Tuesday: Now I want doughnuts.

Big fancy doughnuts like this.

• The Emperor abdicated today.
• Wow.  Such unexpected.  Much surprise.
• I like when I read a stat paper, and an appendix just states "yeah. That's hard.  We did IRLS instead."

Monday: Work again.

Fighting code changes.  Stupid changing code.

Poke present A.

Poke present B.

• These are bad questions.  I think they're all pretty much explained in the movie.
• The Imperial Household Agency is bad.

Sunday: Tomorrow is a regular work day.

And I'm not totally ready for that.  I guess I have to deal with that, since I fly out next Saturday.  I probably need to get ready for that at some point.

I also discovered that getting to the airport isn't quite as hard as I thought, but parking is.  It probably does take longer if you "follow speed limits" though.

Not technically the ocean.

• I think this is what my neighbor was shouting about.
• The Eva ones are good.

Saturday: This ocean is farther away, and not quite as nice.

This is kind of a cool building.

The Atlantic.

• Yes.  ALL THE TIME.
• Also went here.  It defended the harbor back when that was a thing.
• Well, this seems like it'll be worth the time.

Friday: I do not like waking up early.

So much so that I woke up an hour late.  Which then meant I only had an hour to get up, shower, drive to the airport, wonder why you have to circle the airport twice when you park, and then try to remember how arrivals work (spoiler: badly).

The good news is you can apparently drive to the airport in like 30 minutes, so that's not unreasonable.

Didn't spin any pokestops today, though.

• Ha ha!  Burn, motherfuckers!
• Chuck Grassley doesn't care.  It's not like the people who he needs to vote for him can pay him enough money to pretend he cares.
• ProBirb has a podcast?

Thursday: This weekend is busy.

I was able to get most of the things I wanted to get done done at work today.

Which was good, because I had to ditch out early.

Ok.  Didn't "have to".

It's pretty good, but it's not really a proper movie.  It's the capstone on a decade of movies, so they have to cut it up into bits to show all the threads being tied together.

I want more Carol.  And more Val.  I would like a "Peter Parker is Very Flustered With All the Heroes Around Him, Like Carol, and Val, and Okoye, and Wanda" movie.

And tomorrow I need to get up to drive to the airport.  I still don't have a clear idea of what to do this weekend.

And then next weekend I fly to Texas.

• "I can't believe Thanos was devoured by a swarm of squirrels."  Spoilers.
• Krugman.

Wednesday: I have too much to do

But I over slept this morning, and I'm ditching work early tomorrow to go see Avengers.  And then I have to get up early on Friday to go to the airport, and then next weekend I have to get up early-ish as well to go to the airport.

• I like trains.
• Wait, you can !r a thing, too?
• Legal issues.

Tuesday: So I figured out why that thing was wrong.

I was doing it dumb, that's why.  It's now less dumb, so I can finalize things tomorrow.

"When was I in Colorado?"

Apparently last month, but not me.  I guess maybe gifts that contain eggs link the egg source to the gift source?

• Yay for my grocery store!
• We were talking about kabob at lunch today, and I couldn't remember the name of kafta.  I should make these.  When I finish my ham.
• And then you get to the interior pictures.

Monday: I'm sleepy

And have almost fallen asleep on my couch like five times.

So sleepy.

And all my rss stuff got donked up again.  I suspect tumblr screwed something up on their side.

• Coward.
• Cowards.
• Great how we keep having to debate if people are people.
• Fox in Socks.

Sunday: My tummy is full of ham.

Delicious delicious ham.  I don't know if this was just an extra good ham, or if my lazy cooking method (throw some cider in the bottom of the dutch oven, put the ham on a steamer over that, and chuck it in the oven for two-ish hours) was better, but this was super good.

Also avocado toast for lunch.

But more importantly, ham.

So now I have two big containers of ham.  I think I'll get groceries so I can have proper sandwiches this week.

• Good.
• Dog, no.
• Stupid.

Saturday: It turns out that the cheese selection at the Korean grocery isn't that great.

Pancakes, because they sounded good when I got up this morning.

And the trees are blooming!

Yay!

• Why is this not a thing already?
• I would like another Klonoa game, please.

Friday: Stupid donking not-a-holiday today.

Evolved a ball.

Finally caught this jerk.

Two exact same raids right next to each other, and no one around to play.

I do too much work on post-it notes.

• Language.
• Zoning.
• A good costume for Ms Marvel.

Thursday: Stupid donking not-a-holiday tomorrow.

Everyone else gets tomorrow off. :(

And I clicked wrong, and didn't get to see the big version of this one.

• This seems obvious.
• Huh.  That was my backup ramen place. 

Wednesday: I have been sleepy all day.

Present from Singapore!

And it's pretty cool!

I finally evolved Ampharos.

• I don't know why this isn't obvious.
• Not a bad way to handle funding, I guess.
• New cranes.
• The story of Easter.

Tuesday: Ugh, why is it Tuesday?

Tuesdays suck.  Plus, Portia released today, and I downloaded it, but then the Flash was new, dinner took longer to cook than I expected, and now it's getting late-ish, and I haven't played enough to be happy yet.  Tomorrow is the G.W. Wilson signing event on campus, so I'm probably going to have a late evening tomorrow as well.

This is the only pose that I thought about, but looking closer reveals that it donks up my glasses.  Come on.

• Yeah, as d->infinity, all points x ∈ R^d go to edges and become vectors become orthogonal.
• Not the Witch!
• Monkey Punch too?  That sucks.
• How are people still so bad at this?  Now to read the department climate survey results.

Monday: Today I rediscovered that turmeric stains skin.

This is after like 24 hours and like eight different washes.

 Whoops.

Yay a new level!  I can't remember the last time I made a level.  New year's?

And I got this guy for doing regular things.

• This was sad news to hear after lunch today.
• I realized over the weekend that most of my grocery bags have been around like five years.  I think I'm ahead of the game.
• A good way to handle games.
• Huh.  Clickhole has a good point.
• And here's the answer.  They still make the not-fig ones?

Sunday: I was super lazy today.

I had to get groceries, but didn't really feel like going out to do that.  I guess that means that I buy half my groceries from Amazon and WF delivery now.

I did go out to get lunch, and to put Rhydon into the gym.

Leftover yummy burger isn't quite as good the second day.

• Best Noah myth.
• There's an ice cream truck that visits my neighborhood.  I wish they had different music.
• Punch nazis.
• I'm tired of old white guys running for office.

Saturday: Errands and the best burgers ever.

But first, pho.

It's not as good as the old place was.  Plus, it's full of cilantro, and the only way to fix it is to make it spicy.  And they only have sriracha, which isn't as good as the old place's spicy sauce.

And then I organized my taxes, and cleaned the bathroom, and did dishes, and I thought about doing laundry and putting warm clothes away, but I never got around to that.  Maybe tomorrow.

I also probably need to get groceries tomorrow too.  Ugh.

Today was also the day that I finally got around to making these burgers that Julie suggested.  It's only been like, a decade since then, so that's not too bad.  They're pretty much awesome.  Probably should have bought fish sauce before now, I guess.

Friday: The thing at work works.

Except there have been API changes that make it not work.  It's hopefully fast and easy to fix, but I'll look at it next week.

Daily gym thing.

I've actually had pretty good luck, and now I think I'm at a point where I don't fill up on items or Pokemon if I don't pay attention.  Maybe I should buy a new pose next.

I needed to get envelopes to mail my taxes, so I bought a new stapler too.  Plus Jersey Mike's, because it's yummy.

I also bought cool looking magnets, but the magnets ripped off the front, so I have a bunch of plastic junk, a bunch of tiny magnets, and one that didn't break.  Ugh.

• And I need to decide if saving $10 is worth going back to Staples tomorrow.  I can get it from Amazon for slightly more, and I think it's probably a good option.  My current big backpack is falling apart, and with Pre, I no longer need to bother taking out my electronics.  This one looks significantly bigger as well.
• I support the WGA.
• I mean, how can you not?
• Gabby is great.
• Which is why this makes me so angry.  I didn't like it when they cancelled the old book and made Laura go back to her old name.  This is so out of character for both of them, and I hate it.

Thursday: It feels like this week has been forever long, but is also way to short to get everything done.

I don't know.

• Clickhole is pretty great.
• This is disturbingly awful.
• Good news.

Wednesday: I need to finish my taxes.

I did all the numbers tonight, and things worked out better than expected.

I also used this time to have groceries delivered, which

1. Yes, is super lazy.
2. But I can spend five minutes shopping online to put together the things I need.
3. And then use that time at work, fighting traffic coming home, and doing taxes instead of fighting traffic to get to the store, impulse buying a bunch of stuff, and then going home.

So it's kind of like an efficient use of time?  And it's not significantly more expensive than getting regular groceries?  Maybe this is not just me being lazy, but it a proper thing I should be doing.

• Interferometry is pretty cool.
• I want about zero Renner-Hawkeye, but some Good-Hawkeye, and a whole bunch of Kate-Hawkeye.

Tuesday: I should really do my taxes.

Ugh.

• Maybe.
• This is pretty horrible.
• Ok.  I don't really see anything that will change for me.

This episode.

With the Dash card.

Tomoyo: The card got away.

Kero: Hey, break into that girl's house and capture the Dash card!

Sakura: I don't know, this seems wrong.

Rei (the girl): That strange injured cat [the personification of the Dash card] I found last night seems to be making me fast.

Sakura: Um...

Rei: I think I can be as good at running as I was before!  Strange cat is great!

Sakura: This feels super wrong.

Kero: She's cheating anyway, so let's go capture the card!

Sakura: I am really uncomfortable about this entire scenario.

Everyone: It's ok, Sakura!  We think you're incapable of doing bad things!

Sakura: That kind of just makes it all worse!

Xiaolong: I hate everyone and everything (except Yukito), so I'm going to capture the card myself!

Also Xiaolong, using the card: I have no moral qualms about cheating.  Or lying.  I'm pretty much terrible, but that's ok.

Monday: Sleepy.

Partially because of getting up early.  Partially because it's too warm out today.  Partially because of sleepiness.

It'll be nice if I can upgrade all of my game storage with just the same handful of PKMN and the gyms by work.

• This sounds a lot like breaking the law.
• Huh.  So the DRM isn't great.  Good to know
• Hrm.  Gawker deserved/deserves better.
• 
  

Sunday: Another lazy day.

I probably should have taken the trash out.  I'm also not happy with the fact that winter is totally over now, so it's just going to be hot now.

I did get pizza.

• This just seems super corrupt.
• I like interactive graphs.

Saturday: A lazy day.

Those are always good.

Less good is the greek place I went for lunch.  They basically got everything wrong, and my kabobs weren't very hot.

I did get everything I wanted at Target, so that's good.

• Actual meaning.
• That's pretty horrible.  I would think that "being convicted of a crime" would mean "can't be a cop, crime-y".

Friday: Is it 50 coins per day, or 50 coins per gym, maximum of 50?

Because it feels like if I'm in the gym over night, maybe I'm not getting as much as I should?

• I like that the one ring has Kero and Spinny.
• Webcomics.
• CY is interesting.

Thursday: Today seemed really unproductive.

But I got two big things finished, and discovered what's wrong with at least one other.  So no?

Plus, I got my Amazon package with random purchase barcode scanner.  It works better than I expected, and coverts barcodes into the equivalent ascii using a USB keyboard interface.  That means I can now bulk scan my piles of books and things, and then do all the database lookup/populating after the fact, making book organizing much easier.  And, because it works as a USB HID, I can plug it into my tablet, and not need to lug a computer around.

Dumping someone in the gym on the way home seems lazy, but also seems like an easy way to get lots of fake money.

I guess it was burrito day?  In any case, I wanted to get groceries tonight to avoid the weekend crowd, and this was on the way.

• Fuck this shit.
• Science ferret.
• I guess I read "computing and society" now.

Wednesday: pdb.set_trace = lambda: None 

Apparently that's the way to force your code to skip all the remaining debug breakpoints  It'd be nice if "clear" worked, but whatever.  "continue 9999" would also be great.

Routine gym takeover.

 And despite it being late, I did the whole "make dinner" thing.

Garlic noodles.  I think I've sorted out the recipe, which is nice because it's just "a gob of butter, a bunch of garlic paste, one teaspoon of everything else, as much parmesan as you can stand."  The arugula really helps, as the peppery flavor cuts through the garlicy goodness.  I'm also happy Target sells pre-cooked frozen shrimp, so I could claim this was a proper full meal.

• I'm super surprised this guy is awful in literally every way.
• Yeah.
• I'm interested to see how this works next week.

Tuesday: Too many things to do.

Staying up late playing Stardew didn't help any of them get accomplished.

Taking over a gym didn't really help either, but I was on my way home.

• Why did this take so long?
• I hope this makes people less dumb.
• Hrm.
• Huh.

Monday: Liar day.

But new Legends of Tomorrow.

Doggo from eight years ago.

• Oh.  That's great.
• The new era is Reiwa.
• What that thing is called.
• Database stuff.
• New Legends.
• The best joke this year was from the cosplay people.
