Small World the board game, but for knowing when to quit your job and find another one.

Not saying it'd be a fun game; just one that would work with that mechanic.

OK, one more Górecki track: Symphony No. 4, Op. 85 Largo

That sudden dissonant slamming is something I'd definitely make the orchestra do if I had access to one. It is so satisfying.

Old Polish Music, Op. 24

Super good horn blasts! There's a slightly tense unresolved harmony there, that is nonetheless very familiar.

It seems that the score is only available at university libraries, for the most part. NYPL is the only public library that has it.

10-5-4-3-3.

Welp, valorously tried to grill in the rain. It would've worked, but I only got one batch of bulgogi cooked before I ran out of propane. We really should get a tank with a gauge on it.

So, I'm finishing on the pan inside. I think it might hold up without grill flavor?

The dissonant bells and consonant piano chords strike perfectly in this Górecki piece.

Did the run today, which I realized over the weekend I need to not skip. As trivial as it seems, my legs were aching after running on Friday after skipping much of the week.

Pull-ups: 10-4-4-4-4. I think the total is an all-time high for me or a tie for it. Reminded you never know how strong you're going to feel until you start because I was feeling minor dread before hitting the bar.

Watching this painting robot is soothing.

Brian has been writing a series of little travelogues about cool hikes he goes on. They're usually accessible natural spaces, the kind that I enjoy visiting, too. You should subscribe to his feed!

Yesterday, he wrote about Mount Si. I like the idea of small mountains that were once undersea.

(He was not talking about cucumbers. That picture is unrelated.)

Accidentally opening the door of the dishwasher before it's done is more mortifying than the time I opened a door on some naked people. (It was an exterior door at an open house.)

This was ten minutes ago, and I have had no word since. I'm concerned!
