DeGoogle-fication
how would i go about doing it? I use a Raspberry Pi computer as my main computing device and on it, i run Chromium and as of now, it is the only browser that works on this PC that can support ProtonMail (bc of higher-end encryption on THEIR end) and should i go to a BlackBerry phone (which could happen sometime soon) then I would need Chromium on this device to log into PM bc the BlackBerry browser (whatever it is called) will not handle it + there is no PM app for BB. So, it isn't a matter of going with Android (negates the purpose), or iPhone, or anything else in order to use the PM app; i simply need to get a better browser for the Pi. But Firefox & Firefox ESR basically don't work at all on this PC. Opera isn't avail on the RPi, either, i don't think. I could always try Opera on a BB, but that is a longshot that it would work. You see; i am commited to ProtonMail & making it work bc it is the best e-mail service out there, hands down, and the most secure. And i am signed up w/ that e-mail basically everywhere so i am sort of “locked-in” which i am more than fine with.
need to think abt all this. haha
be back in a bit!
tonight will definitely be a late night
bc i took a nap a little bit ago & i will not be tired at all. but at least i have plenty of nicotine.
i am gonna make coffee
be back in a bit!
Yum. But could be better.
Had dinner just now. Was rice, lentils, cheese packet from Mac n cheese, salt, butter, veggies, coriander. Nothing terrible healthy about this frikasee, but it filled me up. I would be much happier if the lentils had been 100% cooked instead of the ¾ cooked as they were. Oh well.
Nevertheless, tomorrow will bring lots of incredible food including the THICK grilled cheese sammys from the hospital my dad is at and the original Monster they sell there, as well. Good food. Good times. Afterwards, laundry at the 'rents with more food see there. I am not the type of person who eats constantly (in fact, it is usually only one BIG meal per day) bit I AM thinking a lot about food right now because I have been running low for a couple days. I am going to be able to make it to the store next Monday but that leaves me with a week(!) of a low food supply :( I will figure it out. Perhaps I can cash in some silver. idk.
So I am going to not stay up quite as late as I have been doing and actually going g to bed at a reasonable hour because I have to be up in the morning for a full day of running around. I got my meds in the mail along with the lozenges and took my Lexapro for the first time in three days so I should sleep just fine.
Be back in a bit!
met with Kevin
all is well. made future appts. informed him of what i have been up to recently. etc etc.
tomorro w i am going to visit my dad at the hospital before/after his surgery (depending on what time it is), & after i visit him i am going to the 'rents to do laudry. So it is going to be a full day :)
i got my nicotine lozenges in the mail and that is a very, Very, VERY good thing! i am releived. Haha.
e-course start tomorrow through SLCL. that is going to be incredible.
not a whole hell of a lot going on today other than staying inside & watching the sunset.
be back in a bit!
Forgoing eyeglasses
Opening bank acct
Paying (large) chunk of money to student loan bank
But for now...
Coffee firm my gd nicotine lozenges arrive in the mail today (as well as other meds)
Meet with Kevin and discuss the transport thing I was allegedly signed up for, but didn't confirm, blah, blah. I'm getting there.
Confirm going to the parents house (or visitation at hospital, at least) on Wed
START E-COURSE(!!!) Wed. Very much so looking forward to that.
Make more pitches to different pubs for this story (article) that is ready-to-go (but could be extended if need be).
Follow up with the pitch I made last night
Add a couple more things to the Tumblr bumblr (lol)
And that's about it for now.
Good stuff
Be back in a bit!
back to the emo playlist
i am going to (try to) go to bed after this

intentional writing
i discovered (by accident) a lot of blogs on tumblr that offer tips on “writing prompts”. In other words; things you can begin to type to get the juices flowing, get your fingers moving so you can write something bigger. i, personally, call that “intentional writing” & it was something i did myself before i ever heard the proper term for it in 2009 in college. when i first started writing about celebrities, i didn't know how or what to write because i had not written (anything meaningful) in several years. so i would sit down, launch the text editor, and just put my fingers on the keyboard and PRETENDED like i was ready to write something. When something came to mind, i started writing it. to get to the point where your words are put into text (or thoughts put into text, i should say) w/o having any real type of filter (besides a quality filter, no blockages, sort of) is a v hard thing to do. I never really get to an actual point where i have “writer's block” v often these days, but it does happen on a rare occasion. the important thing is that i am able to “kickstart” my writing, whether it be a blog post, article, what have you, fairly quickly, & just....go! Haha.
anyway, it was neat to see tumblrs dedicated to this. good stuff.
be back in a bit!
gonna be a looooong, slooooooow night :/
not tired at all
had coffee
1:09 AM
damn
there we go
added a bit more to the tumblr including a blogroll of my favorite blogs / sites / newsletters / people / etc. :)
more will be added over time
it is 12:28 so i suppose i can check to see if there is anything posted on the e-course website, but i think everything is going to be posted on Wed, the 14th (even though i wrote the 13th down). So i am going to just focus on the meeting tomorrow w/ Kevin (which i am not dreading, surprisingly) at 1:30 and seeing what bullshit we have to go over.
i had coffee, ate dinner earlier, now it is just time to sit and watch YT late into the night/early into the morning bc i know there isn't going to be anything going on on twitter.
i should/could get some productive writing done, i suppose, but i am going to focus on what i have written and the pitch(es) i have made. there are more to be pitched, though.
anyway, be back in a bit!
i created a blog just now...
....it is just the synchronization of this blog to Tumblr. it is the same one i was talking abt earlier but i added some links & whatnot to it. yay. (olearytm.tumblr.com)
making coffee
gonna be a later night
hooray!
