moslydeaf - the game is on

The occasional rainbow cast to the photos is due to this funky filter my roommate is using to shoot some low budg sci fi thing and I enjoyed the effect so much I slapped it between my phone and case. Now every bright light makes my photos hang with V'ger.

It's going to be a long summer. I'm already checking out condos near work and attempting to rationalize the price and recognizing that if I have that level of investment the best thing to do is quit and never live in LA again. I've also got four (count 'em - 4) detours between me and work, one of which closes at night which means I'm having to herf a 26lb rig over a traffic barricade in order to get home. In a few weeks I will have crossed 10k miles on that bicycle, nearly all of it ostensibly on the LA River bike path, without ever once riding the entire length of the LA River bike path.

I started the season by spending an hour in a sensory deprivation tank. My primary insight is that I should buy a rice cooker. Super King is also out of Baltika 7 for some dumb reason so I'm drinking Kilikia, although not very often, because 32 miles a day on a bicycle makes you exquisitely sensitive to alcohol.

Back when my daughter was a baby I lit up her room with some of those Ikea leaves with LED strips under 'em. It was dope. Unfortunately her room in Seattle is too small for all but one of them so I tried to borrow the other two. My daughter got mad and insisted they were her lights and why hadn't I put them up? In being down here a week I realized that I put them up in the first place because I'm so hungry for fucking living things that I think this is my mom:

So I'ma brave Ikea today and buy eight of the fuckers despite the fact that my room down here is smaller than my daughter's room up there.

Succession is a shitty TV series although it might take you an entire season to realize that it's basically Arrested Development if the Bluths were the Murdochs and everyone was really really mean.

I'm off to a weak start Haha.

Been waiting on the drafting supplies in the mail (I shouldn't have let that hold me up though, it ain't stoppin you from putting in work lol). I've been trying to avoid giving Amazon money when I can but damn if I'm not missing two day shipping right now.

In regards to the book it's been a cool read and what I've worked through so far has given me a better understanding of the CAD program (Rhino) I'm learning. It works on the same concept of getting to a 3d model. The program is actually a 4 window set up (front,top,side,3d). Who would have thought a digital drafting program uses the same concepts as paper drafting.... not me apparently.

We’ll have to get a beer this time during your stay.
