19 - let's go

feliz domingo baby

I continued to be sick for most of the week, but I felt better on Thursday and went to the club, but staying up late made me feel ill again. however I attended work on Friday to be in the weekly meeting, and to watch Die Hard with everyone. Die Hard was good again, though I felt a bit rough at first until I drank far too much tequila.

the club requires a lateral flow test to get in, but what that means in practical terms is that a girl texts your friend the code from the back of a lateral flow test and you register it on the government website as a negative.

here’s a picture gallery

I gave up on avoiding big tech and now have Instagram and WhatsApp and have installed the stock Pixel ROM on my phone and have a YouTube account where I’ve subscribed to Snow Tha Product’s video podcast and you know what? it’s really convenient lol. I think I’ll still avoid Amazon, but mostly I’ve given up.

This other thing that I’ve been dealing with has reached a conclusion that has given me a sense of calm and I am ready for anything now.

I have a sore ear and throat.

I got a /usr/games/catclock for the wall

OK. I’d better make my Sunday song, and then dinner. I hope you are having a good Christmas period. Feliz navidad, baby.

yeah, i’m giving up. it was a good experiment and it lasted quite a while, but it really just makes my life more inconvenient and doesn’t do much else other than occasionally spark a conversation i’m really just making myself feel better, but it does less active good than retweeting #freepalestine or cutting out red meat which both basically do nothing. i look forward to being able to ask my telephone to set a timer, being able to translate text, and to being invited to the parties that are only discussed on WhatsApp

thinking of giving up on being bigtech-free

muy sorprendido de aprender que es domingo

i’ve been sick all week
- that’s so common now
- swollen throat and an ear infection (the hole in my right ear means anything that happens in either spreads to the other)
Christmas celebrations were making me sad. distant anytime anyone asked me what i was doing.
- i don’t go back to the place I was born
- made Christmas dinner the last couple years
- don’t know what Christmas is meant to be alone in blackheath
  - but I do like Christmas
    - the idea of making the darkest and coldest days of the year the warmest and brightest
- if i think of it as navidad instead, that frees it from the tyranny of the past
- - i’ve got a poinsettia and I’m making pozole and i’ve invited some wood and tin animals to stay - i live in a taqueria and that’s my business
if anyone wants any Chamoy Liquid hit me up, I accidentally have about 1.4 litres of it (three 475ml bottles) and want around 0ml (zero 475ml bottles) of it
some dude on a train handed me a note on a folded up betting sheet as I was getting off at my stop
- I did not like it
- it said “I Really ❤️ Your Pink Hair. text me. I’m single and ready to mingle. ahaha X” and featured a phone number and a name
- I was wearing a beanie and sunglasses and a pink medical mask. literally none of my face was visible. they want to mingle with my hair? my large unappealing impractical body?
- I will simply never use the train again
- I am double and not looking for trouble
anyway, i hope you are well (I am not)
if I think of all the different meanings of the word “present” and try to hold them all at once I overheat
