Well this doesn’t happen every day. Ink ran out mid-sentence. I had initially thought it was just a blockage or dry ball at the point. But alas… truly not sure wether to be sad or proud
A photo of a disassembled gel ink pen sitting on lined paper. The cartridge is empty of ink, having been written all the way down. Surprised me since I hadn’t think I had used this pen that much. But I guess I had. Normally I lose or involuntarily abandon pens long before they ever run out. This is momentous.

During my slow-moving audio journey, my Time Machine slowly rotated backwards and stoped momentarily. For my safety, I remained seated at all times.

Quite a grand and miraculous book
Screenshot of the the end of the audiobook version of “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” by Yuval Noah Harari. The point of the i in Sapiens is replaced by a human fingerprint.

GREETINGS PROGRAMS

/Mornings are for coffee and contemplation/

END OF LINE
Items sitting on an office desk. A hardcover notebook with a pen tucked through the strap sits in the foreground. A computer monitor with sticky notes and a glasses case in the back. In the middle ground is an oversize coffee mug from the movie TRON. On it are various 80s style graphics with the salutation “greetings programs”.

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door.

This is who it was:
A male Anna’s hummingbird at the door. So nosy! 🤣

As someone who’s spent a good portion of my adult life being bad at running but doing it anyway, I can say I’ve never once considered asking a computer to strap an “Edge of Tomorrow” style exoskeleton to my legs to make it easier and more enjoyable

Ok maybe once at mile 20 of a marathon…

This man simply does not appreciate the joy and wonder of being alive and being human.

I’m only being slightly hyperbolic when I say this man and this company are a threat to everything I love and hold dear in life.

My top 3 can't-miss movie cliches:

1. Characters have to hold the line in a last-stand so *something* can happen
2. Buddy cop action comedy (preferably written by Shane Black)
3. Enemies-to-friends who have to work together to win The Thing and develop a begrudging respect for each other

My top 3 can't-miss movie cliches:

1. Old man warns you this place is bad
2. Memorable second-in-command
3. Severe, attractive middle-aged woman is mean and fucked up

2. Crusty, sour older relative gifts super-meaningful heirloom to young protagonist
3. Dog to the rescue!

Balance is having caramel apple oatmeal for breakfast when you’re making orange Dijon roast pork with mashed potatoes for dinner
A bowl of oatmeal with milk and melted butter on top along with fried pink lady apples. A plate more at home on a holiday than a Sunday night. Roasted pork with an orange Dijon pan sauce, mashed potatoes, onions which were braised with the roast, and apple cider green beans fill the plate. It absolutely tasted as good as it looks.

I’m a firm believer in doing whatever makes you happy. And I’ll never yuck anyone’s yum. But when given a forced choice while dropping a buck or two in our local bakery’s dueling tip jars, I’m always choosing this option
A glass tip jar on a counter. The sign attached to it reads “have you started listening to Christmas music yet? No! It’s too early!” With the “NO!” capitalized and written in red ink. Tellingly, there’s a five dollar bill in the nearly full jar.

Nov 15th - Superhero Thunderhead (Tall, storm powers, nice man, good with kids) saved the day, but then his cape caught on a missile fin #NoCapes

📽️📅 The Incredibles (2004)
3 Screenshots from the movie "The Incredibles" (2004): First, a close-up of the character Edna Mode holding a sketchpad, confidently stating, "No capes!" Second, Edna, standing with assertive posture in a modern, glass-walled room, speaks to Mr. Incredible, emphasizing her point as she recalls, "November 15th of '58." Third, a flashback scene by the ocean where a superhero with a cape is seen caught on a missile fin, with an onlooker nearby, as the text describes his cape’s mishap: "when his cape snagged on a missile fin."

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.
A comic panel from Watchmen, showing a partially muscled skeleton (Dr Manhattan) screaming in pain in front of two horrified security guards. Text reads: “November 14th: a partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing…”

Naked-eye visible aurora tonight
Four images of aurora behind trees. Colors of red pink purple and ectoplasm green stretched across the sky. More colors arrayed in the sky behind houses and trees. Another view. Colors are fading but still vibrant and bright.

The only appreciable difference between pumpkin spice and chai is pepper and marketing
Classic meme of a gentleman standing up at a public meeting, expressing an opinion based on the painting by Norman Rockwell. Two boxes of tea sitting on the desk. One is rooibos chai and the other is pumpkin spice rooibos. If you remove the black tea component from Chai so that you’re just considering it as a compound flavor and actually read the ingredients, you find that most of them are the same as in pumpkin spice. While Cardamom is an ingredient that can be present in chai but not generally in pumpkin spice, mostly the difference is just in component ratio so that Chai comes off as spicier and pumpkin spice as warmer.

Fifty years after sinking, the Edmund Fitzgerald freighter remains the most famous shipwreck in the Great Lakes.

The mystery surrounding the Fitzgerald’s demise captured the public’s imagination, and the tragedy has been immortalized in song, books, and documentaries. 🧵⬇️

I remember watching this movie as a kid. The future (both literal and figurative) ahead of Sarah seemed so bleak and scary. I felt fear and dread on her behalf for the temporal freight train barreling down the tracks at her. With nothing to stop it.

Anyway, any news happen last night?

Nov 10th - Sarah Connor recorded a message for her unborn son, John Connor.

📽️📅 The Terminator (1984)
4 Screenshots from the movie "The Terminator" (1984): First, a desert landscape with sparse Joshua trees and open road under a clear sky, with the caption "Tape seven. November 10." Second, a red jeep driving down an empty desert road, as the voiceover says, "What's most difficult is deciding what to tell you and what not to." Third, a woman wearing a headband and sunglasses drives the jeep, holding a small tape recorder, saying, "But I guess I have a while before you’re old enough to understand." Fourth, the woman continues driving, recording her thoughts, adding, "They're more for me at this point, just so I can get it straight."

When you wish upon a Star… War
Picture of a television. The original muppet show is on the screen. It is a scene from the Pigs in Space segment with special guest stars Mark Hamill (in a tux playing Luke Skywalker’s cousin), Chewbacca, and Artoo & Threepio. Muppets Kermit, Dr. Strangepork, Gonzo (?) as the evil Dearth Nadir, and Miss Piggy as Princess Leia are in the foreground singing Disney songs because of course they are. In the background is a perfectly 70s era gothic space castle. Three properties that would eventually be owned by the same company. What a world.

An (overnight) Song of Ice and Fire
Very bright waning gibbous moon high in the night sky. There are contrails and other cloudy formations around the dark trees in the lower portion. Some stars peek out in the brightened sky. But the main feature is a beautiful halo around the moo. Caused by the moonlight being refracted through ice crystals in the high atmosphere. The size of the halo is always the same. Because physics. First clinging to grass and fallen leaves in a yard. My headlights glistened off this on my way to the gym this morning. It was 27°F. Pre-sunrise clouds behind a tree line. The sky is warm colors of red and orange and yellow. It nearly looks like and explosion. Closeup of the fire-like sunrise behind the trees.
