3.21.F
11:45 dancing_ spotify, just made this, in bed. party this evening; now going to Moab for the first time, first thing tmrw morn.
6:45 my youtube playlists! i think i only caught one brief glance at me due to the involuntary tears gasps etc while revisiting musical marvels, chillin at this quiet cafe
4:35 why wait for anything? if i have a todo or even tiny lil project i don't need to do it later, i can do it right. now.
12:45 imagine a web service that subscribed to ur friend's (ahem-me) website updates, would u use it? if it were v simple? rss again?
12:40 it's true i recently 'set goals' for 'an arc' (10w goals), and even pubd on substack (sneakily-i didnt send that post via email), but now im thinking i should refactor? multiple good reasons, may elaborate soon
12:25 if i plan out a lot of things crush may be interested in, could i entice her to be a little crazy, and do adventures w me? doubtful
12:20 wow i feel good. Whoop recovery 90% this AM, vs 40% yesterday AM. last night was restorative. escaped my anxiety. workout this early AM, was ok, but i am stronger later in day. power out, so WeWork. early lunch break, walked to a fav spot The Rose Estb, read ~1/4 of Tiny Experiments. love her; tho many paragraphs i skate right thru in a sec (typical of self-help), some ideas i intend to use. i could read soo many books... but im gonna be creative, too! consumption is a sickness after all
3.20.R
12:05 finished de Botton; finished yams--mmm, oil 'em, bake 1h 425F, cut open and add butter, brown sugar, nutmeg cloves cinnamon, back in the oven; off to sleep now
9:50 unsubbed from ~10 substacks; still I pay-sub to 10 ($68/mo! patronage ftw) and free-sub to another 29!
9:30 nice, without twtr I finally plowed thru my chrome bookmarks (250 - 50 left but mostly twtr-I'm waiting to get back on for those-or actionable). also read more de Botton.
5:25 ha ofc im procrastinating by subbing an easier task...ill just do that for now
5:05 just laid on couch, bc i felt low energy, did lichess, aimless stuff, now even lower energy. getting up now to write short script.
4:30 amazing how well my whoop recovery score seems to correlate with having a bad day (<50%) vs a good day(>70%). today: 40%. it is a good day, given my treat (going to Loki Coffee), but a real crap morning.
4:20 on-call at work, issue to attend :/
4:00pm huh apparently you can still post to twitter via api (for free). i might set that up soon... (post via terminal).
3:40pm wow The School of Life is so fkn good. Alain de Botton really is wise. (You're probably like me and most people and think reading such a book sounds cringe, but it's incredible.) I do understand why people would cheat (pp. 155-164). I hope I enter a relationship in which she's as enthusiastic about this book as I am. It's erudite, dense, real and much harder to like, abuse or misapply, than almost all 'self-help' (which tends in turn to be shallow, limited in scope, mediocrely written with false-seeming positivity--contrast with de Botton's emphasis on "melancholy").
3:15pm wow it was surprisingly easy to get a yes. cute cafe fine w taking photos, even w a light for a few mins
1:30pm work, plan--go to cafes & ask permission to take photos (w/lights), plan--script short vid, initial footage at golden-hour, plan--late-cafe, chrome bookmarks->second brain to write later
WOOT! 1:30pm next Tuesday use X again...
