As an international student, I&rsquo;ve hit the six-credit summer limit, which means I am, at long last, truly free. Naturally, this activated my run-around-everywhere mode. (Funny how I moved to America and then never researched a single trip. Am I actually just lazy?) So far, July has consisted of one day in the cowboy town, one day around downtown Fort Worth, and one day around downtown Dallas. Total loot: museum maps +3, traditional caches +2, EarthCaches +2, virtual caches +4, the final coordinates for one mystery cache solved, and two multicaches abandoned at the very last stage (next time for sure). Driving skill ++, travel experience ++, cultural literacy ++ (citation needed).</p>https://flaresky.me/en/posts/diary-132/Tue, 19 May 2026 12:00:00 -0500https://flaresky.me/en/posts/diary-132/<p>Congratulations to the <em>Sojourner&rsquo;s Diary</em> website on passing 520 visits on May 20!</p> <p>Zhuge Tianyao began the vacation promising an explosion of creative output, only to complete his evolution into a lazy dog.

Over the shorter and longer conversations I had yesterday and today, I have lost count of how many times I sighed. I actually dislike this sort of behavior—complaining that solves no practical problem—but I cannot help myself. While talking with an old friend, I described it as “the feeling of wanting to hold on to everything.”</p>https://flaresky.me/en/posts/diary-125/Sat, 03 Jan 2026 12:00:00 -0500https://flaresky.me/en/posts/diary-125/<p>125 is a cube, so naturally I wrote three articles today and published one on each of the three platforms where I regularly appear. Feel free to hunt for the Easter egg!</p> <hr> <h2 id="bilibili"><strong>Bilibili</strong></h2> <p>Ah, yes. Today is my birthday. I am celebrating in American time, so this post may appear a little late. But wait: China Standard Time and Central Standard Time are fourteen hours apart. If I count both time zones, I get a glorious thirty-eight-hour birthday! Brilliant as always.</p>https://flaresky.me/en/posts/diary-105/Wed, 06 Aug 2025 12:00:00 -0500https://flaresky.me/en/posts/diary-105/<p>By digging through my old like-favorite-coin records, I finally confirmed the first Weekly Chinese Vocal Synth Chart I had watched and left a mark on.</p> <p>Maybe it does not count as my actual “first,” strictly speaking. From what I remember of myself a year ago, I was some freeloading gremlin who had only just begun hoarding coins to reach &ldquo;Sixfold Jealousy&rdquo;. Watching the “one year ago” retrospective from two weeks back also gave me the vague feeling that I must have started with Issue 625. But does that really matter?</p>https://flaresky.me/en/posts/diary-104/Tue, 05 Aug 2025 12:00:00 -0500https://flaresky.me/en/posts/diary-104/<p>Step outside the frame: the America Arc does not necessarily have to be about America, does it? I have wanted to summarize this stage of my geocaching journey for ages, but life stayed busy. Now I have a workspace of my own—or procrastination space, depending on your definition. I cataloged the hunts I had joined, looking proudly at title after title in my bookmarks. Somehow I have played this many hunts in less than a year. I also prepared for CCBC 16, creating a dedicated workspace both to keep personal information out of recordings and to help myself focus. A little setup somehow produced forty-four pages. Absurd. At last, I can begin writing.</p>https://flaresky.me/en/posts/diary-103/Sat, 02 Aug 2025 12:00:00 -0500https://flaresky.me/en/posts/diary-103/<p>Since arriving in America, I have been recovering from jet lag, sorting everything out, buying a car, opening accounts, and running everywhere. The internet was finally connected yesterday; only today did I remember to write. Preparations before school are more or less complete, so perhaps the next few days will be easier.</p> <p>Mom will probably mention on her Moments that the other three were taken into the little black room at immigration because of SEVIS or something—some system malfunction, anyway—while I passed through without a single question. I did not know any of that at the time. After collecting my luggage, I sat on a bench forever before finding the airport Wi-Fi. The brother meeting us outside waited with me just as long. Thankfully, everyone emerged safely in the end.</p>
