I was hesitant to start āA Knight Of The Seven Kingdomsā because I assumed it would be dark & depressing but I just watched all 4 available episodes & had a great time. The tone is different than the other two shows, which is refreshing. It doesnāt rely on CGI & also itās funnier than I expected!

Forever trying to find the balance between staying informed & endlessly scrolling. Itās so hard to do without just throwing my phone into the ocean (which I do not want to do, that would be bad for the fish & also bad for me because then I wouldnāt have a phone).

Cleaning out my closet & finally put all of my āperformance attireā into a storage bin. (For context, I used to play in a Bowie cover band. I havenāt for about two years.) Was thinking about how much I miss playing out & realized I mostly just miss having a group of friends that I see weekly. š

Yesterday I was going to exercise & instead I made focaccia bread & ate it with a big bowl of pasta, which might actually be the exact opposite of exercising.

At work thereās a whiteboard in the kitchen where the cook writes the lunch special everyday. Today under the date it said āGround Hog Day!ā And for a minute, I forgot that today is Groundhog Day & I just thought the cook was getting wild with the special. š Anyway, happy Groundhog Day.

Went to the symphony last night & there was an older woman in front of me pumping her fists in the air at the end of Griegās piano concerto, which was incredibly heart-warming & also probably the only correct response to Griegās piano concerto. That one is a banger from beginning to end. š¤š¹

From the inevitable sober corner at the function: Guy drinking ginger beer: So one time I blacked out & ate a live lizard. Me drinking non-alcoholic IPA: I get hangovers from simply eating French fries, everything in life gives me a headache. BEING 38 IS COOL. š¤

Reminder that even though a total economic blackout is a great idea, rent is due soon & a lot of small businesses canāt afford to close. If youāre spending money today, have it be at a small business & pay cash! A lot of places in Portland are donating a percentage of their earnings today to PIRC.

People who like experimental, ambient, and/or noise music, whatās the funniest thing youāve ever mistaken for part of the music you were listening to? For me, I think it was the time my phone got disconnected in the car without me realizing it & I listened to five solid minutes of radio static.

Hesitant to share this but I think Iāve reached the point where I can talk about it without immediately crying (maybe). A week ago today, Gertie passed away. She was tiny dog w/ a huge personality & the house just doesnāt feel right without her in it. Happy to have had the time with her that I did.

Setting reading goals for the year. Last year I set my goal at 35 books & read 43, but Iām going to do 35 again. Used to do 50 but that would get stressful & reading is supposed to be fun. 𤪠Anyway, now that itās January itās what I have come to think of as ācozy reading seasonā & I am excited. š
