This was a rough week. Thank God it’s Friday.
The Manitou Springs Incline
I just got back from a moderate hike, and I cannot think at all. You know the old joke, ‘I can’t brain today. I have the dumb’? That is how I feel.
Took some good photos.
For Posterity
As the years go by, my writing will steadily chronicle my descent into engineering-school based madness.
Unrelated, but doing something ‘for posterity’ makes it sound like I’m doing it for butt aesthetics. And girl, I got junk in the trunk.
Site Health
The site has some weird update behavoir. I’m working on it.
Social Media
I really should tweet, get an insta, or whatever, but they’re just all so horrible.
Music
I got Conan the Barbarian’s theme on random when I went to the treadmill this morning. Spotify: good
WFH
I’ve been drinking preworkout instead of coffee in the mornings, and yes, it does give me heart palpitations. But I am fired up for that first Zoom call of the day.
Hiking
North Table Mountain left a big, silly smile on my face. There is good in the world.
Musings in Twilight
I gotta rewrite the beginning of TiH. Either Kog goes with the party and returns alone, the story starts much further back, or something happens to change the dynamic. Kog’s violent dismissal from Shang Du is far too quick, and all the threads and angles I built go nowhere.
Likewise, I need to resolve the Osret, Drowning Breath, and Fate agent arcs.
I don’t know what to do.
Conspiracy Theory
Charlie Munger, Henry Kissinger, and Sandra Day O’Connor all went within three days. That’s some serious rule-of-three patterns.
