one last post before i tuck myself into bed. watching a couple of episodes of game changer to chill out. here's my little setup of my ipad and the tiny fan that's been essential in this heat.
i used to watch clips of whose line is it anyway on youtube, and got into collegehumour/dropout over the pandemic through their sketches and d20. game changer is still one of my favorite things they make! sam reich is like if jigsaw made his improv comedian best friends do unhinged things but was actually nice in the end. it's delightful. my favorite episodes are escape the greenroom and bingo, but you honestly can't go wrong with any of them. there are episodes available on their youtube for free if you want to see what i mean :)

Caveh Zahedi's web-only (unless you were watching Brooklyn public access 8 years ago) Show About the Show is chaotic perfection (and a direct influence on the Black Mirror season 6 episode 'Joan Is Awful' if you saw that). I'll just let Joe Swanberg describe it: "Using a combination of direct address to the camera, staged recreations, documentary footage and interviews to tell the tale of each [previous] episode being made, Zahedi puts together a show that feels in control of its tone, yet out of control of the implications of its own existence." P.S. at some point Caveh starts getting sued by his wife about the show so the remaining episodes are only available on his website

for when you need to just feel good and weird and slightly less sad
everyone i know who loves this show found it at a time that they were on the verge of a nervous breakdown. i don't know exactly why it appeals to people in crisis but it does.
it's a silly talk show but it's also a show about community, kindness, being true to yourself and it's really fuckin fun

(specifically behavioural experiment — really putting my psych degree into good use huh?)
i don't know man but this really helps me get unstuck from an all-or-nothing mindset and the insane analysis paralysis from even doing the most menial of tasks
look just set it from a random number of days and put a random thing to focus on and see what happens
i don't even have to stick to it — this isn't even a "serious/legitimate" experiment at all — i give myself the grace to fail at this "experiment" completely and i try to take as much emotional weight from it as possible
the whole of point me doing this in the first place is ripping off the band-aid: any action is good action at this point, i don't want to ruminate anymore and i want to build momentum (even if it seems embarrassingly insignificant)
if it works out: good!! if it doesn't work out: also good!! the whole point of this is trial and error and honestly just bridging the gap between idea and execution and getting rid of friction between tasks as much as possible...
we can always change the hypothesis and the experiment... back to the drawing board we go!!!

absolutely hate how the government is insisting on phasing out bamboo scaffolding and replacing it with steel scaffolding... like why??? bamboo scaffolding is deeply woven into hong kong culture and instantly reminds of home because it's just so unique and so distinctively hongkonger... i fucking hate the lack of efforts of cultural preservation because what else do we have left?
in recent years i could already feel a slow, sinking feeling that the local flavour of hong kong is slowly slipping away... i just don't want the city i was born and raised in to be more and more unrecognisable as time goes on.... even from the tiniest details of everyday life
there are so many iconic landscapes, features and walks of life that i value so much in the city that i just don't want to be seen thrown in the wayside and i know many hongkongers feel this way too
