Monday: Nearly finished work things.

Two things into review, sprint notebook largely finished, plan to try and finish other things tomorrow.  Yay.

Plus new art that requires another weird size frame.

• Government funding.
• This isn't something to worry about.  At.  All.
• I enjoy this dynamic.

Saturday: Queso burger

I didn't take any pictures, but I had queso, and the burger was ok.

Then today's plan of "do a draw":

The trick is to draw the thing to copy upside down, so you don't think about what you're drawing.  It's pretty effective it seems.

I mean, this isn't the best Raven ever, but it's not terrible.

I should practice more, but I think that's generally the case.

And then I played some more Obra Dinn.

Ok, so this lady dies because a beam falls on her.

And this guy has his gun out.  What's he shooting at?

Oh fuck!  Kraken!

 I was not expecting that.  It's a good "everybody-killed-everybody murder mystery, also holy fuck!  Kraken!" game.

• I haven't looked at the spoilers, but I'm curious about the light out in the ocean in Obra Dinn.  Let's beat it before looking.
• The reference for Raven above.
• And the artist's site.
• Good.
• Crappy houses.
• Actual good art.

Wednesday: I have to wake up early tomorrow, so I probably can't play Stardew tonight.

It's somewhat cyclic, it seems.  Some days I really want to play it, others I don't really.

This was too cool to battle.

These turned out pretty good.

• How do these garbage people get elected?
• Also a garbage person, I guess.
• This looks like a good series.
• This article looked interesting, but I haven't checked.

Thursday: A birthday day

Also an abstract writing day, but I've had a headache all evening, so I'll finish it and submit it tomorrow morning.

Cat dress.  At the art museum, three years ago.

My favorite beach, two years ago.

Today I also finished up the image simulation code I've been working on all week, and if I'm lucky, tomorrow will be some trivial changes to use that code for all the unit tests no one really bothered with.

• So read this.
• And I'm not saying that this guy might be a fuckboi, but...
• Huh.  Now I wonder if my glasses aren't always dirty, but that my astigmatism is poorly corrected with my current lenses.
• My understanding is that these are all computer generated images.
• Incompetent and racist?  Whaaaaa?

Saturday: Museum day!

I woke up later than I wanted, but I still had three hours to explore the Princeton Art Museum when I got there.

That looks familiar.

I like animal shaped vessels.

I'm a bit torn on having mummies on display.

That.  Is not.  A dolphin.

Michael.

I probably could have spent more time there, which is a good thing.  After walking around the museum with a grumbly tumbly, I wanted something to eat.

Brisket, gravy, mac and cheese, cheese, grilled onions, with a side of dipping tomato soup.

The grilled cheese store is good.

I dumped Cloyster in a gym.

And finally caught a Buneary.

• The grilled cheese place.
• Fuck Mitch McConnell.

Monday: Things almost work at work?

It's close.  I don't fully understand where one test is getting things, but I think the solution for now is to ignore that problem, and put it into a separate ticket, in order to get the main problem sorted.

I am not Utagawa Kuniyoshi.  Obviously.

• An encyclopedia of Yokai.
• Oh, wow, because that was such a big part of my life that I'm going to have to find my own solution.
• What?  I assume he didn't get paid enough in bribes to allow it.

Friday: Nothing worked today.

A list of things that didn't work:

1. The disks on the main cluster node.
2. The main cluster node.
3. Jira.
4. Google's understanding of current restaurants.
5. The test server.
6. Parking.
7. Half the things I tried to make work today.
8. The sky.
9. The health insurance webpage.

It was not the bestest most productive day.  Plus, I should spend a good chunk of the weekend writing and planning a talk.  I think I'm going to make it mostly figures, because that's most likely to be useful.

I did get an etsy package today.

It was full of glitter.

 I was surprised, and kind of blew it all over.

Also the art I saw when Julie sent me a link to the artist.

• It's called racism, Ben.  That's the big issue.
• I got mail about this yesterday, and didn't know why I'd ever use it.  Then Julie was sick and couldn't schedule an urgent care easily.  This would be super easy to use from the couch, where I could be sick and get my doctor-ing done without leaving the house.
• I don't know, something something Squirrel Girl.

Saturday: I should pack, but I'm not going to not go to the museum one last time.

Lunch first, though.

Steak sandwich with caper relish.

I caught this Lovecraftian horror.

And then dessert.

 The special exhibition was art by Erick Swenson.

Oh look.  I accidentally the cape vs deer sculpture.

Interesting.

 Fun fact: Erick Swenson isn't really my style.

Art deco birds?  Sure.

Guanyin? Of course.

Japanese bird + plant prints? Duh.

These guys?

This ancient guy?

This dancer?

Yves Tanguy?

Dodie Warren mezzotints?

Yes.  All of that is more my style.

And I had to do La Tour Cafe one last time as well.

• Everyone in that agency should be fired and barred from any government job ever.  This is just being needlessly evil.
• Elon Musk is a fucking idiot.
• This game may convince me to buy a game console after I move.  This single game.

Thursday: art museum

SF MoMA again.  

 I like art.

 My favorite Ellsworth Kelly.

 A cheese plate, outside, where it was cold, between art.

 Art spiders.

 The exhibit I was hoping to see.

 More leftovers.

I've finally finished the first omnibus volume of Sandman.
