What’s odd to me is that, in many ways, the ultra high resolution makes things like more fake. Does that make sense?
There’s a certain subdued, flattened/matte look that I associate with movies and television shows, with the crispness something I’ve only notied for when things are broadcast live.
“Late night
One more glass of wonder
Make a good night
Maybe we could stay up till the daylight
Steady in the movement of the stars”
It’s not quite right to me, but it’s right enough that I’ve started to reach for it more and more. Whenever we have a discussion and some random to-do task comes up… I’ll fire up the iPhone Asana app and make sure to enter it, lest I lose track of it. And try to assign some kind of due date, even if it’s just a placeholder.
So far, it’s been… good? I feel like I’m at least tracking the work we need to do, even if that work isn’t necessarily all happening.
I love that he does informal tests between the various versions of the pencil. I think it’s safe to say I have a certain obsession with this particular pencil, but Savage takes this to another level. And I think it’s fantastic.
It’s been a good clip now, where I’ve been trying to keep pace with Liz on her running regimen. She’s going out several times a week, and it’s inspired me to also try to do the same – to also suit up when she does, and to hit the ground when she does.
Our training and routes and vastly different, and grow more distinct with each week. She’s going for longer distances and time, while I’m still struggling with the introductory phase of things.
Shopping again at Costco, where some rough math on the back of a napkin led me to purchase this large box of 75 Eggo waffles.
“Suddenly his shoulders get a lot wider,
the way Houdini would expand his body
while people were putting him in chains. It seems”
For my test, I placed an order with Taco Bell… but failed to cancel it in time. So the order ended up getting delivered, and I threw my meal into the fridge.
Fast forward to today, and my conundrum: I’ve been trying to eat healthier lately, so part of me wanted to avoid day-old Taco Bell. But there was another part of me that acknowledged the fact that I spent my own money on the test order, and the act of not eating the food would just be a waste of money.
The placard next to the area indicates that it’s a Turtle Garden, and was installed by the Ladybugs Garden Club of Lilburn. After a bit of light searching online, I found a Facebook page, and learned that the group has been active since 1989.
“It started about noon. On top of Mount Batte,
We were all exclaiming. Someone had a cardboard
And a pin, and we all cried out when the sun
Appeared in tiny form on the notebook cover.”
So I started running again. I picked up running late last year, and was good about going out three times a week for a few weeks. But then it drifted away, and I lost it once the weather turned. With Liz ramping up her running routine, I’ve been trying to go out with her. I’m not keeping the same pace…
There are a lot of hills near us, which makes the prospect of running… challenging. I’ll be honest, the very notion of running is a challenge to me, and throwing steep hills into the mix is a rough addition.
Luckily, we’ve found a few spots nearby that are a bit more level. It requires some driving (and some small bit of planning), but definitely a better choice than hills.
Turned on the TV, and was happy to find two things: with the cable package here, they have a 24-hour poker channel. And it just so happened that the game I was watching featured none other than me Steve Aoki.
Woke up early today, to see Tricia off. She’s heading to training for a few weeks, and was catching an early morning ride to the airport.
Tonight, we arrived in the nick of time… and discovered we mostly had the entire theater to ourselves. The kids got pretty excited, and scrambled down to the front to get seats closer to the screen.
