On an Are You Sure themed weekend trip and spotted this license plate in the wild. Army we wish we met you. 🥲

The MTA ruined my TXT concert manicure. I have sent a complaint.

Less about the nail than the safety situation that caused it.

My brother restored our parents’ 1967 bureau for me. I was not an easy client. 😂 But it looks great.

The fandom name is on the butt. Naturally. There is no body part Lee Know loves more than a butt.

I impulsively bought this demented keychain designed by Lee Know exclusively for Japan through a proxy and was sweating the tariffs situation but it has arrived and it is glorious.

Family reunion. Chaotic. Joyful. And they invite us in. 🥹🥹

This would have been catnip to 2018 Nicole (who has seen and reviewed this play and actually thought it needed work)

Thank you to all the Army who made and shared freebies at #HopeOnTheStage in Brooklyn.

Hope on the Stage was a lot of fun. My body however is feeling every minute of it in my bones. 👵🏻🤣

Freebies are ready. Day of the show! #HopeOnTheStage

My Army friend arrived from Canada today so now the J-Hope concert feels real.

Whatever the “local circumstances” are, I’m blaming the Mayor.

Happy Birthday to Min Yoongi! He’s made our lives so much better and brought us so much comfort. We look forward to seeing him soon. 😻

These are limited utility alarm clocks which go off once a day at one time and one time only. 5pm. Their perceived dinner time.

My brain did not have enough caffeine this morning to process this email subject line. It's All Too Much: Comedy about Email.

The opening of Taemin’s concert is like watching Hamlet be danced. It’s a real performance mountain that just keeps escalating. And it’s packed full of all sorts of emotions and he makes it look easy.

It is happening tonight. Taemin. Live. In front of my face.
February 14, 2025 at 12:16 AM
These were no help with the queue. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It was not easy and took a village to get 1 of the 2 Brooklyn shows. So now the resale games begin for the other day.

I didn’t know Helen Park was working on an adaption of Itaewon Class as a musical to premiere this summer in Tokyo! K-drama and musical fans take note!

Without downloading any new pics what’s your energy going into 2025?

(Please note this pen with a capybara wearing a bungeo-ppang on its head says “I’m okay” on it.)
