Disney nostalgia, guns and Halo mixed with Trump hype; a surprise room leak splashed the MacBook, forcing quick triage.
2024
Leak scares, war rooms, Trump loops, assassination shock, food-business sketches, debate rage, and election mythology make this the year the diary starts to feel operational, exposed, and dangerous to publish.
February
Coffee Math, Meat Dreams
Propaganda icons, jujube nostalgia, and relentless cravings—duck, brisket, assassin spaghetti—plus James Hoffmann turning coffee into clean science.
March
Halo Fury, Cowboy RIP
Helldivers and Halo obsession met Wordle wins, dark film gags, and Toby Keith’s death—ending in peri-peri plans and payphone nostalgia.
April
War Machines, Soft Memories
Halo cool-logic, Apaches and jets, tax charts and founders talk—then Pauline’s desk memory and a fallout-shelter sketch softened it.
May
CS50 Grind, Star Wars
Food videos and founder fantasies fueled momentum; CS50 and GPT-4o awe hardened craft instincts as Trump-loyal soundtrack kept running.

Situation Room, Debate Heat
Patriot-faith notes, Swiss-banknote obsessions, and Bukele resolve led into All-In Trump binge, VP chatter, and late debate rage.

VP Fixation, Bullet Shock
Elisabeth-for-VP campaigning ran nonstop, then the rally shooting flipped into prayer, RNC lion-energy, and vows of loyalty.
August
Montages, Orcs, Fast Food
Trump montages and party rants mixed with Halo and LOTR mood-swings, Sri Lanka leadership talk, and late-night NYT rescue beats.
September
Parrot Feathers, Reborn Sermons
Paul Simon loops, Pauline comparisons, Bible riffs, and golf-scare headlines played like performance politics—tender and uneasy at once.

Satay Blueprint, Warhol Joke
AML distrust and 10/7 tactics collided with crisp menu planning—satay, bread, lemonade—plus Trump-at-McDonald’s and Warhol wordplay.
November
Election Myth, Chip Experiments
Trump-as-1776 imagery peaked into victory relief; between clips came chips research, AngryPages visuals, Samsung awe, and Mac worries.
December
Weddings, Wizards, War Rooms
Old friends at a wedding, Halo honor, Kenyan AI labor reality, Netanyahu briefings, then Harry Potter comfort and year-end resolve.
