Listen to my deskclump mate's music and never realized I've been sitting next to a musical legend this whole time. When he said it was like Linkin Park x The Used, I told him I have high expectations since LP is my soul band. He's no Chester, but holy shit. 😻 #life

Decide to make a "print and play" escape room puzzle booklet for a Halloween gift for someone I like (but he's a professional game programmer who makes puzzles for a living, so I need to be extra clever 😈) #life

Get some Mediterranean street food. Nothing like delicious food to be happy again 😻 #life

run more laps with Maggie (the office dog) for a brain/movement break #life

Maggie came back to visit! 😻 #life

ran a few laps around the inside of the coworking space with Maggie (a fellow member's dog) at 1am to wake up #life

Reached out to a friend in recovery when they had whiskey night here and was offered some. Kept my clean/sobriety date, though, even though I went into a little tailspin for a sec. 4,762 days and counting. #life

join 3-month challenge for Q4 and set some goals. #life

Practice Linkin Park 🖤 #life

don't threaten me with a good time, popsci #life

Started an absolutely delusional endeavor by asking how many steps does it take to trek through Star Trek. It's simple: I start from The Original Series (yeah, Kirk and Spock) and watch all 60+ years of Star Trek...but only while walking on a treadmill and logging the steps + miles (sorry, rest of the world outside of the US). I call it my Trek Through Trek challenge, and it's as ridiculous as it sounds. #TrekThroughTrek (not making a real hashtag til I get through an entire season lol) #life

Talk with health insurance agent #life

ran toggl reports and realized I haven't studied languages for over an hour in WEEKS, and that's probably contributing to my burned-out-ness. Rushing through a lesson or two on duolingo isn't nearly as satisfying as my usual process. #life

I have no idea WHY random Russian videos of cats popped up on my youtube home page out of nowhere, but I'm not complaining 😂 Here's one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYmOK… (I got a rush of happiness when I realized I could read the title without using a translator too.) #life

Read the news &stay vigilant after a shooting only a few miles from me. 'Murica, amirite? #life
