Had an extravagant dinner at Senia in Honolulu because honeymoon. It involved fresh black truffle and fancy Hawaiian venison and this nice gin drink called a 007.
Unlike most fine dining, I’m stuffed - we didn’t even get dessert, although the yuzu tart looked very tempting.

We have two berried shrimps! This one’s a blue velvet and the other is a green jade, we have a “skittles” tank so the offspring could be any kind of shrimp mudbloods. There’s gonna be soooo many shrimplings!

While everyone else is getting riled up about bad takes, I mended my jeans with sashiko and I think it turned out pretty well (the white marks are tailor’s chalk).

This poor little puppy just CANNOT today. Her paws got cold and snow-balled *while pooping* so she lifted a front paw to lick it and fell over in the snow bank mid-poop.
Boba is doing a fine impression of depression after the trauma of dealing with -15F windchills and snow deeper than her body.

Yesterday was a “snow day” and I won it by 1) completely setting up a Canvas course (from a copy but still) a whole 2 weeks before the semester starts, and 2) making a Black Forest gâteau to satisfy my fiancée’s craving for fancy cake. Did a better job with it than last time, which is pleasing.

Decided to try a clothing no-buy year, relying instead on make-mend-thrift for wardrobe needs.
Started by mending a pair of jeans that was wearing through. If I could get robust jeans that fit as well, I’d pay 3x the price w/ no hesitation. I’m tired of disposable clothes that aren’t worth mending.

Readers, she said yes!
OK so it was a couple weeks ago. But still a big deal!
And yes, I got us silicone engagement rings. There was no way I was buying fine jewelry without her full participation.

Just wanted to brag about the cute Irish-cream-spiked latte that I was handed this morning. That is all.

Finally finished off a knitting project made with yarn that I bought in Brookline MA during CHI 2009. The cotton-linen yarn needed to turn into warm weather wear but yardage was super low, so I couldn’t find a pattern for ages until…
…lo and behold, Look At My Holes! Yeah that’s the pattern name.
