Saturday: Quarantine Day 15

Today I went to the office and got all my computer stuff.  I haven't set it up yet.

I also ordered a pizza, to support my local pizza place.

Groceries arrive tomorrow.

Cat, no!  I'm trying to do murders here!  Your meows are giving me away!

And then I didn't get the memo about walking the rest of the way.

I like these places where you can see the entire map.

And I killed the big bad guy, and then got his throne all dirty.

• Good.
• Amazon suggested this series, and then I sat down and watched two hours of it.
• I have never understood how these companies were ever going to make money.

Saturday: A busy day

Woke up early, and discovered it was the rainiest day ever.

So I decided to go see Weathering with You.

Never fits in frame.

It is not as good as Your Name was, but that's an unfair bar to compare it to.  Probably the best movie since, though.  Shinkai is very good at making things be very sad before resolving them.

And there's a Pizzaria Uno next door, so I have lots of thick pizza.

I've missed thick pizza.

Maybe a third of hell is done?

Then I defeated the Sphinx.

And watched this wolf butt spin around in the floor.

Wednesday: I was tired and lazy, and just wanted pizza.

So I got one.

I hope I feel better tomorrow.  I spent a large chunk of today itchy with some kind of allergic reaction or something.  Meh.

• Stardew.
• Stardew.
• Bubbies is closing.

Tuesday: Still super sleepy.

Today was election day, so I picked up lunch on the way to the office.

And caught this guy.

 Which meant I could evolve it to

This guy.

 Which completed a quest objection.  Plus I got lucky and was able to repeat my throws so I could complete

Another quest objective.

 Leading to

Some annoyingly difficult "catch a bunch of rare types" things.

• Gawker was murdered.
• I'm annoyed to find cool art only after it's sold out.
• Looks like all my votes won.
• That's kind of cool.  More general snek regression tools like in R.
• I had  no idea that this song existed outside of Marnie.

Sunday: I still need to pack some

But I have to wait for the dumb dryer to finish.  And then get to sleep early so I can wake up crazy early for the trip to Baltimore.  At least I don't need to drive the whole way, so I can probably sleep some.  I think we probably should have tried to leave today instead.

I felt like pizza today, and I've had garlic breath ever since.

I didn't post a picture of the hallway turtle from last week?  What?

• I want sushi now.
• It turns out that there is a way to get all the tabs currently loaded in chrome, but you have to enable the feature first.

Friday: I finally turned on my A/C.

It was just too hot this evening.  I could probably go back to open windows tomorrow.

Today was a pizza-for-dinner day.

And I solved a bunch of major issues with the new robospect code, so it now actually fits things when I tell it to.  There's some double-counting issue to sort out, but the majority of functions should be working now.

I just have to merge it all, and then open tickets for the infinity things that need to be done to make it "done."  Still, it's good to know that the main problem to finishing up some of this has been "typos".

• Gaussian processes are kind of cool.  I was thinking earlier that they might be a more robust way to fit continuum levels.
• Computers.
• Where was this paper, like, 22 years ago?
• Streaming anime sites.
• They were in a band?
• Good.
• I am shocked that I never made this conclusion regarding ghosts.
• I like how "pizza" was a "probably a human" indicator.

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 relaxing day

I really like the sugar bomb that is the mojo.

A trade.

A raid.

A big bear.

A pizza.

Some deer.

Sunday: Do I have tomorrow off?

I think no.  I don't think I get any holidays except the big ones off.  So tomorrow I should pack.  Which means tonight I should do laundry.  Except it's now super late, and I didn't already do laundry.  I better get on it.

I got pizza, because I couldn't decide what to get, and this is a satisfactory default.

Of course, I'm hungry again, so I'm probably going to eat a bagel.  I already threw out a bunch of stuff that would go bad.  I have stuff for lunch tomorrow, and then the bagels.

Ugh travel.

Sunday: I did a few productive things.

Not much.  Enough to qualify as "did something."  I also have my youtube watch later list down to less than 75 videos.  I don't think it's ever been shorter than 75 videos.

I do need to watch the final episode of last season's Supergirl this week.  The new season starts next week.  More importantly, Black Lightning starts tomorrow.  It'll replay on the app, but I should probably dig out my cable remote to see if I can catch it live.

I wanted something easy and fast.  Pizza is about the closest food to my apartment.

• Good news!  The environment is going to collapse and kill everyone, so it doesn't matter that our government is corrupt and run by fascists!
• Yeah, I think "still cancelled" is the right response.
• Thanks, Becky.

Monday: I do not understand traffic here.

People drive ten+ mph under the speed limit.  The lights turn red in an apparent attempt to stop all traffic from moving.  It's frustrating.

So I got pizza.

• That one guy from Cracked is apparently a piece of shit.
• These seem like a better idea.

Thursday: Things I should have done like two months ago.

1. Get a new driver's license.
2. Get my car re-titled.
3. Get my car registered.
4. Register to vote.
5. Change the oil in my car.

6. Have pizza.

But now that is all done, and although I still need to change my plates, all the difficult stuff is sorted.

• Now they get a BBQ place.
• This guy shouldn't have a job.
• I should have chosen a career path that involves giving drugs to animals.

Sunday: Better pork belly.

In fact, I should probably get all of my meat from the Woori-Mart by the train station.  Not to be confused with this Woori-Mart.  Or Woori-Market.

In any case, they had really nice looking short ribs that would make a great stew.  Their ground beef prices were good.  They had nice looking sliced brisket and steaks that would make good sandwiches.  Also: nice pink pork belly, with not so much fat, in nice thick slices.  Exactly what I wanted.

I got pizza before shopping, so I wouldn't be super hungry.

The one on the left is "tomato pie," which is a local thing.  It's like a pizza, but with a garlic heavy sauce and only a scattering of parmesan instead of the regular cheese.  It's good.

Also, WTF?  It was in the humid 80s/90s like three days ago.  This is crazy.  I guess it's supposed to warm up again, but I spent this weekend washing blankets anyway.  The storage section of my couch is quickly becoming blanket town.

But back to the pork belly.  I finally made this recipe that we've had at New Year's a number of times over the past ~4 years.

It is good and spicy and goes well with lettuce and rice.

And the mushrooms I bought yesterday when I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find the lettuce.  I'm planning on taking this to work for lunch tomorrow, since it came out so well.  Also because I made more than two pounds of pork belly, and so I have a lot.

• There's a debate about what a tomato pie is?
• I need to use up the leftover gochujang somehow.  Cheesy spaghetti, maybe?
• It's going to continue to rain.  A bunch.
• "How can we make it clear that our cheese is racist?"

Sunday: Pizza day

Because I wanted pizza.

And then I did nothing some more all day.  I just stopped this blog post to add plotting functionality to my FITS program.  So that counts as something.  I also dumped most of a ramekin of sausage and potato all over the bottom of my oven.  That was less than productive.

• The National Museum of Brazil just burned down.
• This is hilarious.

Saturday: Forced housekeeping.

Because the internet died.  Stupid crappy internet.  My NAS also went wonky when that happened, so that's not a good sign.  If it happens again, I'll have to figure out what's up with that.  In any case, I was able to take out the trash and recycling, and clean the bathroom and kitchen.

But I had pizza beforehand.

I also bought Overwatch because it seems to be the big popular game, and it's pretty fun. Having a bunch of different people to try out is a good idea.

• Tesla.
• This is dumb.

Sunday: A pizza day.

Because I really felt like pizza.

And then I got groceries, and only forgot one thing.  I did discover that Wegman's has a prepared/mostly prepared food section I've missed, which is wonderful.  A two pack of chocolate cheesecake slices?  Yes, thank you.

• This is bullshit.
• I have eggs, so maybe I should make tamagoyaki.

Saturday: This waking up early on the weekends thing is like a brand new world of getting things done.

Things I got done today:

1. Woke up when a computer called me to let me know my furniture will be delivered tomorrow between 9am and 1pm.  This is a much better time frame than the 9am-9pm I initially had.  Also I'm happy that they are delivering tomorrow.
2. Went out to buy a lamp.  I'm not super happy with the lamp I got, but I can adjust how bright it is, and it was always going to live in the corner and make the living room not cave-like, so it's not a big deal.

3. Finally got post-it notes so I have scrap paper to write little notes on.  This is a big deal.
4. Bought a mattress pad, since I don't like not having multiple layers between the mattress and me.  This one claims to be "cool."  I hope that's true.
5. Tested out the local by-the-slice pizzeria.  The pizza is good.

6. Made it home before the rain began.
7. Assembled lamp.

8. Installed sshd on, heimdall, the TV computer, giving it the ability to be remotely managed.
9. Installed RSS database and software on heimdall, so I can transfer that off my old work computer.
10. Relaxed firewall rules to allow me to actually access the RSS feeds.
11. Set up hostname management, making heimdall the new kadatheron.
12. Tested out screen casting with the new TV.

13. Did minor cleaning and decorating.
14. Covered more shelves in shelf paper, discovering in the process that I need to buy 99 more rolls of shelf paper.

Tomorrow I plan to get my furniture, maybe make cookies, and maybe make bacon so I can maybe have bltac sandwiches.

• Sailor Moon.
• Gabby is wonderful.
• New characters for Supergirl.

Saturday: I really wanted pizza.

Last night, technically.  So that sorted out what to get today.

Pizza!

Unfortunately, I asked for pepperoni and spicy chicken, and the guy behind the counter heard this as "pepperoni, and fuck me up with all the spicy chicken you can cram in."  It was painfully hot.  Still good, just a bit too spicy.

So I had to get shave ice to cool down.

Sunday: Ok, for real, I'll do something for this move this week.

But it's a lot easier to be lazy.

I did get pizza, so that's a thing.

• So that's good.
• Mark Hamill is a delight.
• This is a bad plan.

Saturday: The good news is, I didn't die in a nuclear explosion.

Which, you know, is a good thing.  I woke up, visited with my favorite tsundere squirrel:

He was fine.

 We made tarts:

They were delish.

And then I checked Twitter to discover that they accidentally issued an incoming missile warning, and a bunch of people freaked out, and then they cancelled it because it was a mistake, and a lot of people were angry, and I slept through the whole thing.

So if I don't send out a "Guess I'm dying in a huge nuclear explosion. #fml" tweet with the sad Pikachu gif, then I slept through being blown up.

This one.

Anyway, then I went to Punchbowl.

See?  Not blown up.

I just wanted to make a fancy fisheye thing.

And then pizza time.

Because pizza time is always good.

• The news story about how we didn't die.
• A cool Japanese memo pad thing.
• Squirrel surprise!
