I made my TV debut this morning. I went on a local News show to promote the play I’m performing in that opens this weekend. I probably wouldn’t want to watch it back considering I don’t want to watch myself. But it still felt cool doing something like that and everyone was very nice. So overall it was a very positive experience.

That about 12 people claiming to "speak on behalf of lesbians" tried showing up in my city and arranging some transphobic hate demonstration.
Then about 150 people showed up to be politely supportive of trans women. Including my lesbian self and my trans wife.

It's Page 69, uh huh heh heh huh.
Seriously: The exclamation "O'zapft is!" (Bavarian for "It is tapped", standard German: "Es ist angezapft") is a tradition during the tapping of the first beer barrel by the mayor of Munich in the Schottenhamel tent at the opening of the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany since 1950. The exclamation is followed by a signal of twelve gunshots, signalling that beer may now be sold in all of the tents.
Happy First Day of Oktoberfest, everybody!
(I turn 50 in 2 years. I wish to experience this one day in 2024, with my family in tow.)

Yesterday but car got stuck at a turn signal lane in a busy intersection right next to a High School at peak hours. No way I could push and steer by myself. Had to tell all cars to go around me.
Called a roommate but he was taking his sweet ass time.
This older dude with long hair drinking a chocolate frappe’s like “YOU NEED HELP?! BE RIGHT THERE DUDE”.
Parks his car and comes back. We’re trying to brainstorm an idea when a tall ass black dude in a motorcycle parks and heads over. We quickly figure to bust a bitch. They push, I push and steer on the side and we get it done in one fell swoop. Thank you kind strangers 🙏

Got paid by a WWE superstar to see THEM- in a way, lol. My check came in from working the Bad Bunny show Also got a great follow up email from the wedding venue! AND, I just got a cat! I'm a dog person, but I've always had cats in my orbit, and only recently realized how odd I felt not to have any in my life. Well, my father was "chosen" by one tonight, so here it is! It's a cutie-pie!

Had bicol express today, cooked at home. So good. It's essentially pork belly slice up into small chunks cooked in coconut milk. And a ton of chili.
Boil the pork in just the right amount of water. Boil it all the way. Set it aside. The most basic is this after; cook your garlic, then add the onions and a bit of chili, and by a bit the right amount that'll burn you inside. Add your pork in again, then add the shrimp paste. That's where you add the saltiness in. Once cooked, you pour in your coconut milk.
Since I live where those are available, I'm going with fresh coconut milk all the way, taken from the coconut. Not canned. Not powdered. Always feel the processed stuff is too watery, and of course the added stuff to keep it preserved makes the coco milk texture being wrong.
You gotta bring it to a boil, and coconut milk will clump up easy enough so you gotta constantly stir until it boils and the oils from the coconut separate.
Then, keep it simmering until most of the liquid boils out. Like curry, it isn't broth. Like sarsa, or gravy or sauce. Like, if you pour the sarsa on top of your rice, it's broth if it sinks to the bottom of your rice, is how I feel it should be.
And of course, the rice. Not a lot of Filipino meals where the rice is left out. Hot, fresh, white rice. Pour that bicol express on top. And eat. Meat's tender and soaks up all the flavor. Everything feels creamy and kinda sweet, then you get hit by all that heat. Hot day, rainy day, doesn't matter. So satisfying.

A freshly burned copy of Deftones' Koi No Yokan album. Such a simple thing, but my original copy is skippy as hell and wouldn't even rip to my computer. Amazon and the stash of digital music I've built up over the years came through for me.
And after months of RL disasters and shitty weather draining me, I finally started writing again.

I returned to work today (albeit working from home) after a week off...only to be told I’d come back a day early. I didn’t ask questions, and have never never logged off so quickly.

Went to a reptile zoo and finally got to handle a small snake. Felt surprisingly warm and pleasant.

Started my therapy to recover from my stroke. Managed to use a normal, left, right kind of gait for bit, rather than doing the Eyegore walk I’ve been doing for a week.

There's an Asian supermarket that has a food court with a Korean BBQ grill, and their deal is they have these big wooden plates with a hole in the middle for a small iron container, so it keeps it hot.
And they made me some absolutely delicious Galbi, and it came out still sizzling like a Chillis Fajita, and it had that nice savory seasoning they use and oh, it was just delightful.

Getting an email that one of my survey panels wants to send me some free merch for being such a good contributor to their site. Ha. Awesome. Had something similar happen to me a few years back. I get sent surveys by Hulu often. And fill them out. Well whenever that first season of WU Tang aired on HULU I got sent a survey about it. Filled it out and 2 weeks later wake up to find a huge box on my front steps. Open it up and inside it was a letter from Hulu thanking me for filling out the surveys. And this really kick ass Wu Tang hat. But for today... My youngest son is in his senior year of high school. Now he has Aspergers and cause of that the school recommened we hold him back in 1st grade. So he is a year older than most of his classmates. But since 2nd grade he has been on the honor roll and does great in school. And I know he works his ass off to do good in school. Around lunch today he called me. So excited that he is on track to be in the top 5% of his class. "I might even be valorvictorian!" So proud of him. He asked me my rank when I graduated. And his mother and I agreed when he was born we would never lie to him "Well I was 100 out 300. But that is cause once I hit 10th grade I stopped caring about school. If I had tried I would have been in the top 30 or so." Expected him to chew me out a bit. But nope all I got wwas "Well dad at least you came in at 100." So happy my son has managed to excell in school. Now if I can just figure out how two people with jet black hair managed to have a kid with almost white blonde hair.

Lol I didn't even hint at which website it was from! Kinda funny they've been doing that sort of thing for so long. The survey I took had a prize drawing for a $10 e-gift card and when I won that, I was notified the rest will be mailed to me. Genetics are a funny thing.

Got to sleep in. Normally I try to sleep in on Sundays but wake up at 8am. Slept till 11am today.
Was washing clothes and in a pair of shorts found 20 bucks I didnt know about. So ran to town to treat myself to a lunch in town.
