Feels like approximately the 3rd most cliché activity to pick up, but I
started playing pickleball this week. Out of the roughly 72 games I’ve
played, I’ve won one (playing doubles where I may or may not have been
carried). Fun little goofy game, though. I’m enjoyin’ it.
In our last installment, I incorrectly
stated the date of National Pancake Day. It’s actually this Tuesday. Oops!
This week I learned the Chinese word for “movie” is 電影(diànyǐng), which literally means
“electric shadow”. I don’t know about you, but I think that is one badass way
to describe a movie.
I put my long-neglected bicycle to use this week, and went on a nice (slow)
ride up to Bryan Park and around the Bellevue neighborhood.
I have no idea what I’ve done wrong, but the huge majority of my plant babies
are struuuuuuuuggling. I think only maybe like 5% of them are going to make
it. Arugula: rough. Jalapenos: rough. Tomatoes: rough. Bell peppers…
lookin’ good!
First MotoGP race of the season! Haven’t seen the race as of writing this,
but thus far, Marquez looks like he’s back to his old
completely-destroy-everyone-else ways. Usually I’m an underdog fan, but after
all the shit this dude’s been through the past 6 years, I couldn’t be happier
to see him back to his winning ways.
Trying to avoid too much political commentary here, but I can’t believe
how embarrassed I feel after seeing how those clowns spoke to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Slava
