bleh blog post
i found a new writing app called Writer (by bighugelabs.com) and it is p cool looking. it is a browser writing app but it doesn't publish it anywhere as it is just for personal use. so it def isn't a blog, just a place for my thoughts that i can enter into a browser window and not have to open a separate app on the Mac (as i am usually in the browser anyway) and i can later export it to (weird) blog platforms like MoveableType and TypePad and shitty Tumblr and everything. It's fine.
i also created a SoundCloud acct and i am not sure why i did that. a lot of podcasts are on SoundCloud but i think when internet bubble 2.0 comes crashing down, SoundCloud will be one of the first companies to go down the toilet. Just isn't a very interesting service imo.
anyway, getting groceries at 6AM. Go me!
i found a cool browser #writing app that is simply called “Writer”.
I realllllly want that exact Web app for offline use. It is cool.
Twitter is still down
i am still wired
all is right w/ the world :)
I decided that Twitter is crashing from the VMA's
which doesn't surprise me. Very popular event.
i can't send this as a tweet because twitter will not load
RIP Twitter
i'm wired
i feel good
i will probably do a Problem Set tonight if i don't feel shitty later
tonight is gonna be a good night and tomorrow will be a good day
#fucksleep
yada yada
FailWhale
at least for me. i guess twitter is down (for my acct anyway). I am sitting here having a second cup of java after having a v bold one and this one is eve bolder. I needed to kickstart my evening correctly and wake tf up bc i was tried all day. But i am feeling much better now.
gonna try twitter again
today has been a bunch of nothing but idk wtf i was expecting it to be?
i guess i just wish more exciting things were happening. or i wish i was in a better mood. or whatever.
i am going to drink an ungodly amount of coffee now
be back soon
if i didn't have such a busy day...
....then i would probably try to do Problem set 1 or 2 or whateverthefuck tonight, but i am still (mentally) exhausted. But nevertheless, i feel good and i am having coffee and i am having a nicotine lozenge (and have since decided to get more enthusiastic about them), and just overall feeling v chill.
I am going to go ahead and make my To-Do list for tomorrow and see what all i have to do around the apartment + w/ CS50x etc. I am also going to minimize a little bit, i think. I don't have very much to get rid of, tbh. But there may be a couple little things to get rid of. idk.
I know tht my shoes are going in the trash next month after i buy a new pair of Chuck Taylors (which are the exact same shoe only in baby blue). Chucks last me about 8 months, i discovered.
I am also going to make the purchases that i need next month (EdX certificate payment, app domain name, etc etc etc. So, good times.
I am going to set a goal, right now, to have this EdX certification done by October 15, 2018! Making this a very REAL goal and i gotta meet it. #GoodShit
be back soon
I need to make some decisions
about weight loss. i have covered this issue several times before on this blog, but i seriously need to buckle-down and do something about it. when i do get into the working out bit again, i am not going to do any “FitBit”, high-tech, life hack type of tricks to keep myself on-point. I am just going to go all the way and do it as oldschool as possible so i do not have to worry about #tech frustrating me or standing in my way. #FuckExerciseTech
What i WILL do is go at it every. single. day. Just like when i was living in #STL (midtown STL). I think this means i am going to have to find some place to live next to a park (if i can) or at least a place with a decent gym. I can accomplish this soon because my lease is about done at this apartment complex but i would have to do it (find a place) within a month.
more on this later
Now I am just writing for the sake of writing
Intentional #writing, i suppose. i said yesterday that i was going to get some writing done sometime soon here even though i am bogged down w/ #CS50x coursework these days (which is true), but, i figured this could be my little blog post of relevance (or irrelevance) for the time being.
Dad's hand:
It was filleted open like a fish today and they did all kinds of hideous and gross stuff to it in an attempt to make it disease-free, but at the end of the day the (very blunt) doctor said that he may end up going to a rehab facility across the street for his treatments bc of A) the length of the hospital stay, and B) they have more resources over there. The idea of him going there really upsets a lot of people because that building sort of has a reputation of killing my relatives bc we have had several go in and not come out. Fucked up operation they got going over there.
All this means he will miss out on the family reunion that is in September and also my cousins wedding, also in September. I am looking forward to both of these things, but then again, looking forward to both of them being over with because i would reallllly like to get my FACE tattoo relatively soon. It is going to be on the side of my head/sideburn area (right side). I am v much so looking forward to it.
Anyway, be back in a little while
Much Needed Rest
After spending 3.5 hours at the hospital sitting in one spot, waiting for dad to get out of surgery (that went well), i was exhausted from simply not being at home, so shortly after getting back here i went to sleep. I needed it!
Anyway, i am going to do (start) Problem Set 1, or 2 (so confusing, why didn't they call Week 0 Week 1?!) and when finished, i will update accordingly here. I look forward to it.
Be back in a bit!
Dad's hand is fucked
but that is another story for another time. Maybe.
Right now i just want to get the smell of the hospital off of my clothes.
i also switched back to Safari bc i have no use for Google Chrome. I want to delete my Google acct in the future but i need to make sure i can do so safely w/o fucking myself over as far as tethering and whatnot bc i have to have a paid-for version of FoxFi in order to be able to tether uninterrupted to the Mac.
that's all for now
