Didn't I Write This Story Already?

Partly inspired by the Snowpocalyse of 2015 in Masschusetts, Naomi Pritzker wrote a story about people socially distancing and trying to make enough food because of a pandemic. She talks about what she could tell was coming and what she couldn't.

There it is. April snow.

2020-4-15 19:31:25

Well, I let the day go by without getting a real workout in, so single set of 12.

2020-4-15 11:51:17

I gave up on my insistence that people just look at a web page for my resume. I added a PDF link. The people want it.

2020-4-14 19:31:21

I’ve been riding these stress waves for the past couple days, but at least the guy ate six tacos and is making this with fuse beads.

2020-4-14 17:22:16

I ran for half an hour, and I feel predictably good now. Woulda gone longer, but I got to Fresh Pond, and whoa, that's a crowded path. Backed off, but could not think of a route on my feet, so I basically just went home.

2020-4-14 07:54:01

Wow. I took a really long time on that Bonus Cat and Dr. Wily painting.

2020-4-14 07:43:47

It's been a whole month since we've all been sent home, and I still haven't really adjusted that well.

2020-4-14 07:07:54

Here’s where the painting sit in the living room. That’s Katt’s painting of Wily on the radiator on the left. It’s amazing when Wily lies on the radiator under that painting.

I also finally finished this cats painting. I was freaking about the highlights I added, but Katt recommended I prevent myself from looking at it for a few days. After those few days, I realized they were fine.

2020-4-14 07:00:05

Oh, yeah, I finished my tiny nonyptych the other day.

2020-4-14 06:58:32

It’s nice to have sun inside again, too.

2020-4-14 06:56:39

I walked outside with a mug of coffee, which I’ve somehow never done. It always sounded appealing.

The holding coffee while walking part is actually awkward. It was really nice to be outside in the sun, though. It was rainy all day yesterday, and I went out only once to bring in the garbage cans. Seeing things get brighter and brighter gave me a sort of ambient optimism, entirely independent of reasoning and the facts surrounding me.

Dan was talking about teens not wanting to go outside this weekend, and I remembered that I did care at all about things like the sun or pleasant weather as a kid. I think I was 30 when I started enjoying the outside.

This guy's name. Just. Incredible.

Police say Adam Smith's hand and penis were anything but invisible as he enjoyed the wealth of, if not nations, himself, around 11 p.m. on an inbound Red Line train.

Putting all utility aside, it feels better to have more physical strength than less physical strength, especially when your hope for the future has been drastically reduced. Again.

10-4-4-4-4-11. Took a break in there to get the guy dressed.

2020-4-13 11:09:50

I imagine people are already hesitant to open their doors these days, but here's another reason.

2020-4-11 16:02:48

Low-limbed trees are good for your confidence.

2020-4-11 15:47:20

The eyes are there to fool predators.

2020-4-11 15:39:48

Yellow tape and tree shadows a-plenty out there.

2020-4-10 21:24:48

Since starting Zettelkasten a little over two weeks ago, I've taken over 60 notes, some of which formed the basis of a podcast. Not bad! Also, I can't believe it's been two weeks.

The podcast needs a lot of work in the content and delivery areas, but I'm glad I have some automated tools set up to at least easily produce an episode, at least in the mechanical sense.

He made a marble run guy!

2020-4-10 16:45:42

I definitely cannot stay up really late without crashing the next day anymore.

2020-4-10 13:41:37

I got my 30-year-old Player’s Handbook rebound! It is no longer falling apart, and we included some lost pages that Katt “discovered.”

Episode 2 of Small Findings is up!
