i'm not okay

2025-06-10T17:10:00-08:00

kinda like my smile now

2025-06-07T08:29:00-08:00

i have a neighbor now. thinking of introducing myself.

2025-06-04T11:24:00-08:00

apparently i also look like levi from attack on titan

2025-05-31T15:31:00-08:00

i look like a beatle

2025-05-31T14:23:00-08:00

about to do the big chop

2025-05-24T22:46:00-08:00

there should be a word for when you listen to a new song that you immediately recognize from snippets you've heard in shorts, vids, etc

(kali uchis - moonlight)

2025-05-22T19:08:00-08:00

i met a sax player who lives at my apartment building. she practices on the rooftop.

2025-05-15T13:42:00-08:00

i broke the sewing machine needle

2025-05-11T16:45:00-08:00

wished my mom a happy mother's day

procrastinated piano practice all day. finally practiced and i think i'm ready for the recital.

sewing is intimidating because setting up the machine is intimidating. it's pretty therapeutic after that.

that wasn't so bad, i keep putting off things because i anticipate badness.

the bridge saddles on this guitar are some sort of black plastic. i think they are graph tech string saver saddles.

2025-05-06T14:46:00-08:00

i can't take the heat

2025-05-01T13:32:00-08:00

money suddenly became tangible when I started exchanging physical goods for it and when I got a penalty from the IRS

2025-04-29T16:20:00-08:00

do my eyes hurt because of the thinkpad or do they hurt because my vision's getting worse?

2025-04-24T10:29:00-08:00

7AM construction should be illegal

2025-04-23T21:18:00-08:00

might be paying too much attention to piano fingerings. playing feels very unnatural.

2025-04-19T18:25:00-08:00

noticed c5 on my piano was slightly louder than the other keys. 60ish screws later, it's fixed. i can tell from the inside of this piano the family i bought it from had a cat or a dog.

2025-04-18T15:15:00-08:00

work day started at 1 today

might end it at 3:30

we used to get this friday off

2025-04-17T15:19:00-08:00

charles gave me a drumpad. he's also considering getting an rg406v. "they are all differently joyful".

2025-04-16T19:47:00-08:00

my gums hurt :(

2025-04-15T19:55:00-08:00

considering weekly drum lessons.

2025-04-12T16:22:00-08:00

took the road test in a much emptier part of town and passed. now to tend to the two weeks of laundry and leftovers i've been neglecting.

2025-04-10T16:02:00-08:00

i failed the road test again. i'm not upset over the failure itself. i'm upset that it'll occupy my mental space until i pass (if i pass it).

2025-04-10T17:59:00-08:00

feel overwhelmed at work with adhoc feature requests from above that i fundamentally disagree with. hard deadlines also add a layer of stress.

2025-04-07T20:49:00-08:00

i do not enjoy line dancing

2025-04-07T15:03:00-08:00

panera bread is pretty good

2025-04-04T09:57:00-08:00

feel pretty down about failing my road test. it's helped to hear that other people failed their first 1-2 attempts though.

up to four etsy orders, might consider investing in a better set up.

2025-04-01T09:13:00-08:00

overpaid taxman, bank account overdrawn. i am the april fool.

2025-03-31T13:34:00-08:00

piano's starting the same way as drawing, with focus on arm, wrist, and finger movement control.

2025-03-31T10:11:00-08:00

i got my first etsy sale!!

2025-03-29T03:29:00-08:00

after baking for an hour as suggested, a thick, leathery crust formed while the inside remained pudding-like. alarmingly, the original recipe does not call for any spices nor extracts. i added these, but it's a shame because the only mouth i'm feeding this to is my compost bin's.

2025-03-27T21:32:00-08:00

almost fell down the kitchen knife rabbit hole

2025-03-26T09:48:00-08:00

"i like your casual morning style"

is this flirting?

2025-03-25T14:23:00-08:00

it does

2025-03-24T16:54:00-08:00

rumor has it that met market has cheap eggs

2025-03-24T16:45:00-08:00

2025-03-21T13:08:00-08:00

went on a bit of a rant today at work

2025-03-20T09:11:00-08:00

i'll have to commit to OMAD

the 8-month projection of my teeth look pretty good

it's a shame how imperfect teeth are perceived

did you blow past my stop

my hands are so

there's an internal dashboard for amazon q usage now, along with some threshold we have to meet

2025-03-12T10:44:00-08:00

i miss enjoying programming

2025-03-12T10:29:00-08:00

this midi controller is hard to get rid of

andy says to try breaking every mile to let my heart catch up. notes that i usually break when my heart rate gets to 170.

can i sponsor the next two people to get on the bus?"

first meal cooked in this apartment: beef proletariat (because i couldn't get pearl onions)

2025-03-06T21:04:00-08:00

got homework from my therapist, reading everything isn't terrible by kathleen smith

wanna start severance

2025-03-05T21:44:00-08:00

it'd be pretty stupid of me to buy a bike from someone in bellevue and try to learn how to bike quickly enough so that i can bike back to seattle on it, wouldn't it?

2025-03-05T15:56:00-08:00

i'm finding it difficult to schedule events like driving lessons and therapy sessions around work. the commute time triples the one-hour block these take, and if i'm afk for three hours, then i may as well take a half day.

2025-03-04T20:53:00-08:00

movie featured tATu on the soundtrack

2025-03-04T18:34:00-08:00

it is done

2025-03-02T16:56:00-08:00

need to set up closet and pc and then i'm officially settled into my new apartment!

2025-02-28T23:06:00-08:00

one of the wooden slats fell out of this ikea futon, lost forever

2025-02-27T18:46:00-08:00

on the bus, listening to a mother read a picture book to her son

2025-02-27T18:40:00-08:00

the cadet tep302dw is the worst thermostat i have ever touched. please don't buy this unless you want to bash your walls in.

2025-02-27T13:42:00-08:00

move delayed to 2-5PM

2025-02-26T08:52:00-08:00

2025-02-26T08:08:00-08:00

what's up with the lack of benches in bel-red?

2025-02-25T21:35:00-08:00

almost move day. i doodled my ideal furniture arrangement on a printout of the floor plan. my bedroom will be very empty apart from the bed. i think i'll put a rocking chair in there.

2025-02-25T13:18:00-08:00

bought meermin loafers

2025-02-25T09:34:00-08:00

really like the carmina jodhpurs but they are redundant with my silversmiths

2025-02-24T19:22:00-08:00

2025-02-24T13:19:00-08:00

mocha is a chihuahua-pomeranian mix. very hyperactive, licky dog.

2025-02-23T21:47:00-08:00

coming up with etsy shop names is tough. i went with GlitchGardenGoods.

2025-02-23T13:54:00-08:00

they did a great job

2025-02-23T13:17:00-08:00

2025-02-22T07:23:00-08:00

2025-02-21T20:14:00-08:00

"fixed" a ruined loaf of bread by turning it into croutons. i love croutons.

2025-02-21T15:54:00-08:00

andy took a look at my tsb (training stress balance), which is currently at -33. -33 = fatigued. said i should take a day off or i might hurt myself or get sick of running.

2025-02-21T09:40:00-08:00

probably because i didn't run yesterday

2025-02-20T17:58:00-08:00

feel on edge today

2025-02-20T11:15:00-08:00

thinking about using tumblr again

2025-02-19T22:53:00-08:00

2025-02-19T22:50:00-08:00

my running gloves were returned to sender because usps thinks this apartment's unoccupied

the story of pygmalion sounded really beautiful to me until i read it

2025-02-18T17:37:00-08:00

today was ruby's last day. she organized a buldak 2x spicy noodle challenge at the office. first to break was sasha, who called it at one bite. i ate about a quarter of a packet before i quit and chugged three glasses of water. surprisingly, the older folks in the office handled it well.

2025-02-17T22:13:00-08:00

2025-02-15T09:35:00-08:00

on the bus, going to green lake for a run. goal is 3mi, stretch goal is 6mi.

2025-02-14T17:20:00-08:00

every time i get into an elevator in my apartment building, i think about how austin noticed that destination floors get deleted if no one boards at their source floors.

2025-02-14T14:52:00-08:00

ran to the orthodontist's this morning. saw many lovers holding bouquets of flowers.

2025-02-13T10:16:00-08:00

went up to 40 mph today, which is the fastest i've driven. getting more comfortable.

janelle says i'm becoming more confident. i'm glad it's outwardly noticeable.

2025-02-12T22:00:00-08:00

played two rounds of blood on the clocktower with mostly strangers. enjoyed it more than i thought i would.

2025-02-12T18:05:00-08:00

i've stopped listening to music while i run. i think i was tiring myself out trying to match my steps to the bpm.

2025-02-11T23:00:00-08:00
