• Weeknotes 26-42 NEW! Hiiiiiiii wow it’s really fall huh……….. been waking up to 45 degree mornings when it feels like it was 75 just a couple weeks ago! Monday was Indigenous Peoples’ Day so I had the day off from work so I mostly just Chilled and wrote my Utah/Vegas blog (not posting until I have my film photos back though) and then got my covid vaccine for the year and then played more Silent Hill 3 for game club. I have a strong feeling that game club is going to just be me and one other coworker having played it since it takes more than 5 minutes to set it up rather than just paying 15 dollars to install it on steam lmao. OH WELL their loss! Thursday I saw the Street Fighter movie, not good imo! lmao! Not like I was expecting it to be high art but like I was expecting it to at least have an actual ending. I read a lot of Parade by Rachel Cusk this week which I bought last year when visiting Mariah and hrmmmmmmm I think I don’t like it! Which is disappointing when I’d heard so many good things about Rachel Cusk’s books, so maybe it’s just this one? Not sure…….. but next up is Abigail by Magda Szabó which I’m also excited for! It’s been a slightly slower reading year for me this year but I’ll still hit 12 by the end of the year at least! I’ve been feeling myself dipping more into Scrolling as a habit which is bad Friday was a friend’s birthday party which was very fun, she made us play “king’s game” which I’m fully convinced was like a well-known thing referenced in anime all the time but she and I were the only ones who knew what she was talking about so I have no idea where I know it from lmao. Honestly the most high school feeling party I’ve been to in ages This weekend was very cafe/bakery focused for me!! Saturday I went to Komugi and Michette with Snow since Michette just opened a second location closer to me, sooooooo yummy, huge line out the door. Definitely want to go back! Sunday I went to Newbery Street Coffee in Brookline, an area I’m not often in while they’re open (weekends from 10-1 only). Incredibly good, probably my favorite pourover coffee I’ve had in Boston? I bought a bag from them that was super expensive but it was yummy so it’ll be worth it I think!! Instantly threw it in the freezer since I just got a new bag from Broadsheet and that’ll take me like two months to go through. I was in Brookline to hang out with Olivia and make a mask for her masquerade Halloween party in a couple weeks, which there is no “costume”, but instead it’s “wear your nicest/most formal outfit and a mask”, a la Phantom of the Opera. It was really nice to see her which I only have once since she moved in September :’)))) Olivia watched Scream for the first time this week and loved it so I really need to get her to watch the other Matthew Lillard classic Hackers. When I got home I played a few games of Deadlock with Garrett and it might be the most immediately incomprehensible game I’ve ever played, like just so overwhelming with information right out of the gate and the tutorial tells you how to move around and shoot but does not tell you the like, core loop of the game and so even though we just played the ARAM-like mode we just kept getting steamrolled and every time I died I couldn’t even tell how. Not for me I think!!! Too bad since the character designs are really good and mechanically are sooooo interesting. Okay that’s it n_n Things I’ve been into this week!!! ISOKNOCK LIVE @ NITEHARTS 2026 - SAN DIEGO, CA: i should have been here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the dashstar* → dashstar* (VIP) → dashstar* (AKUUMA Remix) bit in here goes so crazy Only one by phritz & Jukaa Art I liked!! 𝙝𝙖𝙟𝙞 ASPI: “TLにすごくいい絵があったので勝手に描きました（ごめんなさい）” 深葉ヨウ たなか: “ネイビーな秋” 🌼Yoshi: “🍁” livia: “#カヲシン” hbd
• Weeknotes 26-41 Hello!!! It’s truly fall…… temperature hovering around the mid-60s all week, time to pull out all of my sweaters and layers!! Saw She’s Green (with Smush and Witches Exist opening), sooooo good, love their new album and they played a great variety of stuff (basically playing their new EP in order with 1-2 older songs in between each one) Went to pinball both Wednesday and Thursday, did exactly average at both of them. Finals are up in Maine this season, and even though I didn’t get close to qualifying last season I still went anyway just to hang out, and I can’t really see myself doing that this time. Like, I could if I made a big weekend of it but driving 2.5 hours each way just to watch people play pinball is not particularly appealing to me lol. Had a fun weekend hanging out with friends and playing Halo 3 and MW2 n_n On Sunday to celebrate a friend getting a job (after being unemployed for like eight months) we got dinner and then watched a compilation of the “Bye Sister”/Dramageddon 2.0 videos which I had vaguely heard about but had never seen, truly fascinating watching those without any context and trying to piece together the story from what they were all talking about. Though it was funny getting to the end of it and watching the Shane Dawson reaction video and realizing that I had actually seen clips from that stream when it was happening but I had no idea any of the context. lmao!!!!! Moral of the story: people should not become famous before they’re in their 20s and social media audiences are terrifying. I’ve been using Halide for a couple years now, and version 3 since it was in beta, but I feel like I’ve really been drawn to it a lot more recently, defaulting to it for all the photos I take with my phone, and reaching for my phone more often to take photos. Weirdly I feel like this is because of my film point and shoot, there’s something appealing about a camera that takes “bad” photos. Like I love my fuji, but there’s something nice about getting instantly very opinionated and stylized looking photos from something I always have with me. Which is also what Becca Farsace is saying in her iPhone 18 Pro review, that so much of what makes it good is that you can take “bad” photos with it. Like I just love how grainy and blurry these are: Finally got around to finishing The Left Hand of Darkness, ended up really enjoying it! The first half is the kind of sci-fi/fantasy I don’t like, which is very “political” in that it’s all about like, government relations and trade negotiations and land disputes and broad societal things that I just find it hard to connect with, but the second half has a shift into a much more personal story just following the two main characters and I really loved it from there onward. Lots of interesting things to think about in it, kinda crazy to think it was written in the 60s with how it discusses gender and just the way it was written (though I feel like if it was written now things would be pretty different, like there’s no usage of singular “they” in here). Definitely want to read more of her novels now, maybe Earthsea next??? After I read some more books that I already own, and calcvol 5 comes out in a month………. Things I’ve been into this week!!! momone & curren - “暴力的にカワイイ2026” DJ archive Grant Nelson - Brave New World (Original Mix) the new ISOxo album is really good!! especially the second half i’ve listened to big thief a few times and never got into it, but after hearing some songs by adrianne lenker in a book shop in moab i’ve been listening to her album songs a bunch, so so nice Art I liked!! 藤野: “💄🪽” にゃໂ‧͡‧̫ໃ⚡︎: “#篠澤広” ヤマイヌケン: “FA #bigwalk” 🥀༺: “まどほむ 🧸” 全日制 🍥 ゆーきんᝯᝰ: “えちゃ〜 ට ̫ ට 推しの描きあいをしたよ　たのしかった”
• Weeknotes 26-40 Hello friends, I would say that this was mostly a post-trip recovery week, which is partially true!! But I also did things. Monday I took off from work because I knew I’d be dead after the trip and I was very correct. My sleep schedule is like a full hour plus offset from where it was pre-trip, I’m getting up at like 7:45am which is only 15 minutes before I have to actually get up which is not good!!!! Tuesday I woke up when I was supposed to but I felt so horribly exhausted that I called in sick and immediately slept until 11. Then Thursday I slept until 8:50 and I had to rush to get to work and even then I was still super late u_u I’ve been reading more Left Hand of Darkness, I gotta finish that thing already!!! I wasn’t huge into the first half but I think the second half is finally clicking, it’s becoming a lot less about the politics and more about the personal level stuff which is what I’m generally more into in books I’ve found. I guess I already knew this, I’ve never been into super politics-heavy stories (not as in about “”"”politics”””” but like…… I don’t want to read stories about government officials arguing about trade routes and stuff, you know?) I think I need to get better about reading more than one book at a time, I’ll often start something and won’t be super drawn to reading more of it at the moment and that just means I don’t read at all. I should start rotating books or something. HRMmmmrmmmrmm much to consider. Wednesday I saw Ninajirachi!!!!! I saw her last year when she toured with Umru which was super fun, but this had a whole other level of energy, like last year I feel like most people were there for umru (also a way smaller venue) but having her headline this time was wild. Amazing crowd energy, great song selection (both tracks off her album and some remixes), incredible visuals, soooooo fun!! I really really need one of those folding hand fans though, there was a guy next to me and Michelle who was fanning us off periodically and it was much needed in that hot venue. The opener 2charm kinda ruled???? I liked their album but I didn’t know much about them, they had such good stage presence, and were doing pushups as dance lmao???? So sick tbh. I hate to say it but the other opener MGNA Crrrta……… they were kinda disappointing. I’m like 90% sure they just lipsynced the entire performance which means they just kinda walked around on stage for 45 minutes lol. I get that they’re really popular for some reason but 2charm was just soooo much better. Thursday was the first pinball league day of the season, I did pretty well! Which is to say, exactly in the middle of the group (14th of 28). A fun time! Finals being in Maine this time makes me far less inclined to go casually tbh, like last time it was fun to just hang out but I kinda can’t see myself doing that this time unless I make a day out of it. Sooooo maybe I won’t be as concerned about going every week when I already know I’m missing a week soon. Had a big Movie Weekend, watched Birdman, Love & Pop, Digger, and Licorice Pizza. Birdman was in prep to watch Digger (insane movie btw), Love & Pop I bought the blu-ray since I just assumed I’d like it (and I was right!) since it’s Anno. Licorice Pizza was one of the last PTA movies I’d yet to see and I was talking with Brina about it because of the Problematic Age Gap relationship in the movie. Which like, at first I was like “ohhhh hrm maybe it’s just a plot device to show each character’s growth” but by the end…… I was proven wrong….. Such a funny contrast after Love & Pop’s problematic age gaps because that one is incredibly aware!! And uses them for character growth!! Definitely PTA’s weakest, like the first 45 minutes were such a vibe but it totally loses me and the last couple minutes especially Digger was kinda insane, saying anything about it would be spoilers and make the experience less fun I think so I will say nothing for anyone reading who may go watch. BUT!!!! I got to see it in vistavision in one of five theaters in the world showing it which was very cool :3c Things I’ve been into this week!!! We Were Bleeding Anyway - From First To Last: huuuuuge new FFTL album, lil lotus is so good on vocals, i need them to tour Tinashe - Popstar (umru Flip): the new tinashe album is fantastic and this umru remix on the bonus version has been stuck in my head since it came out Art I liked!! がーこ (ややみはち): “照” 🤔ﾐﾘｮｸ: “オシャレ🌹” 𝙝𝙖𝙟𝙞 piza: “쿠리만쥬 하세요 . . . #ちいかわ #くりまんじゅう #chiikawa” flemniscate: “(1/31) long distance #xiaolumi”
• Weeknotes 26-39: Parks and Vegas Hiiiiiii not a real post this week since I need to save most of it for a Real trip post!! Rapid-fire trip summary: SLC is a fascinating city from what little of it I saw. Really beautiful views of the mountains and then shockingly flat down the grid-aligned streets Lots of great food, Red Iguana and Perch Coffee in SLC, Communal in Provo Kind of crazy how gorgeous the landscapes are, so, so different from the northeast, wide expanses of rock and low vegetation Listening to Miles Davis In a Silent Way while driving into Arches was a huge vibe (KZMU 106.7, Moab community radio) Crazy being able to walk around at 10pm and still be able to see just on moonlight alone “This would look so much better with a data center here” Primitive trail ruled, super super fun, such a vibe walking around on barely marked trails with maybe five other groups total Canyonlands looked fake, there were some vistas that looked like a matte painting from a movie set Every vacation needs an onsen, we need more onsens in the US I’m totally Swig-pilled, we need a Swig in Boston Primetime (2026), good movie! Vegas public transport is so, so awful IIDX 34 ZINRAI is pretty fun, I had 158 credits on one of my Round1 cards so I got to play for a couple hours for free :3c Wild how the Vegas strip is just Disneyland for drunk adults Also wild how everything is 2x more expensive than normal on the strip Also also wild how there’s no banks and ATMs have a 15+ dollar fee on the strip Vegas is easily the most pedestrian hostile area I’ve ever been in, miserable experience to walk around anywhere, sidewalks being closed so you need to cross the street despite there being 10 lanes of road for cars Tech house needs to be stopped Say what you will about Vegas nightclubs, the light setup at Omnia was kinda incredible Saw Krysten Ritter at brunch??????? Kinda can’t imagine ever willingly going back to Vegas, or if I did I would mostly stick to old Vegas? Though sad we didn’t actually get to see most of Omegamart Really glad that all of John’s friends are cool and I got along with all of them n_n excited for the wedding next month!!! Okay thank you for reading, I will write a real post with photos soon, please look forward to it 🙇 Things I’ve been into this week!!!

• Weeknotes 26-38: Utah fieldnotes Hiiiii I’m in Moab, Utah right now!!!! Writing this in bed while I wait for Nick and Mariah to wake up. I had originally planned on not adjusting my sleep schedule so that we could do really early morning hikes but last night I didn’t fall asleep until like 1am so, lmao. I’ll write a detailed trip blog when I’m back and my film photos are done, but it’s Monday so I Must Blog. Update: now finishing writing this outside the hotel after a very long hike Just because I have no photos from Day One of the trip, I’ll just talk about that here instead of the real blog. I woke up pretty early to get a 9:30 flight to Dallas, I was 100% packed and ready to go since Friday right after work. I sadly had to leave coworker (and friend!!!) Michelle’s game night after only like 90 minutes since I wanted to be able to actually sleep before the flight. I watched three whole movies on the flights: Swing Girls (so good!!), F9 (one of the better ones!), and Ghost Killer (fun!). My first flight had a cat two rows away and someone in my row is allergic so he asked to move so my row had an empty middle seat in it and we could both spread about a bit which was so nice :’) Second flight I wasn’t as lucky but it was much shorter at least! I got into SLC and figured out the train system, checked into my hotel which had a conference going on and was down the street from a Hyrox thing so there were tons of people milling about in the lobby. This mostly just meant every time I got into the elevator someone would be like “oh what floor?” and I’d have to awkwardly be like “oh uh haha no worries” and type in a code into the floor selection because for some reason the floor my room was on was “restricted” which created lots of funny conversations. I went to Red Iguana for dinner which was SOOOO yommy!!!! TY Jeff and John for the rec! I went to sleep as early as I could since I didn’t want to adjust my sleep schedule so we could do early morning hikes, but as I’ll post about in my full trip post that uhhhh didn’t really matter lmao We finished Big Walk this week!!!! Amazing game, easily the best game I’ve played this year and one of my favorite co-op games ever. The final section was so cool and the ending was honestly so emotional, especially playing with like 10 people!! We need to go back and finish every puzzle, but it’ll also be nice to take a bit of a break haha I’m so glad a game like Big Walk exists, I know people love to make fun of “friendslop” games but I think games like this are sooooo amazing, non-competitive multiplayer games as a vehicle for both conversation, but also building a shared language and solving puzzles together. It so expertly balances the discussion of game mechanics with having natural pauses between them to have non-game related conversation, little moments where you can pause and just enjoy a sunset or train ride together. The puzzle design itself was fantastic too, consistently utilizing collaborative solving and decision making, making people develop a unique vocabulary for the symbols, the sounds, whatever that gourd thing is. So many puzzles obfuscate information from each other or have information that’s not clearly communicable so you need to create systems to tell your puzzle partners what lit up or what symbols appeared. It’s so good!!!!!!! So many moments I keep thinking about. I know I know most of the puzzle solutions now, but I’d love to go back and replay it sometime (or I can join Mariah’s game :3 ) Things I’ve been into this week!!! love the new beabadoobee album!!!! also good after album! no art this week since i’m not home and not gonna look at twitter lol
• Weeknotes 26-37 Last full week before my vacation!! I feel like we’re starting to get the tiniest bit of fall weather, the mornings/evenings are cooling off a lot, like when I bike into work it’s borderline chilly (but I’m still wearing shorts). This summer was honestly pretty good weather-wise, though it’s sad that at this point I don’t think I’ll have made it to the beach at all!!!! Which is mostly just due to being so busy, but still!! I went to the doctor for the first time in four years for a physical, as expected everything was fine but good to know officially I guess! I had blood drawn for tests and the person doing it was a student and I almost passed out from a combo of not eating at all that day and her missing my vein 😭 We played more Big Walk and I think we’re almost at the end!! We got inside the Xbox Series X (iykyk) and inserted the first two gourds in there, so there’s only four left and I think that’s it??? Really excited to finish but will also be sad to see it go, but maybe I’ll be able to join for some of Mariah’s sessions lol I went to go see the movie Hope (2026), insane movie! Like actually kinda unbelievable the way that whole thing goes. Not particularly good but definitely a good time at the movies, you know. Makes me want to watch the director’s other very popular movie though, which I’ve heard better things about lol Friday I went to see ISOxo with Jonah and Michelle, SOOO good!! Super glad I finally go to see him after the first time where I left before he went on lmao. Both openers were pretty good, Control Freak played a pretty heavy 2012 brostep set which honestly ruled. Crowd was such a classic EDM festival crowd, never seen so many buff guys in black tank tops before lol. This woman next to me at one point was ripping her vape that at first I thought was a camcorder because of how huge it was. Actually kinda wild how young the crowd was, like lots of Xs on the hands, I have to assume mostly because school just started so it’s all the festival-going BU students. His set was like 1h45m which was soooo much longer than I expected but I’m so glad it was!! BUT that also meant that I was out until like 12:30 and didn’t fall asleep until past 1, and then the next day I had to get up early!! The same group + Brina took the train to Providence to see The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX! Fun day hanging out at the mall like a bunch of teens, Michelle and I got some Chiikawa plushies :3c The actual movie was good, this was my third time seeing it, so it was really just for the novelty of 70mm IMAX. Which, I kinda get! I wish it wasn’t filmed entirely on that, but I appreciate the spectacle of it. Sunday I went to go see Filipiñana with Snow, good chill time and much needed after a non-stop two days before 🙂‍↕️ Things I’ve been into this week!!! Carissa’s Wierd, one of my all-time favorite bands, announced their first new album in 25 years with a really really good single. crazy!!!!!!!!!

• Weeknotes 26-36 I’ve been home all day since it’s labor day and I’m still writing this at 10pm lmao oops. Pretty uneventful week other than stuff happening at work which I’m not going to talk about here, so!!!! Played more Big Walk, played some Quake and UT2004, played some Silent Hill 3, watched some Movies. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah lol Had such a nice interaction with a guy when biking into work on Wednesday, he pulled up next to me on the bridge and complimented my bike saying that I clearly took good care of it, then we chatted about front racks vs panniers vs backpack before he took a turn that I wasn’t. So nice!! What a great little moment!! Olivia was in the area on Saturday so we watched the newest episode of Jet Lag the Game since I have a nebula subscription so I can watch the next episode early. Very sad that she moved so far away, since a 12 minute walk has now turned into an hour on the bus or a 35 minute bike ride for me, brutal!!!!! Two weeks ago I mentioned my upcoming Utah trip to friend of friend Jessica who is a big climber/hiker, and she was like “two 10 mile hikes in two days when you don’t hike? good luck!” so over the weekend I took it upon myself to try to go for a long walk around the city, but specifically focusing on hills to match the elevation gain of the hikes we’re going to do (1,100ft). I didn’t track the first few hills, but I’d estimate the total I did was around 600ft and my legs were killing me after. So I think she was right lmao!!! Definitely need to spend the next two weeks going for long, hilly walks after work to train myself a bit. When I went to Yosemite last year and we walked up to the vernal falls, that was close to 1,100 (but the top was closed, so probably closer to like 800 if I had to guess?). That didn’t feel too bad, but I also had been walking a lot the previous few days so I had kinda warmed up. Vs this trip where I’m just going in cold after a normal work week and then sitting in a plane/car all day. Any day I’m not doing my hilly walks I should be playing DDR to get some stamina back too!!! On that walk I dropped off two rolls of film I’ve shot over the last couple months so I’m excited to finally see those!!! It’s at the point where I definitely don’t remember a lot of the shots anymore (even if I usually take the same shot with my fuji anyway). I watched both of the new Mortal Kombat movies this week. Something really surreal about watching one of these fanservice movies when having basically zero knowledge of the source material. Like I knew a couple characters names and I knew the concept of like….. finishers? So whenever they did a really obvious reference it felt soooooooo cringey which then made me thing like, oh this is probably how every fanservice thing I like is seen by someone not into that thing, huh. Really funny seeing them realize with the second one that people don’t care about the audience self-insert character!!! Things I’ve been into this week!!! Happier Now by Movements: new movements album is good!!

• Weeknotes 26-35 Wow what a week. Started it off with a really great session of Big Walk and went to go see Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (great movie!), then had a really Bad Time at work, and then ended with a fun busy weekend??? I continued my coffee journey, I made ~4 pour-overs this week (with the Broadsheet Uganda Yembek Anaerobic Natural), I’m getting there I think!! Each cup has been better than the last. I’m pretty bad at both pouring and like, knowing by muscle memory the pour rate to hit the times people recommend, but honestly they’ve come out really well as long as I hit the ballpark, so I’m not to worried. It’s yummy regardless :3c Big Walk, great as always! Some really good moments this week! We unlocked the train, and while messing around on it I went to sit on the back edge, but when I stood up I fell off onto the tracks just as we entered a tunnel. I started running after the train down the tunnel, slowly catching up. Just as the tunnel was ending, I jumped up onto the train and someone grabbed me, I was saved!! But then I jumped so I could get off of the person who picked me up and I fell again off the train, this time down a cliffside into a ravine. Thankfully Rachel dropped her walkie-talkie at the same time, so I picked that up and called into the train to tell them to stop, climbing up a hill to the next ground-level train crossing. Then we rode the train around the island before logging off, really nice :’) We played mahjong at work again this week, this time teaching Sarah Chinese-style rules, which I thought went pretty well. Fun game!!! I’ve been playing a lotttt of Mahjong Soul recently, I love riichi but I also love all of the assists that the app gives you, like telling you the number of remaining tiles you need to win and doras and if you’re in furiten and other stuff like that. Afterwards Gabby and I met up with friends Olivia and Emily to see Camp Miasma. Soooooooo good, way funnier than I expected. Gorgeous visually with all of those hand-painted backgrounds. Also really funny movie to watch with a coworker I think lol Thursday……… Not good! One of my coworkers that I’m pretty close to got laid off. Or, well, fired, but that messaging was only changed as of Sunday. Thursday and Friday we were all under the impression that it was a layoff, not a firing. No one is happy about this and the vibes are rancid in the office. Since some coworkers were coming to Thursday pinball she came along to tell the rest of them, we kept trying to convince her to stay for the actual tournament (both because it’d be fun and also to take her mind off of it) but it had been a long day so she just went home. I saw her again Saturday morning when we went to a cafe to chat, I originally wasn’t going to bring up the whole thing but it was kinda impossible not to talk about it, but thankfully it wasn’t all we talked about. The rest of Saturday was a Chilling day. I watched The Guest in preparation for the director’s new movie Onslaught which I’m honestly now more interested in after watching The Guest. Really interesting movie, does some really interesting stuff with tone and genre, shifting from mystery to horror to action, all while being a pretty interesting allegory for The Troops, and also just being a fun movie! Sunday I helped Olivia move out of her apartment, which is exciting for her since she’ll be in a new area of the city and closer to some of her friends and paying less money for more space!! Sad for me since she won’t be walking distance anymore! Good thing we finished up Buffy before this lol. After getting thoroughly exhausted I went out for some friends’ combo birthday party which was fun!!!! We did like 1.5 jigsaw puzzles lmao Things I’ve been into this week!!! 3 Negative Pop(?) Songs by Baths: great new trio of tracks from baths!!!!! i heard two of these live in his last two tours, so glad they finally got released underscores new singles Unlimited Love and The Peace (Frost Children Remix)…… so sick. this frost children remix is like a completely different track from the original lmao iPod Touch (Madeon Remix) by Ninajirachi: madeon’s best song in a decade?????? really liked this any austin video about mapping the river systems in GTAV, my favorite thing to do in that game was virtually hike or bike up the mountains and just take in the beautiful views Art I liked!! oyatsu: “やくそく” Carol Cao: “wip” Velocrema: “#篠澤広” かりた: “生活をする” わろ しめしま💫next→C109: “Oh Just Thing #ウマ娘”
• Weeknotes 26-34 I had a realization late in the week that I did not eat at home for like seven straight days, I’ve been busy though I don’t think any of it is actually too exciting to talk about lol Monday I played (American) mahjong with some coworkers, which honestly just reinforced that I greatly prefer Chinese and riichi rules!! It felt like when you grow up knowing English and then you learn Spanish and all of the characters are the same but they’re pronounced differently, when I got my first hand of tiles I immediately was thinking of yakus I could go for but then I was like “wait that’s not how this version works” and instead I was just getting more and more frustrated with their hand system. I need to force my coworkers to play riichi instead tbh!!!!! Then I went home and played more Big Walk, still incredibly fun! I could probably say all of the same stuff as last week. I got Gabby to play with us and we made some good progress n_n Thursday was another pinball tournament, I got two of my coworkers to come to this one and that made it even more fun!! I loved seeing how excited people were to teach them how to play and make it as welcoming as possible :’))) One of them wants to keep going regularly which is fun, AND she said that she knew another person who was interested and hadn’t heard of the casual thursdays before, so maybe we’ll get another new person to come lol On Saturday I saw Afternoon Bike Ride, really incredible show!!! Maybe 40-50 people total in the crowd? No real stage so all of us at the front were sitting on the floor. They played their new album in full, but every song was changed to fit the live performance from the three of them. Like each of them had cool effects pedals and mixers to do really interesting things, or some songs had their instrumentals completely swapped out for something else (like Miss Universe) since they don’t have a full band to play every instrument, and I don’t think they wanted to purely do a backing track which I appreciate!! Was really nice talking to them after the show, we talked to the guitarist about his gear and guitar and what they were using on stage. Like he plays a G&L guitar that he got for 300 dollars when he worked at guitar center 14 years ago and has kept using it ever since. And his other setup stuff was kinda unconventional, really thick guitar strings, detuned, and then a bass-boost pedal for when they need deeper bass tones, which makes sense because Gabby at one point thought he might just be playing a bass or something. Talking to the singer about the album was fun, and also Ryan Hemsworth since he’s how I found them many years ago lol. They said his new album is really good and worth the wait……… exciting!!!!!! Oh in other big news, I posted on instagram for the first time in like 10 years. I kept having this conversation with people where like, I would meet people and they would ask for my instagram and I’d have to sheepishly be like “ohhh haha um I don’t really use it though…..” and they see a blank profile. Which for someone I’m just meeting doesn’t really come off as me being a Normal Person. Like sure they can get that vibe from talking to me, but if the whole point of wanting the ig is to keep in contact then I feel like I should at least post occasionally to remind people I exist? I guess? I dunno, I have too many thoughts about interpersonal social media etiquette and interactions and I find it all very strange and I will never go into it here since posting about social media on the internet is the most boring thing ever!!!!! Okay I did a bunch of other stuff but I don’t know how exciting “oh I went out for dinner with my friends again :)” is so!!!!!!! until next week 🫡 Things I’ve been into this week!!! noticing these are almost always videos, i need to become more article-pilled again really love these two new effie x eurohead singles, .com and d☆ct (soccer banger), very drain adjacent (.com music video shot by bladee’s brother). also fascinating that she wrote a track on the new KiiiKiii album HEAVEN’S GATE CREW at MOONRAKER 2026: love these guys, banger set as always Porter Robinson at Zedd in the Park 8/15/26 Full Set: porter’s largely been playing the same DJ set for these past few months, but i feel like this is the best version of that set so far. just straight bangers from Frost Children - Falling (porter remix) to everything goes on The UK Coastal Ride Every Cyclist Needs to Try: love a probably riding video, the UK landscape in this one is sooooo gorgeous, i’d love to do something like this Art I liked!! さいとうとも: “🍢” AIKO: “🌧️” おもれ一
