I'm turning 40 years old in a few months. I have never once thought 'am I too old to...?'

Life feels like a choose your own adventure game which is fun and exciting, always.

Some ideas I've had this week:

1. Go to law school
2. Research anglerfish bioluminescence
3. Learn to play flamenco guitar
4. Write the gay version of crazy rich asians
5. All of the above?

Someone once told me that my superpower is maybe 'thinking many random thoughts and then actually doing them'

I think I just have so many interests and never, ever being bored is my superpower

Still working through last week's ideas... mostly learning how to crochet :)

I miss caring for a dog. The universe heard me (taking care of a friend’s dog for the week)

It’s a β€˜tiki’ bar with too sweet drinks and not great NA options, and middle of the road food that looks like it should taste good but is not

I think there are two types of people in Monterey: people who love Hula’s and people who hate it (like me)

I really like taking the bus (all buses. Anywhere)

the ceo of scale AI wrote, in 2020, that you should hire people who give a shit: https://alexw.substack.com/p/hire

in 2025, he made bank and laid off 14% of his staff, ostensibly people who all give a shit

don't give a shit for someone who doesn't give a shit about you

In Aug 2018, I took Cookie on two planes, to California where she lived a life of luxury and peace and snacks.

I loved taking this trip with her. She was a great traveler (very quiet, except for the loud snores, people didn't even know she was on the plane)

I miss her so much but I also appreciate that we had 15 long and great years together

At a very hipster bakery. They had a new pastry. I asked what it was. They said β€˜samosa’ except they pronounced it like β€˜smores’

β€˜S’more’sa’

So obviously I felt like an idiot because I said β€˜sorry what! I don’t know what you’re saying’ like 5 times
