Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Hey, if having it be his idea works!

I think Loki has discovered the glory that is a/c. Normally he's down here all evening and he wasn't, so I went looking. Found him splayed on his back on the foot of the bed in front of the a/c. It's not even terribly hot (78 downstairs.) He wasn't inclined to be disturbed from his belly-cooling.

How nerdy am I? I just corrected the QI twitter feed.

Also, my arms are so tired from yoga that typing is almost too much. I was trying to read Infinite Jest and it was too heavy.

I wish I could do all transactions online.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I wish I could do all transactions online.

Right? I'm annoyed when I *can't.* The only flaw is my deep desire for instant gratification, which means that ordering stuff online means I have to wait, which turns me into an impatient 3-year-old.

It's stuff like calling people about doors when I know fuckall about what I need to bring to the table and going in person to get blinds and mattresses. I mean, there is some stuff you gotta do in person, but I just don't like to have to interact. Good news is shortly after complaining, I discovered the locksmith I used also replaces doors, and at the very least, you can make the estimate request online. They still have to come out and all, but at least less phone tag.

I really need to call my cousin and see if he can come down for a few weeks in the fall to just do shit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Weird. My home connection won't connect to youtube or here or a few other sites. I'm doing this over the phone.

Back still hurts and I don't think it will be any better by morning, ugh. Ice, heat, minimal stretching cuz it hurts too much, anti-inflammatories, calcium with D. Still no bueno.

We have a new Sensei at the dojo. Until recently, all our instructors have been females, which is pretty awesome when you think about it, but the new one is a guy. A young 20-something guy. A very handsome, fit, 20-something guy. He was wearing a black tank top and long shorts when he left the dojo today. Oy, perving on my Sensei is not cool.

there is something "barking" in the neighborhood that I first thought were a woman screaming. It's not a yippy dog, it's something I've never heard before, and the cats are growling. Coyote? Fox?

Definitely a fox, just looked it up.
