i should be allowed to drop some words in some sentences and some letters in some words

It’s a secret to everybody. I put my sourdough starter in the little closet under the stairs where my home server and network gear is when I feed it on weekends in the winter.

so I’m finally going back to 1999, running it for myself only, on my home internet connection. kinda nice tbh

the actual work of getting it to build was mostly fighting with the cruft of fads and new-things (shtml, textpattern, wordpress, octopress, etc) and incredible journeys ( https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/) and stuff I’d divested from over whatever reasons seemed sufficient at the time. Oh, we are all protest-deleting our github accounts now? Ok, I can do that. Oh, flickr got acquired and is being weird? Cya. tumblr too? bummer.

most of the content is even more personally embarrassing than it was when I blew it away last time, six years ago. No one should have to reconcile with specific texts of their own teens, twenties, or thirties, which was the explicit reason I used to keep it up, until I didn’t believe it anymore: the unexamined life, blah, blah, blah

got my old 1999-2011 blog ( https://web.archive.org/web/20170709060307/http://archives.grantstavely.com/ to build with 11ty ( http://11ty.dev ) during idle time over the past few weekends. I don’t know if it’s even possible or coherent to rebuild the 2011-2018 tumblr ( https://web.archive.org/web/20180330002228/https://grantstavely.com/) I replaced it with

anyway, 11ty seems nice

someone who knows better has a hot tip that there is in fact a bathroom up the steps next to harmonic in thrive city (“yea, I’m going to the city next week”; some local “hey, we don’t say “the city” you sound like a damned tourist, we say whole ass name [enunciating carefully] Thrive city, c’mon.”)

need to investigate this claim

I can hear this hooky Newmanesque chorus (or a much better one probably) getting played at Giants games and everything

Oh, San Francisco

Oh, I gotta go

Oh, I gotta go

planning a picnic and intending to use the grills at the new bayfront park ( https://www.sf.gov/news/mayor-london-breed-celebrates-grand-opening-bayfront-park-mission-bay) and it looks like, oops, no bathrooms there?

why does LA get a randy newman and we don’t?

those jerks at HBO better not disrespect Steve Huey, JD Ryznar, David B Lyons, and Hunter Stair with all that is going on with the world right now

:22 second mark, phew ok, we’re gonna be ok
