Author, Thinker, and fellow Home Restoration Master Generalist Jack Cheng writes about his daily Daily Routine. I always find getting a peek at how others do their daily grind fascinating.
I finally have a small collection of items to post to The Cramped. I’ll be doing so soon. I don’t give that site nearly the attention it deserves and and struggling with what to do with it going forward.
Saw both Mean Girls and The Color Purple this weekend.
Mean Girls was good but a whole film studies course could be built around The Color Purple.
Former Star Crash
My dream last night:
Sitting in a parked car with a friend who is dropping me off back home, a vintage slightly beat up Porsche 914 runs into us. A handsome gentleman gets out as do we to inspect the damage. He seems really sorry and is deeply apologetic while taking full fault for being distracted.
After a few minutes of my friend and he talking over the next steps, we have this exchange:
Me: Does anyone ever tell you you look like Andrew McCarthy?
Him: Man, ALL THE TIME! (Waits a few beats)…. Especially when I travel, or when I’m at the bank. When I have to show my ID anywhere really…
Me: Is that because you’re Andrew McCarthy?
Him; That’s because I’m Andrew McCarthy (takes out ID and places it on hood of car along with insurance information so they can work out the crash).
We then proceed to have a really interesting conversation about the various roles I’ve enjoyed him in, the one’s he enjoyed working on, Minnesota versus California drivers, what it’s like being formerly famous, etc. A really good down to earth guy…
In my dreams, at least.

Good night.

Hey fellow Microbloggers, @cygnoir is planning on hosting a Micro.blog Analog Tools Meetup. If you have any interest in such nerdy things consider being a part of it.
Add up your SaaS subscriptions last year. You should own that shit by now.
As disenchanted as I’ve been with the politics and privilege of its founders, I have to say my interest in what they are doing here has my interest.

Took Beatrix on her first official college tour today. This particular school is the one she’s wanted to go to for college since she was old enough to know what a college was.
The first of what I’m sure will be many tours to come. She’s only half way through her sophomore year.
This is the way.
