Kiddo is nearing teenage years so fast and I am eager to see the maturing adult he will become.
But I'm also SAD about how he won't be a kid much longer.
This feels like the infant-to-preschooler crisis all over again. Being a parent to an infant is different from being a parent to a preschooler. Now a parent to a kid vs a parent to a teenager.
I'm not ready.

I am pretty sure it was @npub18du…2dz9 introducing me on here to different Jackson Wang solo songs, including 200 Ways.
And maybe Pandora suggesting that song, too.

I need a knowledgeable person to explain to me what the challenges are for installing solar panels on the vertical side of my house instead of the roof.
I understand the structure and angle of using an existing roof as the basis for solar panel installation is easiest. But, the south side of our home cooks in the sun all year round and is not shaded, so it would be the better choice, sun exposure wise, for us.
What structural considerations/additions do we need to know?

Knowing Jackson, he was probably all for it, but what Harper's Bazaar fashion editor APPROVED the idea of "let's have Jackson Wang sitting on a toilet"?! 🤣
I *do* like his red hair, though. And the corner with pictures of so many of his life moments.

How to nerd-snipe a Jill:
Give me a brand-themed PPT template that isn't really a template and then an architecture slide that has a decade-old company branding style that I need to give to an external consultant.
Take mostly good architecture slide, remove usable but old company branding theme, cobble together a new brand theme, apply that to the slide, and then modify slide details.
I have, like, 4 different PPTX documents open plus our branding standards PDF.
For ONE (1) slide.

I am literally CACKLING right now! The one girl Zhong Ling keeps "accidentally" killing off Xiang Yuan's player - who is on the same team! - to force her to go on a romantic movie date with some other guy. So Xu Yanshi decides to "accidentally" kill off the Zhong Ling's character. 🤣🤣🤣 "Sorry. I made a mistake." 😇

I needed another modern #cdrama to watch and somehow had #HereWeMeetAgain on my Viki watch list.
It has K.O. from #LoveO2O as the ML! And their industry is satnav! 🤓 Bonus winding mountain switchback roads and pretty Xi'an cityscapes.
K.O. was gay in Love O2O but not gay in this one. There is a different gay man in this one - a coworker.
(I thought the K.O. storyline was sweet, honestly.)

I've been using my new Pilot Prera #FountainPen I bought in Seoul and like it a lot so far, as I figure out how to fill the barrel.
With the piston/plunger design, at first I could only fill the barrel up 30% with ink, as the rest seemed to be air. I made a little bit of a mess as I tried different ways to get just the air out. Now I can fill it up about 75% with ink, which is progress!

This weekend, I cleaned my fountain pen for the first time. I finally used up all of the tiny 3ml ink bottles I purchased with it.
This morning meant New Ink Day!
Spouse got me a 5 pack of 30ml Wearingeul ink and I opened one up today: Architecture Infinite Cube.
https://www.wearingeul.com/ink/?idx=218
And now my hands look like murder. 😅
It is a dark enough red that it could read as blood. And, of course, I got it all over my hands while refilling my pen.

#StudyGroup is a violent but full of heart underdog kdrama

Have you seen the #kdrama #LikeFlowersInSand about the Korean sport ssireum? I loved it.
There is a #jdrama about Sumo wrestling called #SumoDoSumoDont that's on Disney, I believe, that is also a good underdog series.
And not sports, but a good underdog movie is #SpaceSweepers on Netflix.

I am slowly working my way through that first batch of sample inks (3ml jars) I bought with my first fountain pen and I'm really enjoying writing with this one. It is smooth, doesn't seem to clog up the nib or dry too fast, and is a pretty yet subtle hue.

Ok, I have thoughtfully added one (1) fountain pen to my collection, so I now have only two (2) at this time.
In my defense, this one is beautiful rainbow anodized metal on the outside :sparkles_pride:
It is so pretty and tiny. You screw the cap onto the back of the body of the pen in order for it to be long enough to fit in your hand.

Huh. I never thought about customizing my own fountain pen!
I love the precision with how they applied the stickers evenly spaced. And the matching ink! 😍
I have a sheet of teeny tiny cat face stickers. I wonder if I'd enjoy them on the pen or if I would ADHD pick at the stickers instead...

I think my #kpop song of the year would have to be "Work" by ATEEZ.
So many great albums and songs this past year, by many different artists that i know and love more than ATEEZ, but that song just came out of nowhere, is catchy, great music video, and captured fans who never noticed kpop before.

This handsomest prancing boy is SIX years old today. 😍
He loves apples and chasing chipmunks and hunting bunnies and walkies. He can be a grumpy old man dog who doesn't like to share. He won't eat if he doesn't want to and he prefers to poop in other people's yards. He knows when people call him handsome.
His breed is a Jindo mix and he actually flew from South Korea to Chicago when he was 4 months old as a rescue. He had meningitis as a puppy, so his balance isn't quite right.
I love him.
