Now these are the kinds of apple events I'm on board with!

I've writing things down to do each week in a notebook. Unsurprisingly, a lot of those things don't get done; I always want to do more than I can.

I'm starting to feel that it might help me to explicitly abandon things and internalize how much I can do, rather than just forget them because I'm too busy, then find them later and feel regret. This is difficult to do in a notebook because you have to either continually go back over previous pages or recopy old tasks to new pages.

A good place, then, to track this stuff would be something like a Trello board, but…yuck. I don't know what it is exactly about that, but it's probably an association with business that makes that repulsive and disheartening.

This, of course, then leads me to think, make myself my own TODO app! But that also has gross associations and is not a good use of time.

[Now I am pausing from writing this to think of a solution so I can end this note tidily.]

I could carry around a small sack with several slips of paper in it.

OK, a wallet of cards?

Heh, I just remembered that I wrote a Trello viewer 2 (?!) years ago. It automatically decided what I should be doing in a week during what periods (e.g. mechanical activity time, concentration time). I pretty much ignored it all the time.

Man, fuck productivity.

10-5-4-4-4. Squirrel putting stuff in a hole.

Some guy tried to flag me down while I was running to ask for cigarettes. I have no explanation for that.

You can loop this instead of watching Netflix.

I grilled today because I felt morose re: part twelve million of What Do I Actually Want Out of a Career?

It actually helped!

Roasted red peppers are pretty satisfying. I was thinking, eh, how's it different from fried or stewed. The texture is soft, but firm. (Which, admittedly, doesn't sound appealing.)

A full disc of onion is the right amount of onion for a third-pound burger.

The Hilda episodes that aren't book adaptations are a lot less stiff. The troll rock one flowed very naturally.

I wanted to post a screenshot here, but Netflix does not let you do that anymore, probably because of some unreasonable DRM restriction. Oddly enough, I was able to open the YouTube app, find the entire episode uploaded (including the Netflix logo opening) and take a screenshot from that.

For Percy, ceremony means nothing.

I have three different jackets in my office right now. Truly, it is fall.

5-5-3-3-4-3-2-2. Well, it was raining, and my hands kept slipping to the sides.


OH NO
¯¯¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯¯¯


No squirrels out, either.
