8.26.23 || I spent a grand total of $1,811.13 on my recent vacation to Chicago, Illinois. Of that amount, $136.00 was spent on the round-trip train ride, and $993.13 was spent on the hotel that I stayed at.

8.25.23 || Whenever two things happen quickly in succession, and each of those things would case me to say "Oh gawd," I often say "Oh double gawd" on the second one, leading to a nice chain of "Oh gawd ... Oh double gawd."

8.24.23 || We say that water is _of appropriate temperature_ if a human can be submerged in the water for a sufficiently long time without scalding.

8.23.23 || Here's what I was going to write 4 days ago: There are actually a lot of benefits to riding a train as opposed to a plane. The trains I rode had cleaner areas, smoother rides, better scenery, room for carry-on luggage for everybody, more leg room, and a café car where you can get food. I can really only think of two reasons why a plane is better: it's faster, and there are usually less kids.

8.21.23 || Going on a vacation and exploring by yourself is like playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild but in real life.

8.20.23 || The average man walks kilometers per hour.

8.18.23 || A train! A train! A train! A train! Could you (travel by yourself), would you (travel by yourself), on a train? (I can, because I'm an adult, traveling on my very first solo vacation ever!)

8.17.23 || So I had to update to iOS 16 recently after months of delaying it because I thought it would be trash... But iOS 16 is actually good? How come no one told me???

8.16.23 || What are some examples of songs that are clearly good but executed poorly?

8.15.23 || Would you rather have (1) unlimited bacon, but no more games, or (2) games — unlimited games — and no games?

8.14.23 || Just watched the prequel to the movie "Sonic the Hedgehog 2." I think the prequel is much worse than the original movie.

8.13.23 || "The grocery store workers blindly trust their coworkers. They don't trust anyone else. Not even the ones who they think they trust. They don't trust who they trust (unless that someone is a grocery store worker). Why do they trust the workers? Why do they trust the non-workers? Is it possible for you to know something about a worker's personality that they themselves don't know? What if you're the only one who knows it? What if you can't say it? Perhaps no one will believe you."

8.12.23 || "What do you mean, 'If everyone brings a flashy suitcase, you won't be able to find yours'? It's not like everyone's going to have a neon orange suitcase with pineapples on it!"

8.11.23 || I've been having many crazy dreams recently, but I worry about writing them down in my notebook because I already talked about dreams 3 times recently. This is not intended to be a dream journal; if I wanted to write down my dreams consistently, I would be writing them in a dream journal studio. That would be the second-greatest studio idea ever.

8.9.23 || Some random website taught me that I've been using Australian slang since I often say "No worries" whenever someone apologizes to me.
