Ambitious, Gud.

I tried to make the plans pretty simple. There are a couple of beveled cuts, but mostly very straightforward. Wiring up the joystick and buttons could be a bit messy, but not too complicated.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Are you using a Raspberry Pi, Gud?

Yep.

I'm going to send you a link to my brother's blog, where he has (jesus christ) an 11-part series about building his own cabinet/emulator.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Mechanic could find nothing wrong with mac's car, so we picked it up. 1st load of laundry is put away, 2nd is drying, dishwasher was unloads, dishes in sink washed or put in dishwasher, box to sarah mailed - work mail picked up, all work invoices have been paid, and my daily reports are almost done. Full day - lots done, most of it from two rooms in my house - so I do not feel ragged.

I may go see a movie tonight. I also may start calling the vintage clothing store and make my upteenth attempt to connect with a person and schedule a drop off of items to see if they will buy any of them.

You're a machine, msbelle. That sounds exhausting.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I had a phone interview today at a college closer to my family. It went OK. I wasn't wowed about telling the HR person basically what was on my resume which she already had. But if she was satisfied then I will get called in for a Skype interview with people in the appropriate department.

I also got to have informal drinks with someone at another college where I've submitted an application. He's a friend of a friend who's in town visiting. That place sounds like a lot more fun than the first one but also not as financially stable as I'd like. (Not gonna lie—working for a place with a 6 billion dollar endowment is very soothing in these troubled times.) Still, if they reach out to me I might consider it.

Anyway, that was what the generalized~ma was for. I think it served its purpose, and I release it back into the Buffista ~ma pool, with considerable gratitude.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That all sounds pretty good Calli. Good luck!

After reading msbelle and Beverly's accomplishments, I feel bad about not attacking my to do list tonight, but it is hot, I am tired, and I really want to drink some wine and finish Jessica Jones season 2.
