Watched: It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown 🍿
Charlie Brown may receive the title treatment but this is really a story about Linus and Sally. Linus believes that his faith will reward him and proselytizes to Sally whose sacrifice of Tricks or Treats ultimately teaches us that men are idiots. 5/5
New Balance 574
I have now acquired my second pair of New Balance 574 and I feel like they check so many boxes for me. The fit and comfort suit me fine. I’ve been wearing the first pair for at least half a year and they are reliable. A good value. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Trader Joe’s Popcorn with Herbs & Spices
Context: I’m trying to force bulk through my system to get my digestive process happy after eating an unexpected spicy dinner.
“savory seasoning blend including dill, celery seed and onion” is tasty and easy to snack on. ☆☆☆☆★
Hi-Chew Gummies
Apparently I’m just posting about candy. I may have picked these up at a japanese market on a whim and ate in the dark at the cinema. Peach, mango and strawberry flavors. They have filling inside which of course reminded me of gushers. I like them better than gushers.
Trader Joes Fruit Jellies Candy
File this under: random things I bought because I haven’t seen them before and with Trader Joes I might never see again. Product of the UK, contains wheat. Peach, cherry, mango, pear. A fun little treat.
I regret that I have to say this, but if I cannot read what I wrote, the notes I take are useless. I guess I have to type it because my handwriting is the problem.
Roterfaden A5: I am trying new things 🖊️
I may keep my brain in my pocket but I want to try new things and experiment and have room for imperfections. This is why I bought a Roterfaden at Baum-kuchen. The cover has clips to let me swap notebooks and inserts. And yes that is a Jetstream Lamy.
Baum-kuchen is a cake, shaped like a cross section of a tree. From the German, “Baum” meaning tree and “Kuchen” meaning cake. It is also the name of a stationary store that was located in Altadena. Today they held a soft opening at their new location in Eagle Rock. I was very pleased to see the store busy.
Feedback for Electrify America
Electrify America sent a survey email to ask how likely I would recommend to family / friend and so forth. I don’t think a numerical range is capable of explaining that I would recommend them but would immediately complain about them to lower expectations. 7/10 ?
