i think a life update for posterity is due: in early march i quit my job with apple of 2.5 years that started out fun but ended up making me more miserable than i’d ever been. it really is a cult. i quit in a very fun way (middle of the day, some theatrics, somewhat mean and very cathartic) and started a new job 3 couple days later.

i’m doing real IT stuff now and it’s a million times better. good coworkers, relaxing when i want it to be and challenging when i want it to be, and a cool environment – i get to do what i love (computers) while being around science all day.

i have some big plans for the summer: cottage trips, poker games, blowing stuff up in the woods, a music festival, and 2 weeks in sweden (i’ve never been overseas!). i’ve been dating a girl that is extremely cute and one of the most intelligent people i’ve ever met. i’m starting to become passable at fixing my bike and have been doing 20km+ rides every weekend. i’m sleeping more, drinking less, and cooking a lot. i got a nice new sound system and have been lying down and listening to albums all the way through. i’m really happy~~

i have a mental construct that involves breaking off and eating a small piece from each of the cheeses in my fridge every day or two to keep them from getting mold on them

i have 5 of em going right now, most of them are enjoyable to eat but the feta’s a bit of a chore

after months of feeling like garbage or nothing, i took a vacation where i only ate steak, grew a beard, and watched movies

now i’m walking to work in a mild snowstorm, listening to my favorite music, and i just watched a gust of wind knock a construction worker on his face

i rate my current happiness a 9 out of 10

i destroyed my arm (fractured/impacted olecranon) on august 17th

i went to the hospital on august 22nd

i had surgery (open reduction and internal fixation) on august 24th

and today, a month later, i have normal range of motion

from this we can deduce that i am superhuman

while i was walking home from work, an older lady asks me how to get to “david pecaut square”. it sounds familiar but i don’t know for sure so i look it up on my phone and tell her
king and simcoe, so three streets south and two streets west of here
“i doubt it”
what?
“i said, i doubt it”
(this makes me angry) OKAY, SEE YA! (i walk away)

are you JOKING? i stop to look something up for you when i could just keep walking and then you tell me YOU DOUBT IT? are you INSANE?
a bonus was that i got to storm away, i don’t really storm away ever

something i like: making foods into mock chemical names

“what do you want to get for lunch?”
“i was thinking about doing some 2,4-chlorobutylhamburgamine”

“hi welcome to the deli”
“hey can i get 500000 milligrams of n,n-dimethylsalamide”

this is probably not funny to any other human
