  • “Friday Nights” — John OFA Rhee w. Bottle Gods

    This song is peak pandemic + introverts + geriatric millennials (“alright, it’s 10 PM! Time for me to go to bed.”)

    I never relate to a song this much.

    But wait, do I really have to go outside?
    All them people they drive me so damn crazy
    Tryna tell me they’re something they’re not

    Oh wait, do I really have to go outside?
    Driving through LA traffic, man that’s crazy
    I’m still stuck, fingers up, on the 5

    Leave a message, after the beep
    I’ll reply as soon as I can
    You can leave me a voice mail or two
    But no guarantee that I’ll get back to you

    Saw your message, after the beep
    “Dude, come out as soon as you can”
    Guess I’ll have an old fashioned or two
    But the drinks are on you

    Some might say I’m old and crazy
    But I’m sick of friday nights
    Dancing with a stranger
    Under the disco lasers

    Pointless conversations that are filled with TMI’s
    I just called my Uber
    I’m headed home tonight

    I don’t wanna go outside (I don’t wanna go outside)
    I don’t wanna go outside (I don’t wanna go outside)

    Oh wait, a new colorway that caught my eye
    Spending another day, another dollar on things I shouldn’t buy

    But wait, do I really have to go outside?
    I’m laid out on the couch, tired and lazy
    I just got done with my 9 to 5

    Leave a message, after the beep
    I’ll reply as soon as I can
    You can leave me a voice mail or two
    But no guarantee that I’ll get back to you

    Saw your message, after the beep
    “Dude, come out as soon as you can”
    Guess I’ll have an old fashioned or two
    Still the drinks are on you

    Some might say I’m old and crazy
    But I’m sick of friday nights
    Dancing with a stranger
    Under the disco lasers

    Pointless conversations that are filled with TMI’s
    I just called my Uber
    I’m headed home tonight

    I don’t wanna go outside (I don’t wanna go outside)
    I don’t wanna go outside (I don’t wanna go outside)

  • Morning drink

    Not a beer. And yes, Daft Punk forever.

    It’s a non-alcoholic malt drink with peach flavor. Also, it’s 10 AM ?

    I found myself liking the non-alcoholic counterparts due to taste. Alcohol is a refined taste, and it takes experience to fully enjoy it. For me, I still can’t get beyond the bitter taste or the burning sensation, so I’m settling down with the non-alcoholic version (also, it’s sweeter.)

    Beer is one of the oldest beverages in the world — presumably, after mead. I found it really fascinating that the starting point of human civilizations seemingly started from “accidents” a.k.a. Fermentation. Thousands of years ago, someone forgot to bring back a bunch of grapes and wheats and left it out for quite some time, letting happy bacteries doing their job, and ta-da, we got wine, mead, beer, and bread.

    If that kind of story/history is your jam, I highly recommend you to read “A History of the World in 6 Glasses” by Tom Standage.

    My two favorite humans.

    This song was made during the height of the pandemic — telling a story of long-distance lovers.

    ‘Cause when you have your morning coffee I’m turning out the lights so I could dream And when you smile through the screen I wish you could be here with me

Nindya’s quick blurbs

  • A month too late, but I just stumbled upon IKEA France’s Tiktok video, hinting a possible collab with Animal Crossing. Unfortunately, no further information about this other than IGN picked up this news when the video was posted.
