​Another day, another episode of Friends, and boy, am I ready for it. With all the chaos of my own life lately, diving into the world of Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey, and Phoebe is a welcome distraction. Let's see what shenanigans they're up to this time.

Right off the bat, we're hit with the news of a memorial service for a friend. Oh no, who's it gonna be? My money's on Ugly Naked Guy. That guy was a legend in his own right, and I wouldn't put it past the writers to give him a proper send-off.

Meanwhile, back in my own reality, things are still a bit rocky. Job hunting hasn't been as easy as I thought it would be. It's like applying for jobs is a job in itself! And to make matters worse, my wife is getting increasingly impatient with my lack of progress. Can't say I blame her, though. The pressure is on to find something soon before we run out of savings.

Anyway, back to the gang. Chandler's still adjusting to his new gig in advertising, and it looks like he's starting to feel the pressure too. Hey, at least he's got a job! Maybe I should take a leaf out of his book and start considering alternative career paths. I mean, if Chandler can pivot from Statistical Analysis and Data Reconfiguration to advertising, then surely I can make a change too, right?

Meanwhile, Joey's got himself into another sticky situation. This time, he's accidentally agreed to participate in a memorial service for someone he doesn't even know. Classic Joey move. But hey, at least it's not as bad as the time he got his head stuck in a turkey.

As for Ross and Rachel, it seems like their relationship drama never ends. I swear, those two are like magnets for chaos. But hey, at least they keep things interesting. Makes my own marital spats seem tame in comparison.
​
And let's not forget about Phoebe and her quirky antics. She's probably the only one in the group who can turn a memorial service into a comedy routine. Gotta love her unique perspective on life.

So, I finally caved and decided to try my hand at baking. Armed with a recipe from Monica's cookbook (yes, that Monica), I set out to make cookies from scratch. Let's just say, things didn't exactly go as planned. I ended up with a batch of cookies that were so hard, they could double as hockey pucks. My wife tried to be supportive, but I could see the disappointment in her eyes as she struggled to take a bite without chipping a tooth. Looks like I'll be sticking to store-bought treats for now.
