TheLonelyWonderer,

Crochet amigurumi.

I also used to play various musical instruments for personal enjoyment.

TheLonelyWonderer,

Kiwi.

What item have you been using on a daily basis for the longest amount of time?

Sometimes I will use something and realize I’ve owned it forever. It’s a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never...

My coffee mug. I have it for more than 30 years and still use it regularly, even if not on a daily basis. I have obtained others through various means over the years but still hung onto it all this while. It doesn’t even have a chip or flaked off bits of it’s design.

I also have a hole puncher that my dad used as a young man. It’s probably close to 50 years or even more. It’s all rusted up now and doesn’t really see much use to be fair, but it still works for what it does.

TheLonelyWonderer,

Harvest Moon /Story of Season games.

Stardew Valley.

Diner Dash series of games.

TheLonelyWonderer,

From Australia, there’s Rake, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and The Nowhere Boys, although for that last one only the first 2 seasons.

My current Australian obsession is Bluey.

Doc Martin, Merlin from the UK.

Murdoch Mysteries earlier seasons from Canada.

I also enjoyed a few Korean drama series like Misaeng.

And this is really old from Japan, but Bayside Shakedown drama was really fun.

Other Japanese dramas I liked include Proof of the Man, Aibou, and Shinzanmono. I love Japanese police dramas and mysteries.

TheLonelyWonderer,

Just from looking at the texture of the batter in the pic and I have a feeling that this should be really good.

TheLonelyWonderer,

I enjoyed cooking and baking as well as needle felting and crochet to make amigurumi toys.

I also liked to read, study languages and collect the odd die-cast model cars.

No longer as much since I rarely have time anymore, but I played piano and other keyboard instruments, and dabbled in drawing.

TheLonelyWonderer,

London Fields was one of the worst films I have seen that I can still remember off the top of my head. Nothing made any sense, and I can’t even remember anything about the film other than it being nothing more than one bizarre scene after another.

TheLonelyWonderer,

House and Boston Legal. Hard to choose between them.

TheLonelyWonderer,

I don’t understand, even if the airline doesn’t maintain any wheelchairs of their own, under special circumstances like these, can’t they simply borrow one from airport services or something? Surely the airport has some wheelchairs around? Rather than have the situation end up in the utterly humiliating way in did.

TheLonelyWonderer,

There’s Sabrina (1954) and Sabrina (1995), if you like a suggestion other than from supernatural/horror/sci-fi genres.

TheLonelyWonderer,

This must be what it is meant when they tell us we share 50% of DNA with a banana.

TheLonelyWonderer,

Overnight oats which you can prepare the night before. Soak some oats in milk and keep it in the fridge for at least 2 hours for the oats to soak up all the liquids. Toss in your favourite toppings, like freshly chopped fruits, or even some chocolate, and it’s ready to eat.

TheLonelyWonderer,

Cooking is not necessary for overnight oats. I used steel cut myself, but the texture of these oats prepared this way may be chewier than you expect or are used to though, if you have always been heat-cooking them.

Just look up overnight oats and there are plenty of recipes and suggestions, some even using yogurt instead of milk. Here’s one from Martha Stewart for starters,

TheLonelyWonderer,

Just 3 seconds. The Oreos manufactured in my part of the world are very porous and absorb liquid way too fast, and I don’t like having my cookie crumble and break into my beverage just mere milliseconds away from touching my lip.

TheLonelyWonderer,

You mean it wasn’t already?

TheLonelyWonderer,

Find a recipe for dim sum restaurant style mango pudding.

Or Thai mango sticky rice.

Or just dice them up and use them as topping for yogurts and ice cream. Ripe mangoes are delicious.

TheLonelyWonderer,

I have a wall where I hang masks bought from my trips on vacation. A few other walls have landscape paintings and posters.

TheLonelyWonderer,

Over here in Asia, it has always been referred to as bubble tea, from the literal translation of ‘pao pao cha’. When it caught on in the west and took on the name of boba, it was a source of personal confusion for me, as ‘bo ba’, as rendered in hanyu pinyin, could meanssomething quite different.

TheLonelyWonderer,

That was probably a Star Trek reference, not about Robert Kardashian.

TheLonelyWonderer,

I still do. Most of my coffee consumption is instant, but I am not particular about coffee so long it doesn’t taste bad.

What things do you do while eating?

I have a terrible habit of watching Youtube while I eat, and then one video turns to ten and I’ve wasted the entire day. I’ve tried just not watching it while I eat, but JUST eating is so incredibly boring that I cave in and turn it on regardless. I can’t get any work done while eating either, since it takes me out of flow...

TheLonelyWonderer,

Nothing usually. I prefer to focus on solely the task at hand, even if it’s just eating. I find that when I try to watch TV or videos while eating, I will simply end up not concentrating on either and then take forever to finish my food, or get nothing out of what I was trying to watch.

TheLonelyWonderer,

Have always wanted to be able to play the cello, whose sound simply resonates with me.

TheLonelyWonderer,

Hotel Dusk.
