Dojo's House of Spice and Zest

13 June 2026 Jump rope: 6min total (30/30 x 12) Hindi: none today Yoga: none today Insight: I can take 15min each day just to jump rope. It doesn't have to be when I wake up or after work. I just have to do it each day. I went with Amar to the Square Enix Cafe in downtown LA. I bought him a Vivi plush that he was looking at but put back because he said it was too expensive and he was also buying some other things. It's his birthday on Monday, and I know he appreciated it. I ate this grey curry that was Dragonquest Metal Slime themed. It tasted like a normal curry. I enjoyed it. The Slime drink was pretty tasty. We went through some gasha-pon shops in Little Tokyo before heading to Del Amo mall. I grabbed a Kaiju No. 8 crewneck jumper and Princess Mononoke quarter zip at Box Lunch (clearance buy 1 get 2 free!!) Also got the PM quarter zip for Chris. Grabbed a mochi donut before heading home.  Gonna watch a show and eat dinner, then maybe do ...

I was recommended for a simple "Growth journal" to use this format, and I think I like it: June 11, 2026 Jump rope: 6 minutes Hindi: Reviewed lesson 3 Yoga: 10 minutes Insight: I keep treating hobbies like obligations instead of companions.

I didn't jump rope today. I was planning to, but after work I took a nap, and I really needed to just rest. I had my Hindi lesson, which was great. It's raining a lot in Delhi today, so we just used whatsapp instead of the tutoring website. I'm not entirely sure why I'm not being specific about the details. Maybe for a sense of mystery or privacy or something. Something to think about later maybe. Oh my gawd, I just fixed my darn cursor. It always disappears inside of text boxes. I just went into the customization per google search, and chang...

I can't believe blogger still exists and hasn't been redeveloped into some overly complex platform for likes and views and analytics and ads. I loved this place. And here I am again... Today, I came home from a fairly good day at work. It was not a particularly easy day, but also not very tough either. I'm happy with that. Sometimes the most uneventful days, though appreciated for not having to hold in frustration over team members' lack of maturity, or run across the warehouse to solve some big jam or problem (which I enjoy sometimes), can be quite boring, unsatisfying...and such other words. But yea, work was alright today. I came home looking forward to my language tutoring lesson, but my tutor wasn't feeling well. I did end up wrecking my brain a bit trying to figure out how to reschedule the lesson without cancelling and losing out on the session, though it seemed unusually easy to mess up and lose out. Once that was solved (which is still technically not entir...
