, I had another zombie dream. But this one was nice. I got to hang out at the mall with some elegant older ladies. Best nails!

Holy crap, some of the Crunchyroll subs for Attack-On Titan season 4 are so bad. —So it’s weird that the English dub has more accurate tone at times…

Can’t wait for those delicate little porcelain bowls to be filled with my wife’s homemade sauces. She’s doing less Chinese cooking and more French…

Values an’ allegiances an’ where I want to raise my family are all swirling in my mind. Looking seriously into triple citizenship…

Most of the online “interactions” I have pale in comparison to the interactions I have with IRL acquaintances, friends, and neighbours.

Bars are awesome. My local co-op brewery an’ bar is hosting an “Ales & ASL” class to teach American Sign Language—with beer!

Why the fuck is Facebook advertising events to me in Chicago lmao. I’m not going to Chicago tonight. No.

My sweet pepper omelette is great, but I’m really missing mushrooms and Swiss cheese… That’s my favourite breakfast omelette, been a while.

My supervisor’s trying to kill me with references to Dirty Dan; nearly choked on my egg.

Sakeru Gummy don’t look anything like they do in the commercials.

Amazing how much one can get done when they’re not on the Internet at all. I think I need to give myself set hours…

Growing out my winter beard feels so good. Pretty sure I’m gonna be the first guy in my entire extended family to have a beard.

My neighbourhood has some really cool Christmas lights. Man. Also voted and group-hugged my friends—bumped into them at the voting station!

Neighbourhood Safety Walk went well. No lights in disrepair, a couple of businesses had icy paths (will inform them soon). No accessibility issues.

I might be doing some winter biking with some friends tonight. Jesus, that’s exciting. (Hoping I don’t die.)
