India has made a match out of this Australia match and I am here for it. Well done Australia, but wish the total was a bit higher. Thst said I still think India should pull through if they keep their existing wickets.

*Khufiya* was quite lame. Starts of well and just becomes a chore in second half. Vishal Bharadwaj is well past his prime at this point and it shows.

The last two weeks have been tough and draining, but I am also glad that we’ve all pulled through and have been available for our friends nonstop and been with them most of the times we could spend.

The kid has successfully turned me into a swiftie. Now we both sing along in car drives!

My prediction is that in a decade or less manual point & shoot or SLR cameras are going to come back in fashion because those will be the only cameras left that capture any sense of reality. Practically everything else will be fake, AI fixed and adjusted and completely unauthentic.

One of the annoying things about these home renovation projects is the contractor timelines. Its been almost a month since our kitchen renovation has started, and the contractors must have put in a total of 8-10 days work maximum. Rest of the time is either waiting on the county to come do an inspection or waiting on architect to verify his calculations on support beams. The thing is, when they *do* work, they are super optimized about it. If they want to, they can finish the entire kitchen within a week guaranteed. I keep telling the contractor, like just send 10 people over from your team for a week and get this over with! You get a full lump sum payment from me, I am happy, you are happy, job’s done and you can move to next. But no, this has to turn into an elongated multi month process just because. And its not just them, this is literally any home contractors now. Like surely you’d have figured this out? Or maybe they do and I dont know why this elongated schedule exists.

By now if I was smart enough I would move out of Arconia. Also an excellent season finale for Only Murders. This has quickly become the best show on TV hasn’t it?

I am finally beginning to see price drops on houses all around our area. I dont know if this is a sign of high interest rates finally catching up and dampening the market or its just a fall-winter syndrome.

Oh so we are already at that stage of news cycle where democrats are to be blamed for republican chaos in the house? Everything is a fucking democrat problem isnt it, while petulant pricks get to bully and jerk around as they place because they are republicans.

The amount of construction noise upstairs is giving me the shivers. A major part being done today. We have two support posts and are getting rid of one. To get rid of one we need to distribute the load through other beams by adding support. All of this is giving me the chills – like jee what if they do one thing wrong? These guys build houses so I am sure they know what they are doing but I am the one in basement waiting for apocalypse it feels like!
