10-Minute Warning CCV

Written at 3:16pm today. Oh, hell yeah!

I had a different post theme for today, but I will just write another Minute Warning post because I was incredibly loaded with work earlier.

Aside from Always Watching (my series of Person of Interest episode reviews), I have been working on another passion project: my affogato diary. So far, I’ve tried at least five different affogatos from different cafes, and I’m thinking of adding another to my list this afternoon. But there’s a dilemma: I want to try the cafe’s affogato today before they sadly close for good tomorrow, and as I type this, it’s raining cats and dogs. I hope the rain becomes lighter later.

I’ve been watching a different show, too: The Boys. I have a lot of thoughts about what I’ve seen so far. At the moment, I will share three. Firstly, in my opinion, the second season was better than the first. Also, whenever Homelander (the invincible yet cruel head of the superhero group The Seven) shows his true colors, it’s amazingly frightening. And the heart of the black ops team, The Boys, the caring Marvin T. Milk (aka Mother’s Milk), may be my favorite character by far. Nice name, sir.

My ten-minute warning is almost up, and the rain has stopped as well. Excellent. I will prepare to go out now.

See you in the next post, and have a nice week ahead!

30-Minute Warning XLI

All right. What can I write here in under 30 minutes?

Today is so hectic (in a good way). The moment I woke up and went downstairs, I was greeted with a few paperwork. It’s not a pile, but damn. What a way to start my Monday. But I didn’t tackle it right away because I wanted to start the week right, and this week is going to be an important one. I proceeded with my early rituals, and then I started working calmly yet methodically. I was able to finish them an hour after lunch. Good job, self!

Wait. Why did I say that this week is important? That’s because I’m going to see my all-time favorite band, Foo Fighters, live for the second time this week. With that, I need to prepare the essentials before the flight, and I did so after finishing today’s workload. I bought the toiletries, so that’s done with. And since I checked the week’s rainy forecast, I need a raincoat and a small, water-repellent bag… but I didn’t buy either. Not yet. I hope I can assemble the essentials before the actual flight. Nope, not the day before the flight. Nope. I’m not going to do that.

Oh, there’s also the trip to Seoul with my family at the end of October, but I’m not worrying about that yet. Frankly, I’m not that excited about the trip. Yet. But what I’m excited about is wearing layered clothing while walking around a cool country. I will even wear my full Deranged Writer uniform and a sleek, cool attire inspired by one of my favorite television characters, Person of Interest’s John Reese. I’m really stoked for that!

What else? It’s not my birthday yet (December 5), but I’m already working on something that will make my birthday dinner truly special. I couldn’t write about that for now, but I hope it becomes true.

Crap. I’m running out of things to say, but my 30 minutes are not up yet. I can do this.

Oh! I’m already starting to psych myself for the Foo Fighters show this week with a playlist based on the recent setlists from Setlist.fm. One of the things I noticed from those setlists is that they started their shows with “Enough Space”, an exciting gem from The Colour and the Shape. I already blogged about that as a Song of the Moment. Another thing I also noticed is that they played so many tracks from the first Foo Fighters album, which I love. I counted six from that album. I also counted four tracks from Wasting Light, three from There Is Nothing Left to Lose, four from One by One, only two from Medicine at Midnight, only one from In Your Honor, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and Concrete and Gold each, and four from The Colour and the Shape…

And there you go. Now my 30 minutes are truly up. See you in the next post!
