I like grocery store sushi more than I should admit.
This is a reminder that the composer for Tenet and Oppenheimer also composed for New Girl with Zooey Deschanel.

Me thinking that I'm rocking the short bangs thing when my nephew runs up to me to tell me I look like an Oompa Loompa. Great.

Look! I'm writing again... again.
Hello. I know, I know. It's me again.
Hey. I'm Sofi, if you remember me from XX letters ago.

Thinking of raising my Substack from the dead... again.

That, or I have this idea of scanning handwritten letters and just BCC-ing my old subscribers in a mass email.

Will their email consider me as SPAM?

Repeat after @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social: I, too, can become unstuck.

Heard a quote today that struck me pretty hard:

"Perseverance without passion is not grit. It's just grind."

Tried watching Baka Bukas since I heard Samantha Lee is the go to for local lesbian films.

The acting is so stiff and the dialogue, unrealistic. I couldn't finish it.

That's not how people talk.

@hankgreen.bsky.social Mabuhay! Your Book of Good Times has arrived in the Philippines. Excited to dive into this!

At a wedding at the famous Manila Hotel.

We've been standing and waiting for the couple for hours. Escaped to the hotel bar, went back, and they're still not here.

Filipino weddings, everybody!

Sometimes I still think about the mnemonic my physics teacher taught us, 12 year olds, in 2004

(in the tune of the chorus of 80's hit Lost in Emotion - Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam)

Laws of Motion
There are 3 you really should know
Oh baby, the Laws of Motion
Inertia, Acceleration
Action-Reaction

I have very few minutes on my Spotify Wrapped and they're just a toss up between 90s/00s R&B and the Carpenters.

This is why I don't know any new songs.

Spotify's got me contemplating my music listening habits.

Either today was brutal or I am just plain dumb.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Getting into a brand new field of work is hella scary.

The career shift to two different ones at the same time is absolutely terrifying.

But bring it on!

We had very few VHS tapes that we owned when I was young. But the only one I remember is Happy New Year Charlie Brown where he kept trying to read War and Peace instead of having fun with his friends.

I think I watched it every year.

I had a dull childhood.

I just started on my second-hand copy of Love in the Time of Cholera and found a quote that the first owner decided was important enough to mark:

"There is bound to be someone driven by love who will give you a chance one of these days... And when you find one, observe with care."

It still boggles my mind whenever I see young people wearing the styles I used to rock in 2004.
