Yesterday was good, I spent most of it learning to write the build program for this journal. I'm doing it in golang, it's been good. Anecdotally, I seem to be hitting less mistakes at run time because the text editor catches them early with strong types and all that.

I thought it would only take me 2 hours (classic underestimation) so it probably took me about 6 to 8 hours. I'd like to start using some kind of time tracker to find out for sure, as this information is useful professionally, for estimating projects.

I've got it working, next week I'll do some polishing

guts

I went into town and bought new notebooks for tracking my food and bowel movements. Instead of getting expensive moleskins, I bought a 5 pack of spiral bound little notebooks for $3.99. They're, obviously, lower quality than the moleskin, but I don't think I need the rolls royce of notebooks for my chews and poos log. I also bought a paint marker, so I can do some vandalism market regulation. I didn't steal it, so it's not real vandalism anyway :(

weaving

I'm reinvigorated on weaving after starting "On Weaving" by Anni Albers. I'm gonna make the heddles out of gum sticks I got from the park nearby, I'll whittle off the knobs and sand them down. Other ideas I've had include:

Hand weaving is included in the curriculum of many art schools and art departments of colleges and universities, as an art discipline able to convey understanding of the interaction between medium and process that results in form. - Anni Albers, On Weaving (emphasis my own)

que será el amor del sol?

I went to a poetry night last night, ended up reading my erasure poem infront of the group. I'm glad I did it, but to be honest I feel still extremely embarrased. This could be because I got home late, and didn't sleep too well, but still. I feel like I was too presumptious to come into a space like that, with my crappy spanish, and then read a crappy poem. Like I was being disrespectful or something. I was very nervous, even talking afterwards my spanish was crap. I'm running out of time, I'll fill in the poem here later. Hoping to shake the feeling throughout the day with an affirmation - "nobody cares (affirming, stress release, relax)".
