greghousesgfI went to my favorite cafe earlier this afternoon and had a piece of coconut cake. They usually don't even have coconut cake so I was really happy.

May. 10th, 2026 08:13 amgreghousesgfHaving some cardamom cinnamon tea. I feel like going to the movies again today but I've already seen Project Hail Mary (and it was awesome!) and there isn't anything else playing around I want to see. I miss the revival theaters. There used to be great revival theaters around here. There's this one bookstore I didn't get to on Indie Bookstore day, maybe they'll have something I want. I also need to call my mother for Mother's day.

Had a great lunch with a friend of mine earlier this afternoon, we went to Chinatown and I had sweet and sour pork.

May. 6th, 2026 02:49 pmgreghousesgfI did lots of grocery shopping then came home and watched TV and went swimming. Some lady bitched at me in the Trader Joe parking lot claiming I "walked right into her", bullshit, I was just walking near her. She probably expected me to walk further around her because she had a little kid, like the way people with babies and little kids just barge right out into moving traffic. You'd think having the kid would make them more careful. It has the opposite effect, like they think having a kid is some sort of superpower.

May. 4th, 2026 01:49 pmgreghousesgfHad the greatest time in Texas with my family! We went to this great Mexican restaurant where I had brisket enchiladas and a coconut margarita, then the next day they took me to the Dallas Aquarium (it doesn't just have fish in it, it has birds and monkeys and a bunch of other animals and is more like a mini zoo) and this cool bar and grill owned by my sister's husband's friend where this really good Beatles cover band was playing! Then next day they gave me a Beatles themed party over at my sister and her husband's house with lots of people and I got a ton of presents and yummy food including homemade lasagna and chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing! Then when I got home yesterday I got together with a friend for drinks and dinner and we saw Project Hail Mary, it was great!
