the week has passed
2 minute read
I've been feeling very distracted all this week.
not buying anything is a good day shopping
Yesterday I walked into town to return some books and buy some sandals. I tried the sandals on, and they were okay, but they felt a little light and a little flimsy - for $115 a pop I decided not to invest. I also looked up the company and they're not great in regards to ethical production. I'm not super hung up on sustainable clothes, when I am I just get stressed out, but I think something is better than nothing and these didn't pass the bar. I feel better about buying some jandals when I'm in Bali, and I feel at peace with using the clothes I have.
Afterwards I went and had a beer with Luke, it was idyllic, though expensive.
horse amongst horses
I copied almost verbatum some text from the Paul Klee book for the return.horse comic yesterday, I'm happy with it. Sometimes it's just a way for me to synthesise ideas I'm reading, and by throwing in cowboy words I can generate some fun and unexpected stuff.
I did some more design work in figma for the site, it's slow going. I think I'm close to something I'm happy with. The first design was trying to be very brutalist, but I think I want to lean into stylising a little more.
writing this one late today
I went to the dentist this morning, got a couple of fillings. She recommended magnesium to help relax a little, as well as being mindful during the day to prevent jaw clenching.
I finished reading chapter one of The Art of Unix Programming and really enjoyed it, I will be reading the rest eagerly. I've learnt so much about programming by coming into it backwards and discovering what I need, which has taken me much longer than perhaps a more rigid approach, but I can't change that now.
what's that smell
I bought the VB perfume, it's inoffensive and mild, smells a little like kmart fragrance sticks. Will be a fun scent for Bali. I also sampled Dolce & Gabbana K EdT, and it's really interesting and growing on me. I went in to try The One but honestly wasn't that impressed, it was a little too warm. K EdT is light and vaguely floral, quite fresh at first then easing off as it dries down.
My guess for notes are, 2 hours after letting it dry down
- floral
- sweet
- citrus
- tiny bit herby
I really need to get a list of core notes to smell and practice with.
