Been watching Sam for years since he was living in unused commercial buildings and constructing diy mad scientist synths. He’s a real and genuine guy, he deserved more.

Up to 2 years, apparently. It was a huge shock to me too; I’m still coming to grips with it? Honestly, I didn’t want to take it but my boss strongly urged me to talk to the company doc and here we are.

I’m still working, just reduced hours.

American in the Netherlands: Woke up at 9 without my alarm, had coffee and a joint. No work today because I got put on burnout leave.

12: Had lunch, scheduled some appointments.
2pm: rode to supermarket and then the beach to have some champagne, joints, and make some music on my portable groovebox. I’ll be here till sunset.

Might stop at my local pub for a beer and dinner afterwards.

No friends because NL is lonely as hell((

But yes, life is much better in Europe, even in the Netherlands ( I just personally don’t really care for it)

Arrested development should come back as well, we can just collectively decide that the Netflix seasons don’t exist.

I’m pretty frugal, over analyze every damn purchase into decision paralysis and never actually click order. As a result I have a healthy savings account… Which I should be investing, but yeah, decision paralysis.

It helps that I like vintage junk like Soviet camera lenses and watches that cost 1/10th of the new stuff so it doesn’t really hurt my wallet when I do get impulsive. Still agonize over those purchases though.

I did not expect to be living in the Zoids universe, but here we are.

Probably what led me to being vegan. I can’t stand the hypocrisy of some animals deserving compassion and others not. I also work for a company in sustainability/energy transition, and the amount of people who “care” about sustainability and the environment and yet still drool when they see a steak is too high.

I’m vegan, btw.
