New toy has arrived. Spent tonight rearranging the “smart” part of my home. 

Finished Russian Doll on Netflix and was delighted in how they took repeating everyday and gave it rules and made it interesting and fresh.

Excited for another season. 

This is how I will describe the Crackdown series to people unfamiliar with it.

I do the things that I’m designed to do: Punch dudes, shoot dudes, squash dudes, explode dudes, run dudes over in my car, throw dudes off high ledges. Each time an enemy dies, he renders up pretty, colorful bubbles that flutter pleasingly toward me. These are upgrade points that level up my various skills. So I become better at punching, shooting, and squashing at a rate that is comparable to the increasing menace of my opponents.

Installed accordian lights above the bed tonight. There has never been enough light for reading well. No longer!

Bedroom smoke detector decided 3:40 am was a good time to alert me it needed a new battery. 

Of course, I don’t have a spare so the next room over has no alarm for the night. Morning?

It’s 4am and I almost got 2 hours of sleep before this. 

Happy Birthday to me!

Made this pork ramen tonight. Super easy and so flavorful. Highly recommend! 

RIP MoviePass. We had a good run. I paid for you about a year ago through Costco for $99.

In that time I saw 60 movies. letterboxd.com/peroty/ta…

It was a good run.

Fascinating area of research at how to beat machines at tasks machines will eventually exceed humans at completing successfully.

If Millennials are supposedly lazy and entitled, how can they also be obsessed with killing it at their jobs?

This is where I want to be. So I am getting this setup.
