Insipid

I can't believe I once liked Kanye West.

High winds in my apartment are quite scary. The winds cause the balconies to vibrate, and that can be felt throughou the building. 😬

Well, it's probably gonna be gone for good soon. Oh well.

What's with this Dry January shit? Boomers drinking themselves too much to an early grave? Young people are drinking much less these days.

Wanna see fugg's hooha? It can warp you to another dimension.

I think I finally got a really good one that no one has mentioned yet this late into the thread: I greatly prefer e-readers to physical copies of books.

Oyakodon, natto, and kimchi. My dinners have been very East Asian so far in the new year. I can't complain; they tend to be healthier than Western dinners.

Day 10: I moved my belt buckle down one hole, so I'm not imagining things anymore.

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?

Day 8, my clothes are finally starting to feel loose. My anxiety is down at least 80 percent and I think it's because I severely decreased my sugar intake. I hope this lasts. I really do have a good feeling about this.

Salmon, rice, kimchi. First dinner I had under 500 calories in a long time.

Fortunately, nothing of note happened in Japan on January 4. Yeah, there is no four, but four 四 is unlucky as it shares the same pronunciation as death 死, shi. (Also, this will be my last post on the matter, lawl)

At my storage area, there are huge storage units that are locked by padlocks. Anyone can come in with bolt cutters and steal the shit inside. I just don't get it. You're paying 150 dollars a month, but you can't just buy a proper 20 dollar disc lock?

Joking aside, I'm not really one to take superstitious beliefs that seriously. Just an unfortunate start to the year for Japan.

January 3: stabbing incident on the subway in Akihabara, Tokyo. What the hell have you done to Japan, ghostrek? 🤬

Youtube kept recommending me videos of fish and chips so . . . I got that. British food is pretty underrated, tbh.

Day 6 of dieting, down three pounds. I accidentally binged ate last night, but it wasn't a lot. I think I should eat more calories. I'm aiming for two pounds a week. Supposedly, you get gallstones if you lose weight too fast. I want to keep my gallbladder; I want to still be able to eat fatty foods.

Black tea has a ridiculous amount of tannin and it irritates the hell out of my stomach when it's empty. I can drink green tea, oolong tea, herbal teas, and coffee just fine on an empty stomach, fortunately. Also, alcohols darker in color tend to be higher in tannin, and they contribute to worse hangovers.

Japanese hamburger, gyudon, kimchi, rice

Now there was a plane crash in Japan. Japan is not off to a good start in the year of the dragon.

20 pounds in body weight is 70,000 calories 😭

Aw, now I feel bad. From the sounds of it, it's nowhere near as bad as the 2011 Tohoku disaster. The tsunami warning was downgraded to an advisory. Natural disasters of this scale happen at least once a year in Japan. They'll be fine, ghostie.

Shrimp tempura, natto, cucumber kimchi, rice.

An earthquake with a tsunami hit Japan today. Godzilla was fucking the giant squid again. All your fault, ghostrek.
