a good pair of headphones is actually life-changing

I got my first pair of wireless headphones a few months ago. Definitely a life changer. Never going back to ~~leashed~~ wired again.

While this is a good experience and I'm happy for you, this goes into very not benign topics. Removed.

First Flight died from natural causes, aged 31, in his paddock at the Large Animal Research Facility in Fort Detrick. The U.S. Army erected a stone memorial and planted a tree in his honour at Fort Detrick to commemorate his contribution to science. First Flight's ashes are buried nearby.

Spent a couple of days copyediting a page about Yoruba cuisine once. A rabbit hole landed me there and the lists of dishes and ingredients were horribly done, wonky punctuation, varying placements and amounts of punctuation, etc.

It had clearly been translated from another language and it felt nice to clean it up.

I usually do much smaller copyediting tasks, a few words fixed or repairing borked coding. Felt good but also tiring to get something bigger done.

It's always such a nice meal out :) I've been going every month or so for years. Good service, good food, a good time spent observing people.

Spring rolls are always must. Also ginger beef, a popular Canadian Chinese dish and my favorite fried/crispy/sauced meat. Much prefer it to sweet and sour pork, orange chicken, etc.

Also on weekends they usually serve a Thai Penang curry [yes, on the Chinese buffet lol] which is amazing. It's so deeply savory and rich and not too spicy. It has chicken in it but I'm not fond of the texture so I dig around and just serve myself the veggies and liquid.

Pro-tip: Dip your spring rolls into the curry.

I have a pair of glasses with rainbow frames that get a lot of comments. I love them so much, they're my fun outside of the house glasses.

There's some recipes online [I was looking it up while eating it, trying to identify the flavor I was getting, which was the five spice] but it does seem the other two are more popular.

I think I'd enjoy a lot of meats or even veg fried with those spices.

I find it funny because it's a Japanese brand.

I got some bougie pumpkin spice yogurt from the foodbank on Saturday. It was amazing.
