I've seen the movie but I was very drunk at the time. I really should get around to reading it.

I like "tristes de cabeza," such a nice turn of phrase.

Psh. I will admit that I have no love for sad poetry like the…vast majority of what Neruda’s put out, but even still.

It is with great horror that I sometimes reflect on the fact I am capable of unironically enjoying Nickelback.

I have horrible taste in music, it seems.

I’m late to this but, of all things, why do some social media influencers feel the need to fake having medical conditions? Take IG model Sarah MacDaniels. She claims to have heterochromia, which causes her eyes to be two different colors.

When you look at closeup photos of her, you can clearly distinguish that she’s wearing a colored contact lens in one eye. Her father even published a photo of her as a child where you clearly see she’s brown eyed.

She’s beautiful as she is. Why lie? Special snowflake-ery is not necessary. Smh.

Yesterday, my fiancee sent an email to her parents back in Japan about us getting engaged. We just heard back and they are extremely happy. It turns out that they had already secretly considered me to be like family for quite a while now :)

As for my side of the family, my sister is happy about it, but everyone else is apathetic...

Glad to hear, though.....at least her side of the family (and your sister) show that they are happy for you both. Congrats again, I guess?

That's rather sad and pretty joyous news. Glad your sister and your sort-of family in Japan care.

Me at 6:00 AM, wandering through the weirdness that is Running Man while being absolutely sleep-deprived: This is fine.

Also me at 10:00 PM the next day: I need sleep

So essentially, my sleep moods fluctuate heavily. I am a night owl however, so the second option is much less common.
