Silly nonsense update, i’ve completed the seventy or eighty prologues to The Museum of Eterna’s Novel (The First Good Novel) by Macedonio Fernández and would like to congratulate myself for not posting out of context paragraphs of it this entire time like this one, which it is full of. now to start the novel itself
Figure 1. three paragraphs of mid prologue boasting, thanking readers of bad posts for staying committed to reading posts while waiting for the first good post to come along, of which this is but one of dozens of prologues, and thanking the bad posters for posting all the bad posts, which keep said readers reading, because this is why they will still be readers who read said first good post.
Seventh book: “Good Strategy Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters” by Richard P. Rumelt.
Read this one for work and had a few people I’m “doing strategy” at work with read it too. They generally like it a lot so far.
I’m a big hater of most business (generally: airport) books full of hindsight, anecdote cherry picking and etc. This one has all of those things, but reads more like a memoir, which helps a lot. Anyway, I finished it. Parts were good, even.

Last night I captured a time lapse video of about 8 hours of our red and green prayer plants (9:30PM to 5:30AM) finishing their evening stretches and then relaxing into morning, as they do most days.
BREAKING In a move decried by the SF BOS (pejorative), SFPD had been authorized by Mayor London Breed to hire Superman and equip him with a light saber.
Apparently there are real hardy types who consider it just a hotel who would rather be in a tent or something but i would love to be snowed in at the ahwanee rn while the entire valley is snowed in, by that fireplace
Figure 1. "the great lounge" room at the big, old, fancy, 20s lodge in the yosemite valley; a huge room of 20' ceilings, three great long walls of glazing looking out on a meadow, seating for hundreds, and a great big fireplace on one wall with sofas facing it, which i've personally enjoyed a great book on, in front of said fire, on a quiet evening.
I’m at the combination hair growing out selfie / “i guess i’m a large size shirt now” selfie/ lol at this shirt which i like to read as both for and against drinking post
Figure 1. selfie, receding hair line pompadour?? 40-something in a pink t shirt that fits, with a woodcut style illustration of a bottle kicking a brain between its legs over the slogan "stop thinking / start drinking" on it.
