A couple of years ago, I decided to try learning Korean w/ Memrise. At some point I switched to Duolingo & oddly Spanish for no good reason. Thinking of breaking that streak, reset & go back to Memrise & Korean

Today should be interesting after being up yesterday for 21 hours & only getting 3 hours of sleep before starting today. Most certainly will crash at some point

Whilst I can't remember the last time I had Five Guys for lunch, I have a craving which I'm sure I will regret later

Been playing around with Notion for the last month and pleasantly pleased & surprised what I can do with it. Already using it for a central place for habit tracking, task management and Airtable type of stuff. A bit of a learning curve but things are coming together nicely

Again I start the week where I'm caught up on shows & podcasts and here's Friday where I wonder what happened with the big backlogs in both. Busy weekend ahead which includes watching Frankenstein

Decided to give it another go for listening to audiobooks & my biggest challenge which I usually fail at is being distracted as my eyes always have me wanting to do something else instead of focusing on what I am listening to. My comprehension & memory of what I'm hear goes out the window

A benefit of dropping the little watched YouTubeTV is I could now start supporting the various content creators that actively watch that want as little as $5 a month and still come out ahead

Got the email about the YouTube TV/Disney spat & that just finally pushed me over the edge & drop YouTubeTV. Should have done this a while ago as I rarely watch it anyways & for the base w/ the 4k add-on just not worth it for now

After 1 month of letting the beard grow out, decided yeah it needs to go. Too much white and didn't fill out all that well. After a round of trimming it down, I finally shaved it off & going to return to my every 3 day shave

Not sure what is more odd: Walking thru Walmart this morning & Party All The Time is playing or instantly remembering where I was at when it was released (oddly that was another department store with the video playing on multiple tvs)

Have a slew of new games I'm behind in playing & ended up spending all day playing Legion Remix toon in WoW. The non-thinking button smashing was the sweet spot of gratification

Gave the 1st 2 episodes of Critical Role Campaign 4 a whirl & it just wasn't clicking for me. Looking at E3 where it close to 5 hours long I think I'm just going to wisely spend that time elsewhere for the slew of other entertainment things on my plate

For me the @xbox.com GamePass price change is just too much for how I play Ultimate. Funny thing is I'm now seriously considering ditching GP all together

Still way early in the game but decided to beat my head against the wall in Silksong. Yeah I got frustrated with a boss battle but after many, many attempts I got it down. I get the rewarding part to it but dang it kicks you hard. Oh well baby steps

Really digging the new Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max. Already had many folks asking "Is that the new iPhone?"

Been an Executive Member at Costco for many years. Now being able to get in earlier is a benefit & was amazed on how many others agree with that. Probably the busiest I've seen it at open for some time. Extra hour earlier on a Sunday must help. Wonder when Executive+ Membership happens lol

Played a little more Silksong on the Xbox w/ a controller instead of the Switch 2. Still not the easiest thing for me but combat felt a little better. Oh silly me forgetting I have a controller for the Switch 2 as well.

Yay for day early delivery of a new set of Nüobell adjustable dumbbells. Much better than the 20+ year old Bowflex set that was starting to fail

Been using a set of Bowflex adjustable dumbbells which are 20+ years old. Starting to fail with certain plates dropping off. Took the plunge & ordered a new set of Nuobell adjustable. Better design & more weight as well. Gonna fit in w/ the Team Vitality Ladder workouts quite well

Being on the original Apple Watch Ultra, I was ready for an upgrade to the Ultra 3. Plus I get in some trade-in value. Definitely will be getting the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max. Probably will get the AirPods Pro 3 at some point but not critical path....yet

As much as I would like to upgrade to a Watch Ultra 3, I might delay that as I might have a more immediate need for a new set of adjustable dumbbells. Will have to see if announced the features/price as I'd be coming from the OG Ultra
