Happy Lunar New Year! Welcome the year of the fire horse!

In Korea, they celebrate Seollal (설날) and kpop idols will frequently mark this time with videos offering well-wishes for the new year.

Here are my beloved #BoyNextDoor and their Seollal message to OneDoor!

This is a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your mobile device.

(Note: this is not my cat. I do not keep a pet. This is M's parents' cat.)

I just learned there is a Super Smash Brothers player named Rapmonster. 😆

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

The best part about their playlists is that they are on YT Music, so I was able to add them to my library! *dances*

Taehyung having Radiohead's "Creep" in his playlist is hilarious.

It happened again.

This time it's @dailykos.com who is publishing a plagiarized AI-generated slop version of my work, brazenly right down to the title, "A Field Guide to Japanese Yokai" which is lifted directly from my book "The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons: A Field Guide to Japanese Yokai."

My gosh.

Who is doing it like #BTS? No one.
This comeback is going to be so epic.

My sister sent me this this morning.

What a wonderful thing!

Dreamed I was visiting a remote village who were having an annual celebration. Turns out that they were some sort of cult and they were all very excited because, it seems, this was the only time of the year they engaged in sex. But they were too collectively embarrassed and spoke in euphemisms.

I "finished" playing Escape from Mystwood Mansion.

I say "finished" because I didn't complete all the tasks to unlock the last area. *sigh* I did one of the three! But not all three. Especially as I thought the first room (not the entrance hall) was the library. 🤦 *annoyed at myself look*

I need an official trailer for "Die Blutgräfin". Why can't I find one? 🧐

I helped one of my company's former employees prepare documentation and receive their company pension.

They sent me a letter of thanks with two lottery tickets. The ones you scratch off.

I don't know how these work. 👀

*reads instructions*

Wait, I am supposed to scratch all of them? 🧐

I've become a person who is always cold. I hate this.

...

TBF, I used to be a person who was always hot. In the big picture, being always cold is better than always hot because one can only take off so much before one can't be around polite company.

I've structured my life around space heaters.

Yesterday was my #NewBeat bias's birthday.

A lot of kpop idols give their fans gifts on their birthday. For his 18th birthday, Yunhu gave his fans a cover song. He's typically the rapper in Newbeat, so it's so lovely to hear his vocals! 😍

Happy Birthday, Yunhu! 🎉🎊🎂

I finished "Service Model" on the way to work.
Really solid, entertaining book. Funny and absurd and I kept giggling whenever God was referenced.
What if, even as you replace everyone with robots that are cheaper and quicker and less likely to join a union or complain about working conditions, you also continue to insist that individual value is tied to production, and everyone who’s idle is a parasite scrounging off the state? -Service Model

I tried home micro-needing for the first time tonight.

I gotta be honest...
I prefer getting tattooed. 🤦

It's less about the pain and more about the annoyance. If the tools worked consistently with no issues, I may have a different opinion. I may get used to it, but my first time was unpleasant.

Spent several hours this evening playing "Escape from Mystwood Mansion". Fun! I really enjoy puzzle games. The puzzles aren't particularly difficult, but it is fun focusing on observation.

One of my teenage crushes. I adored him and a lot of his work, from the 70s to this side of the century line. (I even liked "Bates Motel". 👀)
