Some dreams you want to fall back asleep to rejoin, but I just woke up from this dream where I was partway through explaining the rules of Ring of Fire in Japanese and I was like. Nah that was boring, imma stay awake *abort*

Pipa teacher told me だいぶ上達したね when we were practicing 輪指 today I could cry

So glad this happened on a Sunday where I have zero obligations ☕️

Impulse bought some of the 龍角散 throat lozenges at the register and thought yellow = “honey” but really it’s “so you want to smell like an old man” flavor (medicinal herb and mild milk) 😩

I don’t cook a lot of White People Food but I tried Nigella Lawson’s marmite butter spaghetti and I’ll admit it kind of slaps

Knitted Ravelry 🧶 It only took me 10 days to knit up my gay hockey bros beanie 🥹

Just got out of pipa lesson where I was not immediately good or even mediocre at the 輪指 tremolo and I’m like mega frustro but I have to keep in mind this is part of learning a new skill/instrument 😮‍💨

Listening to some old Sega soundtracks and like, Streets of Rage 2 (1992) did not have to go that hard lmao youtu.be/aRDKoBfKDLo?...

Didn’t have the heaters on so I was wrapped up in this throw when I answered a FaceTime call and my friend opened with “ok Malala” 💀💀💀

2:30 am and the canadian government sponsored yaoi algorithm now has me pondering if my French is decent enough to watch this québécois reality show about a gay dairy farmer tryna find love

V glad I took today off + have the day off tomorrow for my bday. I think the two extra days of winter break nothingness are helping me come to terms with having to Do My Job again

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

This fkn Folgers commercial ass morning

Grandpa (me) threw in the towel and went to bed at 11:25 😴

Not me tearing up because ‘I’ll Believe in Anything’ came on while I was in the freezer aisle of Aeon lmaooo

Idk if it’s the BL brain from just having finished Heated Rivalry but getting messages like this from the “straight” men in my life got me like 👀

The category was "CLASSIC NOVEL ADD A LETTER"

Random thing that made me feel old today: getting お歳暮 from a company I worked with 👴🏻

Been out of the house since 6 this morning to do things on a farm and then had to go back into Shinjuku to meet a friend from out of town for dinner and I have two Christmas concerts to sing in tomorrow I feel like

Revenge cowl is done and off the needles 🧶 🙌🏼

I have a cool pad outside the city but I appreciate friends that have cool pads in the city 🌅

I fkn love autumn 🍂

Me every time I clock into work

Ahhhhh I’m making good progress w my revenge knit cowl but I’ve already decided on my next project and I’m so pumped. We’re going back to basics w some cross stitch baybeee 🪡

Algorithm had me on the verge of subbing to some dude’s good boy ASMR content but I was able to stave off the urge - not today, Satan 🙏🏼😌✨

I know it’s not meant to be but West End Girl is such walking about town music. Catch my Pasmo declining at the stile like ~ IiIii thOught tHAt that was qUite sTrAaaaAngeee ~

Things people that have come over have said that I want to engrave in my heart - “your house is beautiful as always and somehow every time I visit it gets even more lovely” 🥹

Figures Sauvignon Blanc, arguably the most Lana-coded track on that Rosalía album, would be my pick

On the tail end of fighting a flu (thank you Day/Nyquil I brought back from the US) so I called out of work for two days and my only plans tonight are to make tea, knit, and watch NZ bake-off. Girl who is gonna be alright.jpg

Idk idk choices were made and I just got into my bed at 6:23 am but I also got to make out with a hot Canadian sailor Neptune and sleepily hold his hand all the way to Shinjuku as the first light filtered through the city and if that’s not what Halloween is about idk what is

The way I just addressed some dude as “Alex from the bathroom” and he was just another guy that was wearing the same Mario costume as Alex from the bathroom 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Throwback for Halloween 👻

Looking up flights for NZ revenge trip next spring and they’re so … reasonable ???

Unpopular opinion - I think 金木犀 smells like cheap soap (!!)

My friend brought gummies to knitting circle. A+ 😭

Just got out of my lesson where I had to tell my harp teacher of 5-6 years that I’m gonna take an indefinite break. I’m a lil torn up about it this feels like a breakup 💔

Yes sir

Ok wait this 和栗プリン tastes just like if you let Lucky Charms sit in milk for a bit too long and I’m not angry at it

Played the Entr’acte from Carmen Act III as a duet with a flutist from the Tokyo Phil and effed up in a v noticeable way on stage for more than a few measures (!) I was able to jump back in and get to the end without further incident, but ngl kinda glad I didn’t invite anyone to this concert (!!!)

Surprise, I’m the next Fatal Frame protag 👻

After taking PTO every week last month (and ending up working anyway cause I didn’t set up coverage - big miss steak) I’m off for 6 days, turned off my work laptop and deleted Outlook and Teams from my phone. I am f r e e 🕊️🥹

I saw a thing of sour cream in the grocery for literally 1/5 the price it would be in Japan and I stuffed it in my checked bag because why not. I’m about to get home and can only picture opening the bag with all my crap slathered in sour cream I am mildly stressed

Me: I’m worried I’m being boring Literally me this morning: omg sry I can’t stay in DC for brunch I gotta be at a bear party in Brooklyn in a few hours (!!!)

✅ cafe con leche ✅ pastelito de guayaba con queso ✅ empanada de espinaca y queso Miami Int’l is a nightmare to get to but the relatively affordable Cuban bakeries in the terminal are kind of worth it I guess

Ok why does this unreasonably hot construction jock have to hit me up while I’m passing through town with my parents (???) I guess tradie fantasy will have to remain unfulfilled 😔🦺😭

The way I just saw some batshit “how progressives exploit Christian compassion” book at the grocery and then left and a real live cybertruck clipped the curb in front of me 🤢 🆘

The way underwear aisle packaging dominates the conversation is Brawny man erasure 😒

I wandered around target earlier with a basket (not a cart) and pulled random stuff that caught my eye and it was half full when I checked out. Total was $86 (?!) I don’t think I’ve *ever* accidentally spent 13,000 yen walking through a store in Japan - 物価 is BONKERS

I’ve flown into FLL at night heaps and the moon reflected in the ocean is dope, but the approach into MIA is from the west and the moon stares up from marshy wetlands, massive summer thunderheads lighting up the whole sky every few seconds. FL sucks like a lot a lot but sometimes it can be pretty 🐊
