10-Minute Warning CLXXXVIII

Wow. It’s been almost a month since my last Minute Warning post. What can I share here?

Firstly, my throat has been itchy since last Friday, and it must be because I ran errands in the gloomy weather. I had to run those errands. And today, I have been drinking more warm water and ginger tea mixed with honey and citron to speed up my recovery. Normally, I don’t drink many hot beverages, but I made an exception for today because I don’t want to enter the month of October with an itchy throat or, worse, the flu. The last months of 2025 will be an almost jam-packed month for me, so I need to be at least in good condition.

And, man… the tea I have been having today is delicious. I might drink more hot tea from now on. (Maybe more sencha green tea because that’s the favorite drink of Person of Interest’s Harold Finch.)

My ten minutes aren’t up yet, and I would like to discuss plans for the remaining months of 2025. But honestly, tonight, I’d like to rest more, drink tea, and finish Season 2 of 24. I’m just here to give an update on The Diary while I have the strength to blog. My condition might get worse tomorrow. Maybe not. I need to be prepared for the worst yet hope for the best.

See you in the next post.

10-Minute Warning CXXVII

All right. What can I blog here for under 10 minutes?

I have been re-watching the sci-fi crime drama, Person of Interest, for the nth time. I started binge-watching (again) when I went to Tokyo with my family last month. I’m on Season 3 now as I type this post, and I’m about to enter the Endgame trilogy – one of my favorite arcs of the show. I needed a snack and a Coke Zero during my binge-watching, but I’m too lazy to go out.

What is Person of Interest all about? It’s about Harold Finch (a reclusive billionaire hacker, played by Michael Emerson) and John Resse (an ex-CIA assassin, played by Jim Caviezel) attempting to prevent premeditated violent crimes from happening with the help of a surveillance system called The Machine. As the show progresses, it turns from a unique case-of-the-week story into an extraordinary grounded sci-fi series. Person of Interest is my favorite show of all time, and I believe it is one of the most underrated shows ever. If you have not watched the series, please watch it. You will not regret it.

I will make a review series for Person of Interest here on The Diary sooner or later, but for now, I’m enjoying the ride (again).
