    I’m going to go for a nice nature hike this weekend. It’s going to be cold outside but just the right kind of cold where my fingers don’t get numb, and my face gets and stays chilly the whole time. Will be good. High chance of seeing a squirrel or squirrel like creature. I’ve got this perfect windbreaker that works great. I will probably start with silicon earbuds and music in but eventually take them off to really get some nature sounds in my life.

    I will just have iced coffee in the morning, water during the day, and then just absolutely demolish some Mexican food on rare cheat meal after the hike.

      Branching off of this,the smell of cold air. Its so clean. Also,if indoors,the smell of cold from an aluminum window frame. One of the best childhood memories for me.

      That sounds absolutely amazing. Especially this:

      just the right kind of cold where my fingers don’t get numb, and my face gets and stays chilly the whole time.

      You put that into words so well. I love that sensation. And the cool, fresh air, when you take a deep breath.

    I’ve been wanting to get into a new hobby but damn hobbies can be expensive. But it’s giving me a sense of excitement I haven’t had in a while and it breaks up the monotony of the working grind.

    The one I’m trying to get into is homemade FPV drones. Building from scratch, just like building a PC. Sourcing the frame, motor, electronics. Soldering and configuring. Flight testing and tinkering. More fun I think than just buying an off-the-shelf DJI Mavic.

    The parts themselves don’t cost all that much but it adds up fast.

    I have been collecting game consoles for nearly a decade, and the collection is beginning to round off. I have nearly every Atari, Sega, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox console released in North America. It has taken a long time, and a lot of deal finding, but it is a rewarding task/hobby.

    Thank you for your time.

        Unfortunately time isn’t something I have much of, but when I do I try my best to sit down and play something. I usually tend to lean towards my NES or Super Nintendo, but I just recently got an Atari Jaguar and a copy of Doom. So that’s been the latest time waster : )

        Have any good ones for your PS1? I always loved Crash Bandicoot 3, childhood classic for me!

          I have one of my favorite games on it: Final Fantasy IX

          I’d like to get the original Resident Evil, but the PS1 version is super expensive now

            Trust me when I say; The video game market went up during Covid, and now it just denies to go back down. I’ve bought a couple consoles from Japan just because they’re cheaper, and some of them are region free.

              I used to have a N64, GameCube, PS2, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, and Wii, but I gave them away. I never thought they’d go up in price so drastically.

                I’m fairly sure all of those except the PS2 and Wii are region free (without modding). If you ever go to wanting them back, grab one on eBay from Japan. Significantly cheaper, and you can play the same games!

    Something that makes me happy is having a personal project to work on. Like right now, I’m brainstorming and doing research for writing a fanfic. Have I ever written a fic before? No. Will I actually write this one? It doesn’t matter. I’m having fun preparing for it, and if I get distracted by some other project and start working on that instead, and the cycle perpetuates indefinitely and I never finish a single project, it doesn’t matter. I’m enjoying the journey.

    Consuming some japanese media with fast noodles. When I download a new tittle or start a new game it feels almost like a ritual to eat them. That’s nothing like ramem MCs are consuming on-screen and not very healthy if eaten for long, yet it’s fun.

    I was approached by a guy who recently moved to the area and needed help getting some things printed. I walked with him halfway to the library and we chatted about stuff. Hope to see him around town again

    My wife let me buy a Prelude for my birthday last year. It was a big deal because we don’t normally have the cash on hand to just buy a car, and she put off some house projects she really wanted to get done to let me do it. The car does need some TLC, but it still runs and drives good half a year later. Sometimes people throw me a shaka sign or a thumbs up. I love getting to drive stick again. It makes driving fun, like I’m 16 again. Feels good, man. I’m one lucky guy, and my wife just gets me.

    Seeing other people happy makes me happy.
    Making other people happy gives me life.

    And I’ve managed to make huuuge progress concerning certain blahaj-related things, and that is just… can’t even put it into words, really
