i didn’t drink any coffee or espresso today. But I had multiple matcha lattes. Lotta lattes. Muchas matchas, etc. I fell asleep after dinner. my neighbor treated me to sushi. Dinner was his idea. Sushi was my idea. Turns out he doesn’t eat raw fish. He also doesn’t eat ramen. Dude is living in the…

A little bit of a hard time while cooking today. I used to put hot dogs in our spaghetti because eddie and I were big fans of young Sheldon. Well, I didn’t add any hot dogs today (because it was only for comedic effect) but many memories resurfaced. Told you dinner time is the hardest…

I’ve had a chill in my bones all day. Not like I’m getting sick or anything like that…just cold because it’s winter. I decided to turn the heat on. Being in the apartment by myself means I can set the temperature to whatever I want. But not above 77F because the building put a limit…

Mondays aren’t the worst. The cute bartender poured a lot of mezcal shots but we were fine. A couple of first-time things: 1) i made iced matcha lattes. not a big deal. i used the nespresso aeroccino milk frother gadget. matcha will be my late afternoon caffeine fix from now on. #bestgiftever 2) i ordered…

A beautiful 1/11. Advanced hermit mode unlocked. I never have to leave my apartment again. morning: espresso drinks with neighbor. afternoon: omelette and cleaning. Even the mirrors and floors. Evening: watermelon basil margaritas and Blake lively movie. raspberry macaron. night: cheese and crackers and pecan pralines. Dms. 12:55 am: reflection. I should have done some…

Tonight I was the bartender and made margaritas with chamoy rim paste. I made the paste too. The party foul was that I ran out of tajin, but everything was good nonetheless. an update on my noisy, heavy-footed neighbors upstairs: I want my wine and chocolates back. I’m bumping an Amelie lens set right now…

1:53 am. it’s late and I need to sleep. But two major things about today (technically yesterday): 1) someone made me dinner. And instead of wine I brought bottles of kombucha. Dessert was Macadamia milk ice cream with sprinkles. No further comment. 2) I have the biggest, most volcanic zit on my chin. the inflammation…

la has been consumed by the fires. My loved ones are safe. My mom has her go bag ready. Friends have evacuated their homes, but their houses are still standing. Some friends of friends were not as lucky. Unbelievably heartbreaking. the news reporters walk through the leveled Altadena neighborhoods and say, “it’s like a war…

i got on the ladder again today. That’s the third time this week. I put curtain tape on the bedroom curtain rod so now the rings no longer catch on the telescoping joint of the rod (i learned it’s called the jack). It was something that annoyed me for years. It’s sm00th like butter now….

10:38 pm. I keep thinking about rejoining the climbing gym. I even looked at the monthly rates. over $100 now! I remember paying $80. I also keep thinking about riding my skateboard. I found my board while cleaning the apartment. it was hidden underneath the fatboy bean bag in the corner. graphics and trucks brand…

I had a dream that I used my oc spray on someone. pretty sure it was dick van patten. he was following me and i sprayed him at close range when he tried to grab me. the stream of spray was weak and i was lucky i got him close up because it didn’t travel…

life’s not fair, is it? Memorable line from Lion king. I went out for some drinks tonight with shawanna. As you know, she is a talented comedian so she made me laugh so much tonight. She serves the best kind of humor and the kind of compliments that you secretly want to hear. For example,…

I’ve decided to stay in this apartment. After eddie passed I thought I would move (to Sacramento? To claremont? To Milwaukee?) but i realized that moving would be too much to deal with. So I shall stay in this rad apartment that I can barely afford. i love this place but I just got new…

11:41 pm. happy new year! Hope you had a fun and safe celebration and feel ready for 2025. New Year’s Day is Eddie’s favorite holiday. He would say happy new year to people well into February (luckily okay because lunar new year). He loved the idea of a fresh start. I missed him at the…

i spent the day with fam at my mom’s house. Hung out in one of my favorite places—her backyard. then We ate traditional 떡 만두 국 (it’s soup) for early new year’s. I napped and then ate more food. I feel pretty fat. Even though I hadn’t been eating very much food the past few…

I made myself a vanilla espresso drink with my new nespresso machine around 8 pm. And now I am wide awake. 2:13 am. Even met Shawanna for a couple of drinks yet sleep is far away. I Feel like i could help dig a ditch right now. I thought I was immune to nighttime caffeine,…

Stephanie arrived today so there was much joy. third extravagant dinner in a row. More pie. Afterwards we took family photos and opened gifts. My face was round and red. So jolly. No tears. i said I wanted to head back to my apartment tomorrow. My mom said she wishes i would stay but she…

how did Christmas Day go. We went as a family to visit eddie at his final resting place. The truth is I like going there by myself but I know he loved the fact that he brought us all together today. It was very beautiful and peaceful at the cemetery and he’s even got a…

merry Christmas. 1:08 am. We made it. i’m at my mom’s house. As soon as I arrived she made me blueberry pancakes and eggs. My brother is here too. On Christmas Eve, we lounged, drank wine, listened to alternative Christmas songs, and then had an amazing dinner. My mom cooked a roast and roasted beets….

didn’t do too much today. Wait, yes I did. I watched too much YouTube. And ate too many chamoy gummies. I neglected a lot of my tasks (let’s blame it on late amazon delivery) but I’ll make up for it by waking up early. That is one terrific aspect of my life right now: Do…
