I hope the children of today are still mounting reindeer lawn decorations in provocative positions, because if not, what are we even doing anymore?

I know this Amazon-tainted gig-economy era of the internet is convenient ‘n’ all, but the past three Decembers I’ve had much success doing “Toy Store Tour,” which is where I dedicate a day to the toy stores. There’s tangibility… no review reading… no waiting on deliveries or shipping fees… GG EZ!

Riding my bike to the gym at 7am in 25 degree weather, seeing joggers in the park & thinking, “What’s wrong with these people?!”

Wake Up Dead Man isn’t very subtle about its views on the relationship of religion w/ modern conservatism, and having just attended a pretty full screening at a Utah theater, the tension was pretty palpable… but I think by the end a good chunk came around. I thought it was great, personally!

I’m about to see a movie at 10:30pm on a Sunday night & I feel like I’m not supposed to be here. I have seen nobody else other than a 2-person skeleton crew of employees. This is creepy.

There’s something that feels fundamentally wrong about being in Mid-November, living at 4500’ elevation, and sitting out on a patio at 10 PM in a light hoodie.

Slowly assembling gear for a bikepacking rig, watching a guy’s 6-part YouTube series where he scientifically tests cooking stoves & pots for weight & fuel efficiency. I do this often when I’m making the most minor purchases, but when I buy a car it’s like *shrug* that one’s cool, I guess.

Reading the titles of anime movies makes me exhausted. It might be the first movie of an original property, but I already feel out of the loop w/ titles like Ninja Hackers - Infinity Gauntlet: The Movie: Deus Ex Machina!

Frankenstein (film): Not a completely faithful adaptation — maybe 60% — but the bones, themes, & story beats are there. Some of the changes felt a little flat while others worked great, but I enjoyed it quite a bit overall. It’s got heart and humanity, which is what matters most!

Biking from work to the gym, doing leg day, then biking home. What a terrible idea! Nobody could’ve ever foreseen this. There was nothing we could’ve done.

Little kids are the worst. They’re this explosive ball of unending energy, who then lay down and are out almost immediately. I’m tired ALL the time. I lay down & I’m up until an hour before I gotta go to work.

As much as I like to complain about the cloudless sunny skies of Utah, I do love the rare occasions we get a lightning storm & it’s a spectacle for everyone to appreciate. I can see many of my neighbors on their porches or at their windows with the lights off. It’s beautiful.

Vallée D’Auge Chicken (food): A perfect autumn dish of mushrooms, shallot, & chicken thighs in a creamy apple cider infused sauce poured over butter-fried apples. This was a first attempt & sweet merciful cosmic crisp it will not be the last! Absolutely divine!

After living in my apartment for 10 years, I’ve finally received confirmation from a downstairs neighbor that I cannot be heard walking (my floors creak) & my guitar playing can only be heard if it’s really quiet, but is still not bad. Curse this undue stress I’ve lived with!
