has the world changed or have i changed?

weak 35; 2022

for cat’s sake get big-hearted and smart, lazy legs
took a little damage to my pride this morning
spent the week working on the app and making music
not so long ago in this very publication i learnt the lesson that it’s always better to go out than to stay in if there is an option. this week i learned the new lesson that going out for the sake of going out does not count as “an option”
computer programming is not an engineering discipline. if engineers worked the way computer programmer work everybody in the world would be dead. computer programming is arts and crafts (that’s a compliment)
on thursday night i couldn’t sleep at all, but on friday i worked, on friday night i went and haunted peckham like a ghost then headed to fox & firkin to check if they had plug sockets next to the table. ended up making friends with some nice people sitting at a table next to me and then at one point i was in a graveyard and then at their house and then i walked home
my playdate arrived! the little nanoloop clone i made on the aeroplane in april works!
on saturday evening sofia and i watched the 1943 movie Scarlet Street and then i slept
today i’m making some music, drinking some water, making some coffee, drinking some coffee

i wonder how different the world would look if 1 in 100 people didn’t need to pee

can you believe it’s alrightedly Snuday?

*already

don’t think i mentioned last week that Morelia smells like seaweed. it’s nowhere near the sea. what’s going on? do lagoons smell like seaweed? did i talk about taking a boat to the island of janitzio or the man who looked like he was here to fix your computer turning up and singing from the belly so loud with opera vibrato? don’t let me get away with not posting about last weekend and last last weekend with photies.

el tigre Tonio says something like “you will make a tiger of yourself” which is very different from tony’s “great”

anyway, you heard about how i missed my flight. we had one last lunch and i walked home through so much CDMX. walked past the gas station i peed and waved through the window in April, the park where we collected the cute stickers in May, the hamburger stand a whole street of electronics and music and lighting shops, el baño cerca Zocalo, the first hotel (CASTROPOL) i stayed at on my first trip (there i caught a taxi to the aeropuerto).

the week has been poor sleep and working and working on my mac app (which is going very well! i just added media backlinks to annotations yesterday evening). i seem to be a little ill now? i can’t tell if i’m ill or if it is hayfever caused by the beautiful lillies becky left in my apartment when she moved out. if i’m ill it means i’ve been getting ill every 2 weeks for 8 weeks now, which is possibly grounds for concern. eh. i’ll die when i’m dead.

today i’m drinking tequila out of a cucumber and writing more code for my app. mostly debugging right now, couple of race conditions related to folders. first one appears to be a SwiftUI bug where there’s a fatal crash if you remove the last disclosuregroup from a list.

otherwise i’m also making a lil music and migrating my blog to a new server, leaving everything else to fade away.

p.s. it will be temporarily impossible to finger for content during the move

is it universal to gesture across the sagittal plane?

when you are saying “we both”

feel like i’m losing my mind
booked a hotel room because the man at the desk told me at 5am i could check in at 10am
at 10 i went back to the desk. he was gone and everybody else acted like that didn’t happen and there has never been a check-in before 3pm
i explained hablé con un hombre a las cinco and that el hombre told me i could come back at 10. they said “oh, ok sir please take a seat sir, i’ll speak with the cleaning staff sir” and i went and took a seat for an hour and nobody spoke to me and when i looked at them they looked away
so eventually i got up and walked back to the desk and the guy who told me to take a seat while he spoke to the cleaning staff an hour earlier said “¡buenos días!” like we’d never met?
and then i told the people at the desk the exact same story again and they acted like the previous conversation had never happened? and they said “ok but we will charge you 700 pesos for an early check in” ??? and gave me the key card
they said “your room is on the third floor on the right” but the third floor elevator leads to a corridor containing a locked door?
so i took the stairs but the stairs between the 2nd and 3rd floor were blocked off?
so i walked all the way around the building and found another set of stairs marked prohibido and i went up those and took a left and there was my room
nitpick: the room isn’t the one i ordered because i asked for a king and this has two queens but whatever
also while i was waiting between 5 and 10 i had a nap on their sofa and now i don’t even really need the room but whatever
the wifi password is wifi

week 33; 2022

i can’t believe how short a post this is going to be for how big a week it was, but it’s so late and i can’t do a whole post.

the week i spent mostly working and building a mac notebook app. swift is great fun to write.

the weekend we went to michoacán with her family who i love. we went back to her auntie’s house after we all met for dinner after sofia and i went to janitzio and climbed to the very top of the island. it was beautiful. i will put pics of these trips another time.

i just missed my flight home for the second time this year. this time i was standing at the gate and watched them close it; there were still another twenty minutes before it was scheduled; as a matter of apology a man in a red vest told another staff member to give me a free flight for tomorrow.

i will not be in the office Tuesday as planned. because i will be in México.
