Not a lot to fill you in on today—I guess that means we're back to a pretty standard Tuesday. Shobhit and I did do some grocery shopping yesterday, and we went all the way to the West Seattle PCC to do it; I called four different stores to see which colors of ZuZu Luxe liquid eyeliner they had in stock, and West Seattle had the best options for using the $10 off $50 coupon valid this week. Shobhit also got some broccolini that was on sale and I bought a 6-pack of Creamy Root Beer Zevia Soda. Exciting stuff.

Shobhit also kept asking if I wanted to buy a carving pumpkin at QFC while they were on a three-day sale for $5 each, yesterday being the last day. I was really ambivalent about it. I had hoped to do a Pumpkin Carving Party last year but in the end I wasn't able to make one happen, for the first time since 2019 (after four years of virtual carving parties with Gabriel and his family and friends between 2020 and 2023), and so I did some AI pumpkins in lieu of one, and I don't particularly want to go that route again. I might still consider carving one myself anyway, but I just wasn't quite ready yet to commit.

We drove home—I had to drive there and back because once again Shobhit forgot to switch from his reading glasses back to his regular ones before going down to the car—and Shobhit attended a 43rd Legislative District Zoom meeting while I finished the last two episodes of Margo's Got Money Troubles on Apple TV+ in the bedroom, which I loved.

And then, because Shobhit is scheduled to moderate a panel during the Tasveer Film Festival, he had a virtual screener for a documentary called Hoop Like This, about the world's first Indian professional basketball team, and I went ahead and watched it with him. I would never have chosen a sports doc otherwise, but I had free access and it's a new movie, so it was something I could review. It didn't end until well after 10:00 and then I think the chai I made kept me awake for a bit after going to bed but whatever, I'll live.

I had no time to write the movie review last night so I wrote it at the office this morning. Don't tell anyone.
