Week 530

  • Had a brief covid mini-scare and stress tested how easy and quick it is to get a test in San Francisco. Sort of easy, but a pain in the ass to locate if you're not web-savvy. A lot of "wtf, why is it like this".
  • Consequently bought a bunch of these home tests. My British pals are surprised we don't have home lateral testing. I'm sorry - did you forget where we live? The FDA has not given us access to such sanity changing devices.
  • We don't have covid. Yet.
  • Did some culture - visiting the Nam June Paik exhibition with Monica. She described it well in her own weaknotes.
  • Had one not very good ikebana class and one quite good ikebana class. Feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things. Also, I'm speaking more Japanese in class!
  • Ate a really delicious pancake today. It was ube and in a bright purple coconut sauce, obviously meant for the instagram.
