The annoying one
Have a new injury to add to my collection; messed up my wrist the other day, not even 100% sure how, which was annoying and alarming.
Annoying for obvious reasons but also alarming because I know four people that have all had to get wrist surgery because of serious damage to their wrists from BJJ and kali.
On an unrelated point, had no idea my laptop was so dusty.
Because I’m injured, not only can I not work out, I also can’t cook.
So, my waistline has been suffering.
Although the kid’s thrilled.
Luckily, two small but glorious things happened in my area the past few weeks.
The first is that this famous Mexican food truck, called the Birria-Landia Tacos Truck, started operating at the southwest corner of West 72nd Street and Broadway.
It was given two stars from The New York Times.
We went during opening day/week, and it honestly deserves every accolade given it.
The second big opening in my area is H Mart, which is the largest Asian-American supermarket in America.
Previously, I had to travel north to 110th Street or south to 32nd Street – or even Chinatown – to get some quality Asian fare but this made it a little closer for me.
Just like with the Mex truck, I went there opening day as well.
Bought some prepared chicken, which was killer, and had that with some Korean beef I made myself with Rain’s grass-fed beef.
Snagged myself some cool wooden chopsticks as an opening day gift to boot.
Me: Thanks! Lemme take a quick picture of it.
Firecracker: Logan Lo, there are people waiting on line.
Me: Oh, I’m the annoying one here, aren’t I?
Her: (nods)
Probably wasn’t the best idea to cook with my bum wrist but I couldn’t keep eating out; plus it was like half-cooking since the chicken was basically prepared, I just needed to cook it.
The kid was a fan.
Him: This is so good!
Me: Which do you like better, the beef or the chicken?
Him: Which one is which?
Me: The beef is the darker one, the chicken is lighter and red.
Him: The beef!
Me: Sweeeeeeet, thanks!
My wrist is about 90% back to normal.
Gonna give it another couple of days and then get back to rolling around with it next week.
Location: a train, chatting with a chef about Louis Vuitton’s Taiga line
Mood: injured but less so
Music: How am I gonna be an optimist about this? (Spotify)
