If everything were to happen the way you want it, wouldn’t it be boring? It would be nice, though, if it happened at least once…

thoughtsStarted to watch “A King’s affection” last night. Upon seeing, on first episode, one of the twins being killed, I completely lost all desire to continue watching. Let’s see what Kim brings next.
kdramas netflix seriesThe British monarchy—or any other, for that matter—is an absolute clown show. Can’t believe that in 2023 there are still “kings” and “queens”. Anyway, moving on.
rantsI have used chopsticks for almost 25 years now. I feel more comfortable eating, and cooking, with chopsticks than I do with forks and spoons. When a spoon is needed, I also favour the “Chinese spoon”. And yes, I use the “standard grip”. I find it far superior to any other but, there are ten thousands ways to use chopsticks.
foodSeriously considering on getting a second PS5 controller. Then I will have to get a charging station, and a $70 thought becomes $100+. Just like that. Hmm.
gamesWhy would any associate justice on the US Supreme Court by exempt from the law? Why do they enjoy such impunity? Who watches the watchmen?
politicsLast time I fell when running I was 13 years old. Today, past my 0x32s, I fell again also while running. I figure it isn’t a record, but a pretty good average, right? Knees, elbow, and hand. As in they were all eagerly waiting for their next turn. Kim asked “How?”, and I replied “I wish I could re-enact it for you, but it kind of hurts now.” 😂

“The man who embraces his mediocre nothingness shines greater than any”.
So funny! The movie might have low ratings, but it was entertaining. Thank you, Kim, for forcing me to watch it. I enjoyed it!
horsie moviesI got an invite to Bluesky, and signed up. It reaffirmed my realisation: social media in general isn’t worth it. The same people following the same people. And I truly don’t know any of them. The same topics, the same memes. It is boring, unappealing, tiresome.
social“Rapid Security Responses are a new type of software release for iPhone, iPad and Mac. They deliver important security improvements between software updates – for example, improvements to the Safari web browser, the WebKit framework stack or other critical system libraries. They may also be used to mitigate some security issues more quickly, such as issues that may have been exploited or reported to exist.” — Rapid Security Responses
This is new, at least for me, and interesting. There seems to be more to gain than to lose by installing, and enabling it. Done!
apple security techReferring to Mormons recruited into the FBI:
“The disproportionate number of Mormons is usually chalked up to three factors: Mormon people often have strong foreign language skills, from missions overseas; a relatively easy time getting security clearances, given their abstention from drugs and alcohol; and a willingness to serve.” — Why Mormons Make Great FBI Recruits
Willingness to serve is right. A rather blind willingness. Perfect!
random tubesToday’s, on a Team’s meeting while still driving home:
First time in three years that I had to join a meeting while commuting. Ran an errant for Kim at lunch, and extended a bit over.
workThe hype is real! We have till the game arrives. Sorry, I just feel like child awaiting Christmas. LOL.
gamesJust realised that, ever since we started micro-managing our time in September 2021, I have worked over 40 hours every week consistently.
workFor as much as I hate doing this, I believe—unless I find a way further down the line to bring in the old entries—this is a fresh start here. Why? Because the way I was crafting these little notes would not scale. At certain point I used Hugo, then wiped it by mistake (because I do idiotic things sometimes), and then I concocted this Frankenstein of a Bash script. The end result is a file that doesn’t allow for easy editing, nor it is portable. So, here we are.
This time I am starting over—again—with Hugo. Everything in life is ephemeral, and this is no different.

japanI have never been good at writing. Short babbles? Yes. Writing, no so much. I think—and this is just me thinking, while avoiding folding the mountain of clothes waiting for me in the living room—it is time to put collantes.us to rest.
life thoughtsRegarding to this, I gave all my items (gems, legendaries, crafting pieces, etc., including everything all my toons were wearing) to my nephew, and deleted the game. A game that severely penalises you for dying—as in going to zero from half level for three deaths—is not worth playing. I had other complaints, but that’s the one who got me fed up first. Unsubscribed from the subreddit as well. Ta-ta!
games“Nobody should ever attempt to take the chocolate out of Willy Wonka! Ever!” before adding “For me, it is sacrosanct. It’s our history, it’s our cultural heritage. I do not believe in censorship in that way.” — Steven Spielberg
I believe there are certain things (and I siding with Spielberg) that we must leave, as a semi-permanent reminder of past stupidities, cruelties, etc. We can change who we are, but must never forget who we were.
movies thoughtsI almost made the mistake to get knee deep into “Path of Exile”. It would have been something to regret. Not really the game I would recommend for someone with OCD.
gamesI am creating all toons for all classes upon the arrival of Diablo IV. They will be Barbarian (male), Sorceress (female), Druid (male), Rogue (female), and Necromancer (female). I am going with a Japanese theme on names. Based on that, which names would you recommend? Please let me know.
gamesAfter eating too many dishes with sticky rice yesterday, and feeling guilty about it, I decided to have a ham and cheese sandwich on black German bread, and a glass of naturally sweetened pineapple juice, as my only meal today.
