I switched from learning Mandarin on Duolingo to Airlearn and am enjoying it so much more. I do think Duo is a good starting point for ppl w/ no exposure to the language, especially for pronunciation practice.

Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you ate the candy 🍬

DMing you

Don’t ask how much I spent. I basically blew my monthly allowance and still have TwitchCon next week and Paul McCartney the week after that. Guess it’s going to be a no spend November this year 🫠 no regrets

My friend Amiee got in the long merch line b4 I was at the venue so I asked her to buy my stuff. She said sure, what do you want…

Me: 1 of everything
Her: Cap? Poster?
Me: ALL OF IT
Her: Vinyl, pins, cassettes too? And both posters for Austin and LV?
Me: AMIEE!! ALL OF ITTTTT
Her: Loooooool

I am not the ATX person you want to visit Austin w/ for trendy restaurants. I eat and mom & pop’s and food trucks

The unsolicited trash DMs I get vary by platform
Twitter: nft project pushes
IG: luxury bag collab offers
TT: sugar daddy offers

I’m excited I have an intern that will be checking my IG DMs soon bc that place is a mess and stresses me out. I hate Meta

I kept randomly smiling today excited abt it ☺️

If you’ve ever wondered what I eat, not one day will go by without me eating either fage total blueberry yogurt or hummus, M-F it’s probably both.

I have a theory that ppl don’t talk enough about OKGO music videos bc their artistry just makes everyone else look lazy (in all fields)

I made a hard decision in August. Someone I really respect found out abt it today and texted me to see how I was & tell me what I did was brave.

Most of the ppl that know what happened won’t see it that way. But the women closely tied all understood, so I hope it inspires them in future situations

Sunday:
Friend txts are you going to X show
Me: no, I’m not buying any more concert tix this year, pretty booked
Monday:
Friend: did you see Y is playing next week?
Me: what?! No. [buys tix immediately] 🫠

Was prepared to curse my partner in Spanish and Mandarin to test out his new AirPods. Mandarin isn’t available, yet, but it perfectly translated my Spanish to him

I never understood why guys hit on women in relationships until recently when someone said you only have to be better than one guy to win her. And you know what, I actually think that’s really smart🫠

[light nonsense for the terrible times we’re in]

Spent most of my vacation unwell in a hotel bed. So what did I do to cheer myself up? Ordered the hotel bedding set so that when I got home my bed would be just as cozy to be in. Zero regrets

Thoughts on shows: Halt and Catch Fire and Silicon Valley

They ended up getting out of line w/ an hour wait left. Pretty sure that guy is now out $350, and is going to have a bad week😬

The line to get out & onto the shuttles at the Rose Bowl was so long that a couple behind us fought for over an hour. The guy kept complaining, but didn’t want to pay the ride share ppl $350. Pro tip: either leave the show before it ends or pay to park & wait a long time comfortably in ur car

I’m incredibly jealous

Rock bands that go from clubs to stadiums should take note of the visuals Oasis has this tour. New Order has good ones, too. When we can’t see the members in the band on stage, we need something to look at.

Screenshot of video I’ll share tmw

I once refused to see a band I love play on Valentine’s Day bc I knew it would be full of couples all over each other and that’s not my concert vibe.

I’m now at Oasis behind two obnoxious couples. The dudes keep grabbing their partner’s butts😓

I am a long haired girlie. But best believe I keep my hair in check and don’t swing it everywhere around ppl at concerts. Nobody wants that

I’m loving how many ppl are wearing Oasis merch at the Oasis show💖

My oldest brother has always dressed like old money. One day when I was a teenager he said that wearing band tees all the time made me look like a walking billboard. In true teenager fashion I said “I want to be a billboard”😅 Now I get to “tweet” abt the bands/art I love, too!

I have lots of thoughts on LLMs that I won’t share online bc this is where nuance goes to die. But I will say this: Please do not use LLMs to ask what the weather is like outside

There are plenty of free and more environmentally friendly ways to get that information. I can’t believe ppl do this😑

Driving from TX to CA tmw for a weekend of shows:
Get Up Kids / Jawbreaker (need a ticket? I might have an extra)
Oasis

This is my first travel that is 100% not work related at all since ‘15

Roadtripping bc I hate airports. I’d rather spend more time on a nice drive than multiple hours in hell

I did not respond to a single email. As a Swiftie my focus was gone as soon as the news hit🧨

Reminder: Forks is the best The Bear episode

What level of geek am I? I just referenced Star Wars movies and audience reactions to explain why ppl react a certain way to character art evolution 😅

I love getting birthday cards, especially ones w/ the perfect sentiment.

Friday was my birthday, and somehow my brother got me a card w/ the same msg as he’d given me years ago.

It’s so perfect for our relationship he should actually go back and buy them in bulk for each year😅
