jazzfishTwo weeks ago I went down to Vancouver for the week, and it was Really Really Good. I got to interact in person with human beings other than Erin, which I've badly missed. There was dinner with Julianne, musicking with Alisha&Amos, and a whole bunch of boardgaming with Zee and James and Holly and occasionally Zee's partner Lee. Zee and James and I all took Monday and Tuesday off, to facilitate more and longer gaming, and that was pretty great as well.
Then I came back, started exercising for real, and developed some persistent trouble breathing towards the middle of last week. So I went in and got a q-tip shoved up my nose.
In general I do not recommend this experience. It is somewhere on the border between "wtf" and "painful." However, it did come back negative, so, yay, just need to whip my stupid lungs into better shape.
Have some misc.
As Confederate monuments fall, don’t forget Bree Newsome’s athletic act of protest in 2015: "She had never climbed anything more than a tree as a kid or a rope in gym class. So she took a few days off to learn from the Greenpeace activist."
Doordash and Pizza Arbitrage: "Was this a bit shady? Maybe, but fuck Doordash. Note: I did confirm with my friend that he was okay with me writing this, and we both agreed, fuck Doordash."
This teeny skull trapped in amber belongs to the smallest dinosaur ever found: "Picture a hummingbird. With fangs."
I decided to see if I could figure out which sections of Good Omens were written by Gaiman and which by Pratchett: "Even in areas where one of the two author's signal dominates, the other author is present. Both Gaiman and Pratchett are detectable all over their shared work. That's a pretty great accomplishment for a collaboration. "
Settecani, Italy, where Taps Turned Water into Wine: "While the local council apologized and ensured everyone knew there was no threat to health with the mature wine coursing through the water system, some residents responded that the problem was fixed too quickly, and wondered if the problem could not reoccur later in the day."
