  • Dreamed last night that I went back to teaching SAT/ACT/SHSAT/ISEE prep teacher. But for some reason I wanted to specialize in teaching only the math sections this time. I think I decided to only do one on one prep instead of full classes. It was a nice change of pace, I guess, but I think I'll keep my current job.
    Speaking of which, I am going to work in Athens from April 28 to June 10th! If you'd be so kind, fediverse, give me your Athens tips!

  • I'll maybe write a bit more later on various life events but I'd like to say this:
    I love and am loved by many people in many ways, and that is a rare chance that should be acknowledged.

  • donthatedontkill quoted House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

    "Me, staring down at that lifeless dog, not a speck of blood mind you, just a shadow looking alot like some kind of a charcoal drawing, featureless & still, floating in a pool of yellow lamp light. I couldn't even say anything, not a cry, a shout or a word. I couldn't feel anything either, shock alone possessing me, depriving me of any emotional meaning, finally leaving me in a mad debate over what to do with the body: bury it, take it to the pound, throw the thing in a garbage can. I couldn't decide anything. So I just crouched there, knees burning, finally filling with enough of that distant pain that tells all of us, especially in our sleep that the time has come to move. But I wanted to give this dog a name first and lists skipped through my mind, endless lists, which in the end ran out. There was no name. I was too late. And so I just stood up and left. Call me an asshole (and fuck you too) my Pekinese friend was gone. Ant food now. At the very least I reasoned--the body was close enough to the curb. The street sweeper would get it in the morning. Another mother to all strays."

    — Mark Z. Danielewski: House of Leaves, pp. 268-268

  • 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. 😅

  • 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 !

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

11 minutes
