Yakiniku Dinner
“Yakiniku” Cedar Park, 2025
We have three boys in their early twenties living at home, so cooking meals that actually fill them up has been a bit of a new challenge. Tonight’s yakiniku really hit the spot, though. Everyone was full and happy! It was absolutely delicious, and we packed in a ton of veggies too — bean sprouts, spinach, onion, eggplant, and jalapeños. We even added some kimchi for a boost of gut health!
Monarch Habitat
“Monarch Habitat” Cedar Park, 2025
This year, the city I live in put up a couple of signs near one of the large open spaces I often run past. It’s really encouraging to see that people care about the Monarch butterflies. I read a book last year about their migration, and it was both fascinating and a little disheartening. Still, with efforts like this protected field, I’m hopeful the migration will continue.
Austin FC Match
“Austin FC vs Houston Dynamo” Austin, 2025
Tonight we went to see Austin FC take on the Houston Dynamo in a tournament game. It was my first time watching a soccer match at Q2 Stadium, and it was such a fun experience. Our friend generously gave us their seats, which were incredibly close to the field — row 8! Austin won the match, and the whole stadium lit up in green to celebrate the victory. Such a cool night!

ダースとみえ
“ダースとみえ” Cedar Park, 2025
I recently upgraded from my 2020 MacBook Air M1 to the new 2025 MacBook Air M4. My old laptop, named “Tomie,” was still doing its job, but it started to struggle with the heavier streaming workload I’ve been throwing at it. That felt like the right cue to make the switch.
The new MacBook Air is called “Darth Tomie,” inspired by its Midnight Black color, a sharp contrast to Tomie’s original Silver. I’m hoping this one sticks with me through 2030!
