Owner of our favourite bottle shop and I talked Trump’s tariffs. The last time around, some importers bowed out—couldn’t eat the costs.

Why did every single machine decide to break after MLK Day…? Nothing spared me, and two letters against defendants are missing, ha.

If I ever get tired working Downtown, I may turn a new life working with the earth. I know if I tried hard enough, I could start a cidery.

Wow, those steam clouds are slowing to a crawl… They must be turning into ice crystals in the air. It is -18°F at the moment. Beautiful.

What should I do on my lunch break today? It’s been a while since I’ve hit the office gym…

Midnight. Woke up, dreamt of Axel. Fuck, I hate waking up from those dreams. He was right there. His chest was warm…

Love watching white steam clouds billow over the power plant. Formerly coal, now state-of-the-art combustion turbines and steam generators.

I forgot how bad the Bonapartes was. Watching the first episode of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares… The show was named after that joint.

Added two dozen more songs to my lovely Japanese flip phone. It’s so nice to disconnect from being always online. <3

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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…

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

If I haul ass today, I should be able to make it to tonight’s Neighbourhood Safety Walk and still have time to cook and eat…

This hard chewing gum is great! I’m already used to chewing tough things, but in any case, it’s pleasantly stimulating activity.
