I made a delightful roasted cauliflower and kale soup for lunches this week. I did not have high expectations for it, flavor-wise, but it turned out surprisingly tasty.

As someone who retains a stronger fondness for Saved by the Bell than the quality of the show actually merits, and this episode in particular, even I am tired of this reference being used every where.

You'll be missed! All the best!

That happened in an apartment complex next to my office earlier this week. I think that's 95% of the events SWAT is deployed for.

I totally remember that episode! Thanks, Netflix!

3rd week is "Leaving on a Jetplane"

Fingers crossed that Ryan Lochte's first number is set to Duran Duran's "Rio" and is an interpretive dance based on his trying ordeal.

Dang I need to finish my rewatch then.

As someone who just got very excited by replacing a busted outdoor light fixture, cosigned.

Congrats!

It takes so much motivation for me to date, I decided to take a break from it and put that energy towards working out and eating better. I should probably be able to do both at the same time, but I've come to realize that nope. I still feel like a weirdo, socially, for being perpetually single.

The weather is so gross right now. It felt like fall last week, but now we're back up to heat indexes of 102 with 100% humidity. Quit teasing me, environment!
