My coffee/espresso hot take: a dark roast pairs better with syrups than a lighter roast. Lighter roasts seem too sour or too tangy. Dark, while the taste is robust is smoother.

Bought a ticket for Kill Bill so I don’t procrastinate.

I need to find a better way to set up my projector in my room. I always have to put it on tripod on my bed. Kinda thinking of putting a hook in the ceiling and hanging a platform that can be removable. I don’t want a permanent thing.

Made my own pumpkin spice latte. Not bad. More subtle. Which is how it used to taste.
