taught my younger cousins how to skate 🫶🏻 pati my aunties actually pero ofc di sila natuto kase they were so afraid na ma-fall HAHAHA we had a good laugh about it
hay kakatuwa to share my random interests w them! I think eto rin advantage being an only child na jill of all trades hahaha lowkey entertaining ka sa eyes ng younger ones
(dec 23rd, on our way to Uncle John’s for some ice cream kahit na it’s 🥶-downhill to kaya x2 speed HAHAHAA)
it's sad that weed is still ~alternative~ and relatively looked down upon, i smoke and immediately become kinder, more mindful of my actions, less socially anxious, more understanding of the world around me... i assume when i smoke i just do it for the euphoria. but it's everything else that comes with it too
I managed to maintain enough motivation to do workouts every other day for the last 2 weeks and that feels good. I cleaned most of my apartment and did my laundry after work and said workout today, so now I just have to pack and do one little cleaning patch tomorrow. Then it's a week off work and Florida time babyyy! Will time with my parents and Erin have ups and downs? Definitely! But things have been manageable with them lately and at least I don't have to work.
this year has probably been the worst in my life. i lost my sister, lost my job and was unemployed for 7 months, got kicked out of my house and live in a motel, dropped out of college, and overdosed almost enough times to kill me. almost. but i lived bitch
IMG: candid photo of Red Flare District's (alleged) bassist, Deryn Doe. Wanted for illegal data brokering as of 09/10/122023.
Excerpt from interview with two three members of Red Flare District, Inkopolis News Network; 6 September 122023:
------
Q: So, i take it the band's second single was composed and arranged primarily by... Haddock, was it?
Hiddock (he/him), guitarist: Hiddock.
Deryn (presumed she/her), bassist: [incoherent]
St. Tuna Piano (he/him), frontman & drummer: Yeah, no input from me at all, man. Real inspiring stuff. Shame Petr coul'n't sing vocals again.
Q: ... What was the reason this time?
St. Tuna Piano: Cuz 'e choked on a bell pepper, that's wot. Irrevokably out o' commission.
Deryn: [incoherent]
Hiddock: Truth be told, I was initially inspired after our day trip to Um'ami — er, before it flooded last week, that is — but it wasn't until Shipshape Cargo Co. broke into the whole Turf War shtick that this idea just... arose through spontaneous generation; Squid Athena being birthed, fully formed, from her own skull.
I mean, like, this new battleground floats through the remains of the polar ice caps — in essence, the impetus of both humanity's extinction and the Great Turf War, now used for a mundane cargo route and commercialized inkspewing. Don't you think that's oddly messed up?
Q: Couldn't say. Anyway: there seems to be some degree of curiousity regarding a sample used around the one-minute mark. Any remarks?
Hiddock: From a demo tape we found. Lost media; fit the theme. You wouldn't believe if we told you how we got it.
Deryn: [fervent babble; no less comprensible]
Q: I... don't believe she was even invited to this interview. How, uh... why is your bassist present?
Hiddock: Well, "present" isn't... the word I would use. She's here, certainly.
St. Tuna Piano: She comes n' goes as she pleases. Sorry if she touches anythin', 'er hands get all sticky.
Q: Yes, but where did she come from?
St. Tuna Piano: Same place anyone does, I 'xpect.
Hiddock: Under a bridge.
St. Tuna Piano (abruptly): Don't worry about it. We, eh, take care of her. Or somethin'.
Last batch of the year! My hōjicha tea mead was such a success the last time, I decided to make it again. 12 cups of tea and 3lb of the same local wildflower honey I used before. I think it tastes a little less sweet than the last time I bought it. Could be because it was harvested during a different season when different flowers were in bloom.
I am using a different yeast, this time. I'm trying out Bourgovin RC212 (I got this variety pack of Lalvin brewers’ yeasts a while back), which is a red wine yeast that's supposed to bring out "ripe cherry, bright fruity and spicy characteristics."
