- 12/21: heard from scott that he was tentatively offered a position with a new team (program management side). so he'll be leaving logistics within the next month. he'll be missed. he was a strong asset to our team. i hope to step up where i can over the next year that i'm with SCM.
- 12/22: talked with ted (mentor meeting). he really wants to encourage me to interview for a promotion / my gs-13. i know there's only real benefits to getting out of my comfort zone and going for it. i just lack a lot of confidence...
- also helped shane with how to budget / use YNAB and planning on how to pay back his loans over the next few years
- 12/24: the pipe burst in the apartment next door. water was flowing out of the apartment like a waterfall, after the fireman knocked down the outer and apartment doors. both apartments were empty. they're going to be upset when they get home.

- 12/3: black panther: wakanda forever ★★★★★
- 1899. so annoying, how is anyone really communicating with each other?
- troll: ★☆☆☆☆. wow this movie was dumb...
- moonfall: ★★★☆☆. this was weird... it was more enjoyable than troll but also was dumb? "ludicrous mode" and other tesla references are ick. why was halle berry in this... what was with the chinese exchange student lady... what was the point?
- revolutionary girl utena ★★★★☆
- mob psycho ssn 3 ★★★★☆
- the devil's hour ★★★★☆

- 12/11: to your eternity: ★★★★★ this anime is good again!!
- 12/11: paranoia agent: ★★★★☆ definitely a mood! so well animated, i love
- nichijou: anime
- black adam:
- blood blockade, anime: ... it's quirky. i do appreciate that it's got a strong taste but the character aren't likeable for some reason. especially the main guy. he's so japanese ... and it's taking cris and i OUT.
- his dark materials ssn 3 ★★★☆☆: its a plodding pace now. i feel bad because it was quite good last ssn but this ssn feels boring. it's slow, things are happening but drawn out then it ends on an interesting note. ugh!
- will on a whim: on youtube. just a great content creator. he's an intelligent, funny, and obviously hard-working to keep up with vlogmas videos! so entertaining!
- new jeans! i'm a new fan! i even know all of their names now. and i watched a lot of their short videos on youtube.
- smile (2022) ★★★★☆
- strange world ★★★☆☆ high budget cg movie? it was a rich, imaginative world with really great creature design. ... i just didn't connect with the family issues and it felt really formulaic and forced?
- glass onion, a knives out mystery (2022) ★★★★★ so compelling and a winding story, well-told. a joy to watch!
- started watching ぼっち・ざ・ろっく
