Sorry that it's taken so long to reply. My weekend consisted of a bunch of 0 days in a row. Maybe they're not 0 days, but my gut instinct is to call them that.

I didn't make ad. It turns out the minimum radius is 5 miles for Facebook ads. That's too big.

The Pascal quote has been swimming in my head, and the general idea that enjoying solitude requires the caring of others. I reached out to an old friend yesterday, and she told me that it's okay to not care about anything. I guess it's not a mode I'm used to.

I have a bad habit. I double down on my ideas and start new projects because each new one holds the promise of something better. I can finally rationalize this now, I've lost two clients last week, three if you count the accounts I manage in my fulltime position. Lit.cat's next issue is really good, if I can bring myself to release it. This bar website I run is willing to give me enough time to get myself on my feet before I implement the store for them- it's been four months now.

And then I'm too busy for people. I get anxious about things I could be doing, work related. On Saturday I went to a concert at the art space, just to stay on the balcony and get on my laptop to try to get work done. And I get myself into conversations like this, strangers on the internet- who I feel safest with because they're impossible to disappoint,right? I didn't reply back for two days because I couldn't figure out what I was doing with myself.

I want to scrap everything I have right now. I have a new idea. I'm going to buy the domain name Savory.af and make websites for food trucks.

Homer is gorgeous. It's a lovely town where there's a series of friendly livelihoods on the boardwalk and the breath of the ocean to moderate the temperature on hot and cold days. The ice cream is amazing, although every Alaskan outside of Los Anchorage will tell you that their corner of the world has best ice cream. But if your friend tells you its the best place on earth, believe him. Homer really is that place.
