Today’s task was to “stalk an animal.” So, this one was easy as I have a stray cat living behind my building. Opee and I go there sometimes on walks as he loves cat poop and keeps me on my toes recognizing when he looks for cat poop or tries to find a spot to pee on. Anyhow, because of…

Today’s task was to “order something off-menu.” Here were my choices: 1. Sauteed foie gras with yuzu-wasabi-soy vinaigrettete. 2. Baby octopi with lavender-smoked berlotti topped with caviar. 3. Siberian scallops on a bed of crispy mango-dipped noodles. 4. Peasant-style roast poussin with jus d’escargot and tomato concassee. Since all sounds like something French will do (although #2 sounded more Italian)…

Sex is dirty: Return to mother. 3. My inner problems are interesting to others: Return to Freud. 4. Love is all that matters: Return to pop…

Today’s task was dedicated to Nostradamus. I am supposed to predict the future for 2050. Here are my predictions: 1. Clothing: although there is a strong possibility that the 1980s will make come back all wearing Gap is more feasible. Yey for discount items. Stock up now. 2. Transport: ditch the hybrids or electric and definitely Teslas (directed at yuppies…

Today’s task was to “do as you are told.” Well, seeing how it is Sunday I can’t really practice it at work nor do I want to. Here comes Opee. Although he is already the king of my household (sans the crown) I decided to go the extra mile. The morning started with him jumping on my bed and snoozing…

Today’s task was “to be on the lookout for paranormal”. here are paranormal things I experienced: 1. Strange wind-like whisper — probably my neighbors paying me back for the fire alarm at 1 am. 2. Unexplained smells — probably my neighbors or the leftover from the previous owner or my house sitter. I am burning candles to get rid of…

Today’s task was to “learn some Swedish.” I started with easy ones that could be as introductory phrases: 1. Hello — Halia 2. My name is — Mitt namn ar… 3. Nice meeting you — Trevlight att rakas Then I thought to move to more complex ones. This is what I selected as you never know what will become useful…

Today’s task was to “test if you are a psychopath.” Here is a test: 1. Glibness and superficial charm (somewhat true. I tend to use it on strangers I have to meet at gatherings at a bar.) 2. Grandious sense of worth (Not true. I have a bad case of impostor syndrome and am generally insecure about 6’1″ in height.)…

Today’s task was to “become an expert of today.” Informative. Here is what I found: Weather in Zambia today — 66F on average. (why Zambia I don’t know. Just because?) The number of wars in progress — we all know about Ukranian war but there are many more. 26 total including Africa and Euro-Asia and Asia. Result of a main…

Yeeeaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh! 2. raaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhrgh! 3. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! My neighbors were not home so I did not disturb anyone (the walls are thin in my condo plus I had a fire alarm going off at 1 am…
