• My sobriquet is Kandy.
• An approximate description of me — A quaint troglodyte and weirdly sophisticated farrago of multiple disciplines.
• My favourite English poetic lines are:-
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
— 4th stanza of Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost.
In overall literature, most profound line that I have come across till now is:-
एकम् सद्विप्रा बहुधा वदन्ति। (Ṛg 1.164.46)
— Ekam Sadviprā Bahudhā Vadanti.
— The Truth is One but wise call it in many ways.
An honorary mention of my favourite Zazen:-
The birds have vanished down the sky,
Now the last cloud drains away,
We sit together, the mountain and me,
until only the mountain remains.
— Li Bai

You got to wake up Jack!
I like your current one too, Kandy. although I don't know who that is.
Daily life is fairly uneventful as it usually is, but I've been redeeming the time, so to speak, by imbibing great anime and music, educating myself, and experiencing some of the best video games ever made.
Also, I've upped the ante on my perpetual struggle to master Japanese, and lately I've been working on an essay about otaku culture in that language. It's been an interesting and enriching process indeed. As Stephen King said, one writes in order to find out what one thinks.
What do things look like on your end?
Was hoping to get a new bbq grill :3
