I’m so excited, a friend picked up this Star Trek TNG VCR board game for us while on a trip. Apparently Bij is Klingon for punishment and the tape is full of this Klingon man yelling at you to “Experience Bij”. I really want to track down a VCR to play it.

Also I was CONVINCED he was Gowron but apparently he is the same actor playing a completely different Klingon for some reason???

I finally got to see the Midnight live after trying for years now, and it was incredible. Even got the VIP tickets which included a little private "unplugged" session with Tyler and Tim where I got to ask Tim why he never sings anymore. The show was just incredible, they absolutely killed it, I got to hear some tracks I'd given up hope of ever hearing live, and they even came back for like a whole 30 goddamn minutes of encore.

I also got to see it with my girlfriend, who is normally more into hardcore industrial stuff and now keeps messaging me Midnight lyrics ...

And of course, I got some merch: A tour t-shirt, and a set of pins, my favorite of which has to be this VHS tape with bi/trans stripes.

I just made the best fucking coffee I've ever had, so apologies for the bougie Instagram level food porn but I need to write down what I did so I can keep making it, because this was frankly better than a lot of the sex I've ever had.

• Coffee: 16g Goshen Coffee Yebesele. Light roast, natural process Ethiopian Yirgacheffe.
• Grind: Baratza Encore, 8 on the dial.
• Machine: Gaggia Classic Pro.
• Brew ratio: Lungo, 16g in, 48ml out. Yes this is a weird way to measure this, but I don't have a scale that fits under the cup because the clearance on the Gaggia is too damn small.
• Milk: 150ml, steamed almost to classic ratio of about half and half milk to foam.
• Garnish: Penzey's nutmeg, freshly grated with micro-plane.
• Side: Oikos lemon meringue Greek yogurt. It was on sale, but it's Danone so probably the most evil thing in this picture.
• Tasting notes: Milk chocolate, cherries, grapefruit zest, spice, marshmallow, velvet, like a cloud burst in your mouth
• Me: happy, blissed out, i think i need a cigarette
