    "The sudden awareness of the immen- sity of the black void caused one of the cavers to suffer an acute attack of agoraphobia, the fear of open spaces. None of the three would later reveal who panicked, since silence on such matters is an unwritten law among cavers."

  • Vacation full day three of nine. (I'll have to do something special on seven of nine. IYKYK.) It became clear to me I must have raclette.

    I'm also watching Mickey 17, which was recommended to me long ago.

  • My phone's incompatible with custom ROMs. With Google preventing app side loading, I'm slowly looking at replacing it. I'm torn b/c of frugality/ecology, I don't love replacing something that's not broken. (Though, I guess you could say Google broke it. I think I'll end up reselling the phone or gifting it to a friend.) Anyway, any recommendations on phones that should stay e/OS/ compatible for the foreseeable future?

  • So since I'm off work, I tried going to the gym later in the day. Around 10:30 this time. Not a lot of people, which is nice, but here's the thing... This handsome guy with the tattoos of a Satanist and the voice of a sweetheart asked me some exercise advice and so now I'm going to have to go back and try to strike up a conversation with him to see if it was purely curiosity or if there was some mutual attraction there. 😅

    "So you see from my perspective, having to decide between old man Z and his story is an artificial, maybe even dangerous choice, and one I'm obviously not comfortable making. The way I figure it, if there's something you find irksome go ahead skip it. I couldn't care less how you read any of this. His wandering passages are staying, along with all his oddly canted phrases and even some warped bits in the plot. There's just too much at stake. It may be the wrong decision, but fuck it, it's mine."

  • I saw Pillion tonight. Wow. I really liked it and the end stuck with me. I can't talk about why without getting into spoiler territory but this film stuck with me and I can't express it in a toot. I'm off this week so maybe I'll find time to write a blog post about what I feel. I also need to let me feelings and thoughts marinate.

  • I'm trying to set up voice control for Home Assistant.... in Esperanto! There's only, as far as I know, one local option for an Esperanto STT model able to run on a Raspberry Pi: vosk. And let me tell you, the set up (especially with dockerized home assistant) is, uh, a labor of love, let's say. Mi sukcesos !

    @AdaraAstin Yeah. I do my best to try to be the same. But I've also realized lately that people are afraid of freedom and the responsibility that brings, whether that's in the political or personal sense. Becoming a deliberate actor in one's life is scary and some just plainly don't know how to do it. They only know how to be subjected to an experience or situation, not to actively navigate it. I shouldn't but I do feel sometimes like I must help them at least become aware that that's an option

  • I've been absent because I've been spending a lot of time with a friend who has had a death in his family. I feel stretched thin, tired. My job as a friend is to help my good friend carry his burden, to be a witness to his grieving in a way that his family should have been. I'm tired. I'm sad. But his sadness is not mine. I carry it because we must be there for each other. Because I love him. It leaves me quickly because it is not mine. But I think of him, I worry for him. I treasure my friend

  • I almost got hit by a car today. While in a sidewalk bike lane. He came pulling out of I guess some kind of alley or parking area or something. I braked, yelled in English "Jesus fucking Christ!!!" while staring deep into the pupils of the void, realizing that I was a hair away from the car. I turned my head to see who my would be murderer was. And then he proceeded to chew me out. I was trembling. It happened a few hours ago and I'm still shooken up.

  • So my new pet peeve with the French is how it is now the new fad to just respond to a text message with "Rien compris" ("Understood nothing") instead of asking any clarify question. Often this is because of a typo or autocorrect gone haywire (which happens to me a lot with a keyboard in three languages) but heaven forbid we try to actually put in any effort, right? Heaven forbid we say "I didn't understand what xxxx means." Or "I think you made a typo." 🙄

  • Pray for ya boy. He's about to go into a meeting with civil servants to explain what a product owner is and what their job consists of and how to run a user interview in a way that avoids biases and gets the user to tell you what they really need. (Disclaimer: I am not a product owner. I just play one on TV... I mean, at work.) The person I'm talking, as far as I understand, is a consultant in.... running meetings? Honestly, I'm frightened. /s

  • Saw the movie Gattaca in the theatre for the 1st time tonight. I remembered I liked it and the plot but it was only now that I understood why it resonated with me since I first saw it, around 15 y/o: I saw myself to some degree. Without details, we can say I'm not genetically blessed and for most of my schooling I was considered to be a bit slow. Years later I'm doing things people thought impossible of me. Valedictorian, Fulbright, producing theatre... Few would have imagined

How I'm Spending My Free Time

House of Leaves

Mark Z. Danielewski

Cover of House of Leaves

A young family moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story—of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.

Total playtime in the last two weeks

13.9 hours
