poi (points of interest)
- wild week! it’s just been a week of so many logistics with vendors.
- my entire team was on holiday for almost a week :) lol but we got through it
- contractors have started work on the house
- i kept getting build errors with the site, hence the first weekly update. i may move to this format? but we shall see, or shorten the daily.
- we got a new car! and i already love it. it will definitely get its own tree, as will the sonic if i can keep it around long enough.
- the rap beef of the millennia. felt like we haven’t had a cultural moment like this in a very long time. and yes, kendrick won. not even sure how anyone out there thinks otherwise.
- mom came back from korea :D
song stuck in my head
there are plenty from the last week:
need i say anything? kdot bodied this. and this...who knew kung fu kenny was hilarious? i didn’t but this song is ridiculous lol and definitely the kill shot in this beef.
not sure what it is about this song.. but when she hits that flip, i get chills. it’s so cali pop punk and such a throwback to high school. also, i love that it’s named “tek it” which seems like is a reference to “teching” in smash bros, which would be apt for a song about a situationship. this song has gotten popular due to tiktok, and its most recent sample in red moon by lil uzi vert.
at first i thought it was brent faiyaz, but after listening a bit closer, i realized the lyrics weren’t as toxic as a classic faiyaz track lol. in my stupor of “will they, won’t they?” regarding kendrick and drake the drizzler, i completely missed this track soaring up the charts. but what’s special is not the fact that this is a certified bop (although it is), or that this funky af (although it is), but he has a line
took her to Queen’s Gambit (yeah, yeah), showed around my friends (right now) being that this track sounds straight outta dc, i decided to do some snooping. in my mind i thought there’s no way he’s referencing the only dive bar in woodbridge… lo and behold, this man is from woodbridge, va LOL anyway, i’ll rep him forever for that reason alone. hope he keeps producing heat.
