just spite-posting drafts today instead of posting what I’m actually mad about, that’ll work.

Hi are you a registered San Francisco Voter? We’re gathering signatures for a ballot measure for a bond that will fund the construction in Sunset Dunes Park of a colossal Sancho Panza facing the dutch windmill in Golden Gate Park asking a collosul Don Quixote “Which giants?” Yes we are doing it to make fun of car-brained sunset voters. I know right? Idiots. Oh, no it’s not a baseball team reference but that is funny too. Anyway thank you for signing, have a great day.

Hi, are you are you a re—

You’re absolutely right, you asked for a to go box for the rest of your meal and I just scraped food and paper straw wrappers off of the unfinished plates in the bus bin into one for you.

trip report nearly a year later: the home assistant music assistant add-on ( https://www.music-assistant.io/) plus https://www.radio-browser.info as a music provider are good enough now that I stopped using sonos apps entirely.

increasingly, while sitting at restaurants waiting for my food, especially when I’m sitting outside in the cold, I finely sharpen a hatred of the very existence of “to go” orders and the people who place them, places that take them, and the various services and go-betweens who enable them.

when I make a to go order myself, I’m a very special boy and would like my food please and thank you.

only fitting that, having destroyed every pair of side cutters I’ve ever owned on guitar strings, I initially used a d’addario string winder/trimmer to cut the pins.

It was insufficient and I finally broke down and caught a bus to the hardware store for a little pair of kleins to finish the job.

got one of those neato pdp11/70 kits ( https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11-get-one) for my birthday. I am shoddy with detail work and managed to only botch two soldering pin-throughs which were easy enough to correct.

idk how people who are able are not constantly, when at home, slinking around quiet as a mouse, from activity, to task, to seating, to get a snack, and so on, idk how they live.

“how quietly can I operate this latch? How softly can I close this door?” I think to myself.

"how delicately can I step–no, pad–across the room without dragging or stomping my feet. how can I coordinate my limbs like a little dancer?”

then the parents stay with us for the holidays.
