  2. I need to find a band to play with, picking up a guitar at home just gets junior’s attention and then breaks the impulse to pick up the instrument in the first place, like a dog or cat vectoring in on the one person who isn’t into one or the other (which is also me usually), or like a helicopter manager ignoring the headphones and full screen doc or IDE for a “hey, do you got a second?”

    well, I didn’t, but I guess I have all day now, because, welp!

    by corollary, managers who do that are actually saying “hey, hey. will you play with me?”

  3. Making stuff once a week with perishables has really upped my kitchen hygiene; I p much don’t touch anything with my fingers anymore that I’m not about to cook and eat immediately, with the exception of salt

    a screenshot from Terminator 2 of the T100 on the left and a young John Connor on the right. The T100 is on a pay phone talking to the T1000 at John Connor’s house, tricking the T1000 into admitting that it is not actually John’s foster-parent by asking after John’s dog but using the wrong name for itTERMINATOR (in John's voice) I'm right here. I'm fine. (to John, a whisper) What's the dog's name? JOHNMax.Terminator nods. Speaks into the phone.TERMINATORHey, Janelle, what's wrong with Wolfy? I can hear him barking. Is he okay? JANELLE (filtered) Wolfy's fine, honey. Where are you?Terminator unceremoniously hangs up the phone.Turns to John.TERMINATORYour foster parents are dead. Let's go.Terminator heads for the bike. John, shocked, stares after him.[pushing up glasses] This scene gets a lot of meme time but it’s also pretty funny because you would think the dumb ol’ T1000 would have been loaded with a pretty extensive dossier on John Connor that included the dog’s name.

  5. Was still thinkin’ about that marg from a few weeks ago, and a then a friend in Marin gave us a few tomatoes from her garden.

    this one is topped with additional chiffonaded basil, and smoked sea salt

    I had pan fried some hot italian sausage (intending to pair with red onion slices and provolone instead of mozz) while the first two baked, for a third pizza, but this one was so good I didn’t even bother with it, and so I tossed the extra dough ball in the freezer

  7. Worked my way up to a jogging a full mile over the past few weeks and, I guess my form was wrong, or my body wasn’t ready in spite of all the walking I do. I didn’t notice any one bad move but when I tried to repeat the mile jog a few days later and couldn’t make it a block.

    By the weekend, I had to bail a mile into a simple walk, and I’ve paused walks and strength training for at least a week while whatever is going on calms down.

    as a life-long “why on earth would I do that to myself?" and "what are they running from?” sayer coasting on the metabolism and cholesterol levels of youth, I finally, when I don’t need one, have a real excuse to not like running

  8. 21: “Family Furnishings", by Alice Munro

    The later, somewhat darker, more explicitly autobiographical half of Munro’s anthologies of short stories.

    Munro’s characters tend to (I know this reads like a horoscope) move on from situations for the next thing without a plan, or to be a little selfish before getting back to being serious, if they ever do. She’s always putting characters on trains, or in cars, or on buses.

    gravely (@gravely@mastodon.social)Attached: 1 image thirteenth book of '23, “Wilderness Station" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25194123-a-wilderness-station) by Alice Munro (previously issued as "Selected Stories” (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14281.Selected_Stories)). Wow! Loved it. The “Selected Stories” title has had time to be rated and critiqued by much more careful readers. Lots of comparisons to Chekov, who I suppose I'll check out next. I'll also definitely be getting the companion collection, Family Furnishings, Selected Stories 1995-2014.Mastodongravely (@gravely@mastodon.social)RIP Alice Munro I'm a few stories into "Family Furnishings, Selected Stories 1995-2014”, the companion to “A Wilderness Station", which I read a year ago, and expect to finish it before summer is out.Mastodon

  9. Texts like this are like the inverse of gell-mann amnesia, and the best ones (which this is? Idk I’m not that well read to say!) do so w/o degrading into the easier and tedious "we’re all failing and need to do better” conference keynote gimmick simulation of it.

    anyway, by which I mean, you read about an area of focus in another field and see the author clearly knows what they are talking about and moreover that the grievances they have align w/ the same grievances you have in your own field

    two “fun facts" (my kid picked up that phrase and has been using it arbitrarily, so now I do)

  10. 20th book of 2024: “Killed by a Traffic Engineer”, by Wes Marshall ( https://www.killedbyatrafficengineer.com).

    Killed by a Traffic EngineerKilled by a Traffic Engineer, book, transportation, transport, safety, road crashes, accidents, pedestrians, bicycling, bike, walkKilled by a Traffic Engineer

    Lots of people read this last year when Marshall published it and the title was so catchy, I thought about it after the last few accidents in SF, which made me think I should go back and actually read it.

    80+ three page ideas, lots of overlap with the incident management side of my day job, casually written (if a little too pop, even, but I guess that’s ok).

    Every field is like this, it seems.

    The paperback cover, as I read it, of “Killed by a Traffic Engineer”, by Wes Marshall. Title and author name in all caps grotesque, pitch in a standard case, all center aligned, title top, author name bottom right, pitch bottom left, white on black. In the center is a photograph of a stop sign that has been damage and the lower left corner bent out of shape, so that it only says O PRed spine, white text.KILLED BYA TRAFFIC ENGINEERO PShattering the Delusion that ScienceUnderlies Our TransportationSystemWESMARSHALL
