i made tteokbokki and did a lot of stuff

11 May, 2026

My day yesterday was very nice, I think in part because I did not check any social media at all except like a minute on Discord, which meant I did a lot of other stuff I actually wanted (or needed) to do (hooray!). It was Mother's Day, but also a Sunday so I slept in and played some PS:T in bed, before getting up and having hot cross buns¹ for breakfast.

Nowadays I have Tomodachi Life 2 in front of me while I eat breakfast most days and I continued playing after I finished, making Nappatchi and Konkotchi for two of my Miis. I also planned some other Tamagotchis I would put in like Crayontchi and Sabotenshi as well as who to give them too (because I want to give everyone their own Tamagotchi!).

Then I started making tteokbokki for lunch, which my mum requested a couple of days ago when I asked what she wanted for Mother's Day. I just bought a pre-made sauce as well as all the other ingredients (rice cakes, fish cakes, leek, cabbage, onion) so all I did was chop up everything that needed to be chopped up and dumped them all into a wok. I don't tend to make food for more than one person (ME!) and I wasn't following a recipe so I kind of guessed portions. I also thought I may have put in too much veggies (especially at the start - the wok was very full!) but my mum really liked them and wanted more. The rice cakes were a bit brittle (?) - that may or may not have been my fault... - but it was pretty good overall. I haven't had it in a while so it was nice to do so, and also got to have the leftovers for breakfast today. Yippee!

After sitting down for a bit after lunch (very filling), I decided to do some more reading of The Opium War. I have been reading it forever so I want to finish it soon, but I didn't get much reading done during the week so I read three chapters (with a Tomodachi Life 2 break in between). I also managed to finish it before it got dark so my dad didn't get mad at me for reading in poor lighting (the couch I was sitting on doesn't have a convenient lamp nearby and I like reading there). I went downstairs to stare at my laptop for a bit, but then I remembered I hadn't cleaned the floor for the week yet so I did that.

6pm news next, though I was playing Tomodachi Life 2 so not much I remember. Also I felt kinda cold that afternoon too. Dad cooked dinner (chow fun) so I had that and then watched The Floor while checking out the Wikipedia gacha and thinking for the third time about checking out Dreamwidth. Got back to my computer to read a couple of blog posts about Dreamwidth but I think it's not for me. Also browsed some other cool blogs and then got reminded about my Obsidian digital garden/whatever they're called and thought it would be good to put in blurbs/synopses of the stuff I currently have there while listening to some music². Looking through all the stuff I have there so far also made me realise it was probably a good time to make note of the status/progress of each page so I compiled a list which should make knowing what to do there next easier!

Played some more Tomodachi Life 2 before getting ready for bed. There, I played more PS:T before falling asleep around 12:30am!
