2020 in a Nutshell

[zesty_pinto]

I made a large dish of duk gook to commemorate the New Year. I was looking forward to it since it's been awhile and I wanted the excuse to enjoy something I don't normally eat.

We got maybe one bowl out of it before it went bad overnight. I tried to pick out what bits I could to save some of the several pounds of food before I gave up and drained the entire thing before I dumped the vomit-scented fermenting brew into the trash.

Not long afterwards, I ended up reading the news and came to a conclusion:

I think that's a pretty apt omen for this year.

Yep. You nailed it.

Lolsob.

Oh that would be so frustrating! Sorry your dish didn't turn out.

I'm not sure what your conclusion was, since it's not showing, but I have a feeling I can get close if I really think about it.

In my case? That we're looking forward to a new slate for the year but only get to enjoy a small moment of it before everything goes back to hell again mercilessly. Typical pessimism on my end, though this event was a little too on the nose for my liking.

That's kinda what I figured you'd say. You are not alone in this feeling. We may not be feeling it about the same specific thing, but the feeling is there on my end, too. Try to keep your chin up. :)
