In 2010 I took a short work hiatus which meant I was often home for most of the day. Back then Netflix wasn’t really a thing, so I would often have local cable TV playing in the background of whatever I was doing. And it was because of this that I started regularly watching police procedurals. They’re not the cleverest or most highbrow of shows, but they’re more like a guilty pleasure.
I found this great article the other week about Why You Should Start A Blog Right Now.
The whole thing is absolutely worth a read, but my favorite part is at the start where he enumerates a list of reasons why he wrote particular posts, and it sent me down a rabbit hole again of evaluating why I write on this blog, and whether it was an endeavor worth continuing.
The world’s crises continue to settle in, but at least we have no new entries. The coronavirus continues to spread, will probably be a while before it tapers off. Our dear president, in his finite wisdom, has decided to withdraw from the US-PH visiting forces agreement. I’m sure our Chinese masters approve.
The Oscars were held last week. Didn’t watch or anything, but happy for the Parasite win, about time for a foreign language best picture.
Kawilihan bakery, practically an institution of Anonas Street. IDK when it was established, but we bought our morning pandesal there everyday when I was a child, so imagine it’s been there at least 40 years now
“I’m quitting tech to become a better person and I am not a fan of the show.” Sounds about right. The problem with these things though is that I usually have predictive text off. (It’s a crutch I don’t like it)
Finished Tales of Berseria today. Pretty good game, fairly sure I enjoyed it more than Zestiria. Now the question is whether I push for the platinum now or take a break and play something else for a while…
I read a tweet earlier (could not find it anymore) that said something along the lines of “sometimes i am of value, sometimes i offer nothing”, and I was like damn, isnt that an accurate description of the human condition
We’re enjoying ourselves at the time travel theme park when we notice small flying insects appearing and disappearing around us. We asked the guide what they were and why they appear.
I had a very long convo with globe customer support via messenger about that unliBB thing (took 3 days because they took so long to respond between messages). Adding new charges to a bill without confirmation should be illegal
2020 movies no. 18: Knives Out. “A fantastic murder mystery, maybe the best I’ve ever seen, great performances all around.” https://roytang.net/lists/2020/movies/
I suppose we should be grateful that we didn’t receive any new portents of the apocalypse in the past seven days. Unless you count the US senate refusing to remove Trump from office. And maybe we should. If only the aftershocks of US politics didn’t affect rest of the world so much then we would all just be laughing at them instead.
Oh, and the coronavirus is still going strong apparently.
Stream recap: 1.25 hrs. Finished the prior draft 5-3, then started a new one and almost immediately lost 1-3 lol. More next week! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r43NOh1vwlA
2020 #movies 17: Uncut Gems. “Sandler gave a good performance, but I struggled to get through the early parts of the movies because his character and situation are so unrelatable to me personally.” https://roytang.net/lists/2020/movies/
@Tejinder_dass@WindowsUpdate you need to create BingSearchEnabled entry yourself. Or you can check the replies to my earlier tweets, there were some other suggestions. Or just wait for @WindowsUpdate to fix it
