Hey, did you ever wish there was a MURDER SHE WROTE meets the Shire TTRPG? Well, now there is and you can get a copy here. I was lucky enough to playtest this and it was great fun. I also did some of the artwork. Check it out!

For every one person who likes golf there are three people who only play to know what's really going on in the office.

Hiked CheonWangBong, second highest peak in Korea, and absolutely the worst hike ever. I now RAGE thinking about these fucking rock stairs Korea insists on using for trails when they cause so much injury. I can’t wait to hike where switchbacks exist.

나는 괜찮아 (i’m kenchana)

Guess who got into it with an Ajosshi this morning *during a hurricane* because her dog decided to poop on the sidewalk outside of his front gate.

When he saw things I immediately said "I have a bag" and showed him, picked up the offending ~matter and he continued to yell.

I get that feminism gets clicks, especially in Korea, but I disagree that it’s the reason the Barbie movie “flopped” here.

They are not wrong about attitudes towards feminism but it’s not a direct causation imo

What did I do to help my executive disfunction in trying to pack to move? I absolutely threw everything in a pile and just indescriminently started tossing stuff. My ex's knee brace post surgery? No, lizard brain you don't need it "just in case you hurt your knee". It has been tossed.

I officially have 27 days left in Korea...25 days left in the town I've lived in since I landed...I have a lot to do but am feeling executive order stuff is overwhelming...I'm about to just put everything in a big pile in the middle of the floor an just dealing with things that way.

I can’t wait for Pokémon Sleep to catch on in Korea and kids finally sleeping more than 3 hours a night then coming to class and snoozing.

Went from 89gb of lessons in my Goodle Drive to 39gb and all of my (non-textbook) lessons from over the years total to 7gb....and it's going to take 5 hours for all of that to upload to Google Drive. So weird reflecting on 8 years of work.

I can't wait until I am not nagged to death to update my computer because my MOE wants to install more bloatware on my work desktop. One month until I'm on a jet plane...

I have had a weather induced migraine since 4am and it's still persisting. I excused myself to a dark room for like an hour but coming back into the office of flourescent lights is just awful. I need sunglasses.

I have almost been hit in the crosswalk 3 times the past two days. One driver even speeding up as he came towards me/others crossing.

2 confirmed COVID cases from kids attending my camp this week. I tested yesterday afternoon and evening and was in the clear but about to test again…crossing fingers my mask wearing has paid off. (I’m the only one still masking in the office and classroom)

This speaks to my soul
Honestly I think we should all go back to zines. You want human interaction, xerox your thoughts and hand them out to strangers like a normal person.

Went for an hour long walk with these goofballs. Sprinkled in a little running to get them used to running with me.

Prepping for my Mt. Fuji hike and most people "reviewing the hike" are bitching that they couldn't see anything on the way or at the summit.

No shit sherlock, you're hiking above the clouds? What did you expect? That in and of itself is really cool and not something you can usually experience.
