Night Run & Getting Old I went for a run with my kids yesterday evening. They were so fast that I could barely catch up with them. I might have lost my leg muscle over the course of my working-from-home period. Or it's just that I'm getting old while they are growing up.

Cream Cheese & Cucumber toast This morning, I made a toast with cream cheese and cucumber slices on top. It was refreshing breakfast. I love cucumbers so much that I start to wonder if I was an insect or something in my previous life.

The Office (U.K.) I've started watching The Office (U.K.). I don't really get british humor, but I'm trying. So far, there're so many awkward & cringy scenes in it and every time I see one of those I feel embarrassed. What is this??? Will I ever get it?

Quarantine fashion I've had many online meetings lately during this quarantine period, and I noticed that people started dress more casually than in face-to-face meetings. Some people look good in casual wears and some don't. And I'm one of those who don't look good in casual wears. I wish I were someone who looks good in a simple T-shirt or a hoodie. Those casual wears just don't look good on me. Maybe it's my face or my figure? Or is it my fashion sense? I don't know...

Mac Demarco If not for COVID-19, I would be enjoying Mac Demarco's performance at this time and date. It's a shame. Oh, it's a shame.

To kill a mocking bird Last night, I was able to read Harper Lee's "To kill a mocking bird" quite smoothly, which I've been struggling to read its first half for the past couple of months. It's kind of a book that takes time till it gets interesting. Sometimes you need patience to enjoy something.

Duolingo Notifications With the default settings, Duolingo app gives you massive numbers of notifications. It's almost like threatening. Now the mascot character Duo looks somewhat evil to me. But when I try to change the notification settings, I have second thoughts. I start to think that I should be notified like this if I want to improve my Spanish and it's better to leave it as it is. Eventually, I end up not changing the settings. I do this whole process like every 3 months.

Snowed in Tokyo Area It snowed in Tokyo area today. Snow turned into rain already by now. It was first snow in Tokyo area this year. Since we have only a few snowy days in a year in Tokyo area, my kids were all excited to see the first snow in a while, whereas I've been lazily sitting around all day. When it's very cold, I feel like my body functions go dormant and become sluggish. Maybe I was a frog or bear or anything that hibernates in winter in my previous life. I hate winter.

New Excitement I started to watch The Witcher on Netflix. I've seen three episodes so far, and all of them are so good! It reminds me of when I started to watch Game of Thrones. The excitement. The feeling as if I were in another world. Even though I enjoyed GOT so much, not really after season 6. One of my coworkers described The Witcher as "less blabla and more humor than GOT" and made me laugh. (spoiler alert!) I think GOT has a lot of foreshadowing which did not come together even at the end. What was really disappointing especially was that the night king's death was too easy. Anyways, let's see how it goes.
