this took all day (but felt like 40 minutes of work)

from ~8am to 6:20pm stopping only for lunch and a shower

our friend Gina Smith is coming over to watch some Andor episodes (we're star wars nerds and she's never seen it!) while eating chicken and drinking beer

I could get used to this life

a computer maintenance term I haven't heard in 10 years. i assume Windows does it routinely in the background now. don't care enough to find out.

the out of focus thing seen here is shoving my camera right up to the screen as my computer goes through its backup routine before shutting down. it's not defragging anything afaik. i just miss that word.

celebrating Katemas (the birthday of Kate Bush) along with the birthdays of my sister-in-law and our newest friend, Jae-woo, the boy wonder.

woke up this morning to news of a fire in the aforementioned sister-in-law's apartment building next door.. where our friends Tim and Sammy live. They haven't seen my message yet, but we've heard the fire is out. I won't be able to really relax until they answer it.

also, an enormous tornado near Appleton, WI. My brother, who lives in Madison, didn't even know about about it until I told him. Korean news agencies have a long reach indeed.

Just now heard from Tim. He says he didn't know about the fire. Slept through the alarm. These are my friends. I used to only see one 10 o'clock a day, but now I'm asleep by 12:30am and up at 7:30 and usually take a one hour siesta. I'm so old. (no i'm not, i'm only 56.. [young me: that's old dude!])
