Whenever one of us says something good or weird or awesome in a way that feels unique or otherwise special, one of us says "write it down" and then I do, in the Notes app on my phone. We do the same if we overhear something interesting, insane, or remarkable in some other way.
NB: I did a post like this on April 3 and another one on May 6.
(Also: the birthday festivities that started yesterday continued into today. Sana was dope and Imanishi was lovely. Tomorrow I'm hitting the Jays game with a dude who I've been friends with since 1988.)

βπ½π₯ "We call that one Big Jim."
Big Jim is the best nacho on the top of an order of nachos. The nacho with the most stuff on it and connected to it by way of cheese.
βπ½π₯ "Does this place have a wine list?"
Like all couples, or at least fun couples who are cool and dumb (it works as "dumb couples who are cool and fun," and "cool couples who are dumb and fun" too), we are good at picking up on insane conversations that are happening around us, usually at a restaurant. If I want my partner to hear something, I'll find a way to touch my ear. She'll do the same.
If possible, I'll text something that she can read on her watch so it's not obvious. But sometimes you can't touch your ear or text without being noticed, so I came up with a phrase. "Does this place have a wine list" means "in case you aren't listening, something crazy is happening at the next table over.
Tonight, at Imanishi, we sat next to a grown man who had never heard of banana bread. No seriously.
Also: if you go to Imanishi, get the beef tataki and thank me later.
βπ½π₯ "You know Jeff Lafuzz, the famous raccoon bank robber?"
We saw a little raccoon climbing tentatively in a tree. I took some photos. And then we made up a backstory.
βπ½π₯ "Heβs a panda-coded sloth face."
I impulse bought a stuffed toy panda bear from IKEA and we named it J.P. Recently, my partner put the panda in a hilarious location that makes it look like he's creepily popping out from behind a vase and being nosy. Thing is, the panda doesn't look like a panda for reasons including but not limited to that its eyes are decidedly slothlike. And so earlier today my partner dropped this gem and I was quick to scratch it down.
