My boy Dr. Darren Wu is going through a divorce and we don’t know if he’s alright. He did buy a bow and arrow and a bullseye, but since his yard is short, he extends the range of his target practice by sliding open the back door and standing in the living room and shooting arrows through multiple rooms of the house at the target. Darren showed us a video of this, me and our other friend, the camera tight on him in his teal hoodie with a wrist protector fastened over the left sleeve, his phone probably on a countertop leaned against a cup or something, as he nocks another arrow and raises the bow, but we were laughing so hard over our burritos he shut it off early.
