Hello, we went to Taiwan! We drank bubble tea! We dined at Din Tai Fung. We walked around until our legs were squishier than the tapioca balls in our bubble tea. I bought washi tape. It was a great time! It was a short time, much too short. It was our last big adventure for a while because my belly is getting harder to carry around with me. We now have around 98 days until we get to meet our baby human child. Here’s a bunch of stuff I collected on our trip to Taipei and stuck into my bullet journal with the aforementioned washi tape. Also, you can live vicariously through our travels with this YouTube video. I hope you’re having a great start to your week and a really nice 2023.
We’re Moving House
I’ve been busy over the last month trying to throw out all of our possessions and reduce our home inventory down to mini dollhouse furniture-sized items. Living in Korea has made me less and less sentimental about items. I used to keep everything for rainy days and ‘what ifs’ but life in Korean houses is not really set up for ‘ooh maybe I’ll use this in a very specific situation that may or may not ever occur 5 years from now’. Unless you like to be surrounded by a bunch of junk, that’s cool too I guess. I personally have adopted the minimal Korean approach and I still feel like we have too much stuff. I will keep pruning until I’m satisfied. We just spent 3 hours cleaning out our fridge and pantry and I honestly feel more accomplished than I ever have throughout my career (I think I’m joking).
What I’m Drawing
I’ve been drawing lots of scribbles, here are some of them. To keep up with what I’m making, be sure to follow my illustration Instagram.
What I’m Watching
Moneyball (2011)
I don’t know how I had never watched this movie but it just reaffirms the notion that I am a hermit living under a large rock on the island where Moana lives. I don’t know the first thing about baseball (I do know a lot about baseball game snacks and I even made a video about baseball games in Korea) but I enjoyed this movie. Brad Pitt did a great job of portraying himself in really ugly clothes.
Physical: 100 (2023)
You may have already watched it by now but Squid Game Physical: 100 is a new Netflix show that challenges 100 people to test what makes the ultimate physique. Korean reality shows are so refreshing to watch, people respect each other and speak eloquently. I’m not sure if my pregnancy hormones are doing things to me or not but the last episode of this show had me crying the whole way through.

Have you checked out my latest YouTube videos? No? They’re nice and chill, though. You should watch them if you absolutely have nothing better to do with your time. But don’t watch them if you’re busy or preparing to perform life-saving surgery.
