I am on the kick of setting my condo further. I love designing spaces and spend a lot of time at home, so I really need a beautiful and comfortable space to exist in. The living room is finally complete with a new, beautiful, and super comfy sleeper sofa (for visitors), pillows, and lamps. Now I moved onto the bathroom.…
I am proud to say that I am finally entirely self-sufficient. As you might have deduced, I live alone. Most of my friends have either moved to a different state, or I am no longer comfortable asking for help. Sometimes, people do amazing things for you. But I did not have a chance to really thank them for the help…
It’s been a year since I wrote. Many things happen, of course. Such is life. I lost Opee last July. He developed a neurological condition and could hardly stand on his own for a long time. The last walk we went on was very difficult for him as he kept stumbling and his legs bent and were dragging on the…
Today’s task was to “boycott something today.” I chose two things: chopsticks and boycotts themselves. Theoretically, that should cancel today’s task but what would be the fun? Boycotting chapsticks was unfortunate as I just bought sushi for dinner without reading today’s task first. How am I going to eat it like white civilized people emulating the Japanese? But then I…
Today’s task was “to expand my vocabulary.” I chose to use the alphabet for this and then look up random words starting with the letters. I won’t burden you with the whole alphabet but some gems instead. The selection was to randomly put my finger while my eyes were shut on the dictionary: D- Duenna: elderly woman chaperone (since I…
Today’s task was to “write an opening sentence of your future novel.” Well, I consulted many before I wrote mine. The one that won is the one from Tolstoy for one of my favorite books “Anna Karenina.” It’s the only book I brought with me when I moved to the US. I am sure there are many others with great…

Today’s task was to “Parachute. Make and test your own parachute today.” So, seeing how I don’t have access to a roof or don’t want to climb a tree I opted to jump from a bar stool (which is higher than a regular chair and has time to open the parachute). Now to constructing one. At first, I thought I…
Today’s task was to “go on a one-man protest.” well, for me it was “one-woman’s” At first I thought I’d just make a sign “I deserve better” and stand on a corner of my street. But then I thought what if someone reports it to my HOA. Really don’t want to deal with them as the last time I dealt…
Today’s task was to perform striptease (in private). OK so private went out of the window as I have all my window shades open because if they are not I get claustrophobic. But my neighbors across keep them shut so I guess it was somewhat private. (Note: I have no idea how people live in small boxes without natural light).…
