Personal Updates
Recap: I went to an interview and they ghosted me again 😂 I’m not worked up about it though since I wasn’t really that interested. Tattooing has been picking up as well so I’m not too worried (plus my husband got a really good position). YAY!
I’m still kind of just going with the flow with life, shop stuff, and trying new things.
Alsoooo my parents came to visit and I’m physically and mentally exhausted… I’m glad they had fun (after having at least 1 mental b during their stay with us). Speaking of my parents 🤔 whenever they visit we always go out and try a bunch of new food places or at least sometimes new to them. So I’m excited to share about the places we took them here.
Is it sad to say that I haven’t really been listening to a lot of things during the past couple of weeks? I’ve been entertaining my parents for a bit and working so I think anything that I’ve heard was in one ear and out the other.
But I can at least look through my Spotify to see what I’ve been playing most.
UGLY - The GazettE (yes I’m still healing from Aoi being kicked out of the band 🥲)
RAGE - The GazettE
What’s up, people?! - Maximum the Hormone (I’m like at least the top 5% of listeners)
COLORS - FLOW
Apollo - Last Dinosaurs
And more but I feel like I hear this and maybe a few JILUKA songs thrown in there.
I recently went down to the new(??) Barnes and Nobles downtown and was browsing around. It’s been a while since I last went to a physical chain bookstore and NOT needed to have a diabolical shit 😂
It was very nice and had two floors but I didn’t see anything that I truthfully wanted to read. My husband bought the Atomic Habits book though so we didn’t leave empty handed.
I also kind of thought being part of a book club would be fun 🤔 but I don’t like being strapped down to reading other things at a set amount of time.
I’m still watching scary videos and scary gameplays. I’m really sucked into Tomodachi life so I like to put on easier to listen to videos while I play. That sounds bad but it really helps me focus 😂 (Now imagine both devices are playing at full volume).
I’ve been mainly cooking at home but lately here are some of the recipes I’ve tried to make and places I’ve eaten out at that I recommend!
Cafes/Restaurants/Bars
Tendon Kohaku - CID
I was able to get a reservation for 9pm with my parents. I would like to say it was definitely worth the wait.
The portions are very big and they have a really good variety of stuff to choose from if you don’t want tempura.
Manzoku Izakaya - Belltown
The same team from Shinya Shokudo! I didn’t realize that they either were under new management or just changed their name.
I always enjoy coming here for AYCE but I just really like eating skewers.
Again they have more than skewers there so you have a lot of different dishes to choose from.
Hazlewood Bar - Ballard
Mostly a cocktail bar but they do have beers and stuff.
A lot of open seating and fun things to look at. We personally sat in the lofted area which was nice and quiet.
The draft sale went soooo well that any left over guys not claimed will be finalized for full price soon. I think this will definitely help me while I’m struggling with ideas and feeling the burn out.
My June and July books are quite open as well if you are interested in getting something done within the next few weeks!
Got suggestions???
Final thoughts
Thanks for reading! I’ll be more concise about what I write about later but it’s nice to just share a bunch of shit to a smaller group of people. Less pressure to be perfect uwu
Here’s my favorite meme I’ve been using (it reaaaalllly sums up how I felt most days my parents were here)
