If you have to do something...

Dior Sauvage EDT for today.

Fortunately it seems our tsunami advisory didn’t amount to much so far. It was weird to see that come through last night.

OT workout later and very likely we’re going to go and enjoy a light dinner out on the Mission lawns for Fiesta Pequena for a bit.
 
Shave #195 (1276 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:

Gear: RazoRock Game Changer .68 SB, Astra SP blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Jeeves of Hudson St Turkish Bath soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, some kind of AS, and Acqua Di Parma Colonia to finish!

Good workout last night. Tsunami threat is well over at this point I believe.

Fiesta Pequena was a bit of a dud if I’m being honest. It was so crowded and there were just too many inconsiderate people there. We could hear some of the music and singing but really couldn’t see a thing. Bummer. Fortunately Fiesta continues through the weekend with various events, maybe we’ll catch something else later.

I'm not bothered by the crowd....I'm always upset that when I do the math in my head...I realize that the band could have cut the ticket price in half and still made plenty of money.
 
There's that as well..

The prices for the Def Leppard Vegas residency are my latest upset feeling. I guess the mortgage on Joe Elliot's house isn't quite paid off from the 170 million albums he's already sold!!!!! 2 copies of each album have been bought by me....so where's my discount ticket?
 
This was more - I’m here to chill and enjoy the cultural music and celebration but half the people attending are standing up or walking around and not caring who they might be blocking and half of those people are there to socialize and party with the cultural event as mere background noise.

More of Fiesta last night, heading out to the temporary food court that’s been set up then to the Sunken Gardens of the SB Courthouse to watch performances. Much better night of viewing/listening but still packed as all heck.

OT workout this morning to kick off the Marathon Month theme.

Breakfast out, then back home for chores.

That’s the beauty of liking niche electronic music, they practically pay you to come see it.

Ew, Monday. A short week at least, as we leave in a couple days to go help with the annual hula festival my in-laws and wife’s family run.

Skin is getting better. Still some slight sensitivity and healing spots. Haven’t needed medication during the day anymore. The most bothersome thing now is probably still having temperature sensitivity in my teeth.
