Astoria loves Lions.

A neighborhood flower.

I saw John Carpenter at the knockdown center last night. Really fun show, and we were on the street before 10:30pm! ❤️🎵👴

I took a photo I only kind of liked. Something was missing. Turns out? Mirror.

I’ve been digging into some new music this month. And by new music, I mean there’s also a bunch of stuff from a few years ago, and some of that is incredibly generous with the word … Read more

Playing with desaturation.

This movie rules. Saw it in vista vision and only the front row was left. Had a great time but my neck hurts.

Retsina doesn’t always sit in the toy box, but when she does, she drinks Dos Equis. 🐈

A good rain.

Playing with hyper saturation at the intersection of industrial and green space, in Astoria.

I culled a lot of books off my reading list, and added books I already own. The list is now longer.

I donated some shorts to the local thrift store, and walked out with Coffee and Cigarettes and Season 4 of The Simpsons on DVD, and the Choose Your Own Adventure Tattoo of Death. Not bad.

The proposed CSS reading-flow property seems very useful—it’s challenging to create complex layouts that also have good reading order for screen readers, and that usually results in jumping through markup hoops. I’m hopeful reading flow would make those non-issues. 💽

I actually like a lot of the new Liquid Glass apple redesign, but the expected readability issues are very much present. 💽

My dad texted out of the blue, this time about Robert Redford. In honor of Robert Redford’s passing, I’m watching Barefoot in the Park. Redford is paired with the one and only Jane Fonda. The movie is … Read more

I’ve kept a haphazard journal since I was a teenager. It’s helpful to write it, but not that useful to save. I got rid of lots of notebooks last year. Now, I’m writing digitally. I don’t like it as much, but I can save it forever. Cool?

Today, I learned that Shania Twain and Mutt Lange’s relationship was even wilder than I thought.

[They announced their breakup] after Lange had an affair with Twain’s then-best friend and secretary Marie-Anne Thiébaud, with whom he reportedly continued the relationship and moved to Switzerland.[7] Lange and Twain divorced in June 2010. On 1 January 2011, Twain married Frédéric Thiébaud, the former husband of Marie-Anne.

Where’s the Netflix documentary? 🎵

Some days, my human body feels like it’s made up of about 65% urine.

Last week I completed Mental Health First Aid training. Good material, and a great group and instructor. I highly recommend it to anyone who’s interested.

Now that the Switch 2 is out, I’m not playing that, and instead finally playing Switch 1 games. It’s like mini time travel. Mario Odyssey is both what everyone else was playing eight years ago, and what I’m like, “Whoa, they pulled this off” right now. 🕹️

Finished reading: The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki 📚

What a beautiful book. How Ozeki handles grief, mental illness, and growth, is astonishing.
