I feel like the little Chaozu (of Dragon Ball fame), drawn here at the edge of my notebook. Lots of things going on work-wise, but also, as a bonus, COVID is back at home – so, yeah, great...

First time making Mappa Tofu. Wow! I never had anything with Sichuan Pepper before - the sensation it leaves in your mouth is WILD. Tingly, numb, … unlike anything I tasted before. Can’t wait to have it again!

This plant just keeps growing. I can basically watch it get taller and taller while I work.

We celebrated the school enrollment of our daughter. We had incredible luck with the weather and could spend the day at the lake. It really amazes me that we somehow have two children in school already. Time truly flies.

Enjoying the evening with some manga. There’s supposed to be a Witch Hat anime coming out this year – the trailer looked great! – but I haven’t heard anything about it in a while. It’s September now… should I be worried?

First time trying to make Gimbap. Tasty! (But there is still lots of room to improve!)

Escaping the city with model planes ✈️

How often I stop and wonder what happened here while walking around this city never ceases to amaze me.

This window was watching me wander through the neighborhood 👀

After a long day at work, I thought it might be a good idea to unwind with some video game commercials in the form of Gamescom’s “Opening Night Live“ event. Well, the highlight certainly was there right at the start of the show: “Silksong,” the follow-up to “Hollow Knight” – one of the best games ever made – was on screen for a bit and the 2025 release date confirmed. But after that? In all the AAA bombast, not much excitement was to be found. There is a reason why I stopped watching these events: I’m not interested in another iteration of your annual shooter, the 10th gacha collectathon, or your free-to-play tank game. It’s all a bit… boring.

Seen on my way to the comic store. I ended up just browsing and not buying anything – the volumes I wanted were out of stock, and no new books caught my attention. Better luck next time?

Believe it or not but this was my first Bubble Tea. It was… strange. I like strange.

My dad sketched this on the dirty train window - my personal travel companion on the way back home.

I love Frittata. Easy to make, yet delicious and beautiful to look at!

A Korean dish I cooked for my parents. My mom's recovering from a broken leg, so I took the chance to hijack the kitchen for some new flavors.

Switch ad or real live?!

Came across this spot while out on a bike ride 🤩 This was a total surprise: We just heard something that sounded like a waterfall, went looking, and found this incredible spot near Forsthaus Valepp.

Like a window between the trees.

Late at night in the Magic Garden.

This is a good one!

At the riverbank.

Towards the sun.

Spending the evening researching niche RPGs like a totally normal person

Up and down at the museum

A day at the lake – reading, paddling, swimming. Good times.

Should we really go in there?
