Finally watching Weapons, really good, but the first few deaths are bummers

Watching Hundreds of Beavers and... wtf is this movie??? (Funny AF tho) www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h4P...

I guess I'm just a redditor now... I just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's House of Open Wounds, it's fucking awesome, and I wrote a whole dame review (actually two) www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co...

Carbonara with spaghettoni (thicc spaghetti). With Pecorino Romano and Grana Padano and of course guanciale. Started by toasting some Tellicherry peppercorns. "Cheated" by using a stabilizer (corn starch), and man that made life easy to get a consistently creamy sauce!

Watched Mickey 17 last night, I really think Bong Jun Ho movies in English (Snowpiercer, Okja) lose... something. Like they're a lot more in your face about the messenging. Still very good movies, and fantastic acting my the mains, but don't get to Parasite, Memories of Murder, or Mother levels

Home. After 2 months away. Brain fried. Barely could answer the CBP questions (where did you come from, why were you there?). Still got waved through. Did a quick trip report during my flight back if anyone is interested: www.reddit.com/r/solotravel...

I said 6 months. I fucking called it!

Tea adventures in Sapporo

물회, mul-hwe, spicy raw fish (and abalone) salad with veg and chojang. Add cold (iced!) beef broth and rice or noodles. Great for this sticky ass weather I'm having in Daegu rn (and why I don't like coming here in May) 👌Also, like $38 for 3 people including an order of tonkatsu I added!

So much of this is a direct fuck you to Zak Snyder and I'm here for all of it

View from my current window in Korea (my "office" at my parent's place). Shitty day, but cool seeing low clouds on mountain tops

Watch to the end 👀

First time in Hong Kong! Views of Victoria Park, Kowloon Bay, and Kowloon, from my hotel in Causeway Bay, near Wan Chai. Tomorrow, all the foods 🤤

In Rotterdam today, last day in Europe, about to fly to Korea until almost June. Been here (Brussels actually) a week on bidness, will be working remotely in Korea for a while, but mostly just happy to be out of the States for as long as I can finagle it 🙄

Been in meetings since 7am, just looked outside for the first time and wtf is that white stuff on the ground?!

Real fascist shit going on (email from our general counsel). Super happy I got my citizenship last year (for this exact sort of reason)

eat shit nerd

My reading really drops off this time of year. Last year was BG3, no real reason for it this year. Also, peep those pagecounts per book--I was reading a lot of Brandon Sanderson, Stephen Erikson, 1200 page doorstoppers

Finished my taxes, and just as a PSA, Cash.app has free tax prep & filing. I went through the whole thing in about an hour, turned out I had one li'l complication, went to TaxAct instead (another hour) and got mostly the same result. Most people will be able to use cashapp.

Amtrak canceled my train to Chicago (engine maintenance), so now driving to catch a late show, and just gonna drive back and hope not to die. This country hates train travel so fucking much, because who wants to relax in a comfortable seat, maybe get some work done, when you can fight traffic?

Reposting my "news" account, because I can't figure out what to post where, but also I don't care that much? Anyway, work is playing musical chairs in a couple of months and I'm tossing stuff, sorta lamenting all the knowledge lost, but again... Fuck it all?

Welp, finally paying the price for taking action last year to not to get deported this year
