I had a butter pecan hojicha latte today at a coffee shop I don't regularly frequent. It was a seasonal special, and I fear this may become one of those food experiences you dream of years after and can never find again.

It turns out I do get ABC, so I am watching Dancing with the Stars for Amber Glenn and Amber Glenn only. I have not watched this show since I was in college and Zendaya was on it. Zendaya didn’t win, so I never watched it again.

There is a fitness expo of some sort happening in the other convention center building from the Worldcon, and the contrast between the SFF fans and the fitness folks is bringing me endless amusement.

I will be at Worldcon this weekend! Say hi if you see me! I will also be skipping the convention tomorrow and Monday to go to Disneyland because nothing can keep me away from Disneyland when I am this close. 😉

It is amazing to me that they'll just keep giving you new driver's licenses so long as you don't have driving-related infractions or whatever. What if I actually haven't driven a car in the past 5 years, huh? Am I really still qualified to have this? 🫠

I'm usually a hot tea snob, preferring it over iced even in the summer, but I am really, really enjoying refrigerator-chilled hojicha (sans actual ice) at the moment. Made with loose-leaf, not the powdered version that's trendy right now. Might be my beverage of the summer this year.

I have partaken of a proud holiday weekend tradition and purchased a mattress on sale! This is way, way overdue. My current mattress was originally a roommate's and was the cheapest memory foam thing on Amazon 12 years ago. It was sagging in the middle even before I moved into my current apartment.

A screenshot photo taken from my booktube filming setup of me posing for the camera in front of my bookshelves. I am wearing a fancy booktube hat that is tan in color with a big, asymmetrical brim and a large, ruffly, black-and-gold bow. I am also wearing big, black fairy wings visible over my shoulders. I'm smiling wide a the camera and gesturing a fancy, magic gesture.
