“TV Time” Cedar Park, 2026

I actually got a lot done today including some motorcycle maintenance and HVAC vent cleaning, but I also spent a good chunk of it relaxing in front of the TV (with a big bowl of popcorn), listening to my audiobook, and even reading from a real, non-digital book. Sundays can fly by so fast, but today felt like it lasted. That’s a rare thing. 😊

Finishing Spooky in Love

“Spooky in Love” Cedar Park, 2026

The final episode of Spooky in Love was released today. I’ve been enjoying this K-dorama quite a bit, though I’ll admit I was ready for it to wrap up. It started out with a really fun premise, but the story drifted away from the ghost-seeing aspect toward the end and leaned more into corporate intrigue, which wasn’t quite as interesting to me. Still, Park Eun-bin was great in it, and it was a pretty different role from Extraordinary Attorney Woo or The Wonderfools. On to the next one. 😊

Finally Watching Lawrence of Arabia

“Lawrence of Arabia” Cedar Park, 2026

I started watching Lawrence of Arabia. It’s a very long film, so I’ve only made it through the first hour so far, but I’m already hooked. Those wide desert vistas are stunning, and Peter O’Toole was incredibly cool. Looking forward to finding time to finish it. 🎬

Great Packaging, Mediocre Candy

“Retro Candy” Cedar Park, 2026

I’ve been slowly working my way through the candy and snacks we picked up at Ohmachi Shop. The actual candy inside is pretty basic, just sweet pressed sugar powder, and not particularly good. But I feel a sense of obligation to finish every one. The packaging though is really fun, very retro Japanese, and each wrapper is getting glued into the daily pages of my Hobonichi. 😄🍬

Shrimp Pasta and Parmesan Placement Problems

“Shrimp Pasta” Cedar Park, 2026

We had shrimp pasta for dinner tonight, with freshly grated parmesan on top. Our aim with the grater needs a little work, as you can see. Still delicious though. 😄
