I loved your first book. I found it by accident after listening to the podcast you did with Jon Green at my local library. I was like "I have to read this!" I love some of the fun theories presented in the book like the "leaky universe" theory to explain gravity. I'm excited to read on.

The track was at my local high school where a lot of people were going to work out.

I lost weight during the pandemic because i was hiking in the woods and I got a workout buddy at the track, but then I fell off in 2023 hard, but I'm losing it again.

Almost got run over by a bike and I apologized to him. I really need to stop apologizing for my existence.

Screenshot of a news article of a jet blue plan shattering terminal in Virginia. A little ways down there has the website for jetblue that says "why settle for just cheap airline tickets? Get more for less". Indeed.

My cat greeted me at the door, met me on the couch, licked my elbow, and walked away. Okay. Why? Because cat.

I had a really sad conversation with my friend on the phone the other day and had to reassure him about the state of events. It made me sad because it's getting scary in this country.

Someone once said that they would eat a whole container of raspberries when they bought them because they go bad fast, and I was like "I just need to eat my raspberries if I buy them" and I sat down tonight and at the whole package and felt like a king. How do we live like kings in 2025 sometimes?

Perfection. Yes, get it.

Points that it might be a bot: generic profile pic from in game, responds two seconds after my mom plays with his word, comes up with the most complicated words and has like ridiculous word scores.

My mom has this scrabble war with this guy named Odysseus but for the longest time she called him "odious" because she wasn't sure how his name was pronounced. And then I blew her mind and suggested that it might be a bot.

I've been working out so much that my hands have calloused now from the dumbells. I'm geeked.

Active rest day today, so I did yoga. I read about 70 pages of normal people last night too instead of scrolling, so I call that a win.
