Remembering the time I eat edible underwear. They tasted like candy. Sorry, candy wrapper. Most troublingly, I can’t remember why I ate it.

There’s Magic: The Gathering players around, and I’m resisting the call. Must. Not. Fall. Back. Into. Another. Expensive. Hobby.

Had a lovely visit to Houston. Sad to leave my buds behind but glad to be back in New York. It’s cold tho.

Passed a shop in Houston with the motto: “smoke, vape, hookah, wellness”

Friends showed me Rebecca Black sung by Bob Dylan. It is Friday, after all. 👨‍🍳💋

Did anyone else play Gorillas back in the day? Still holds up.

You ever get a random song stuck in your head, apropos of nothing? Today it’s Come Sail Away (with meeeeee lads).

I’ve been really addicted to Suika. It’s a falling fruit, physics-based puzzler, and I can’t stop playing.

Here’s my contribution to the “what apps am I using?” posts.

I made a black and white version of a shot my cousin took in LA.
