percieve the present

2 minute read

Can't remember the last time I wrote here! But I need one thing right now and that is to focus a little. I'm planning to use this entry to do so.

thoughts

• I need to keep track of projects
  • in general - picked up, put down, complete
  • at a granular level - todo lists, lists until completion
• I want to improve my documentation of projects, capturing the concepts and the inbetween stages.
• I feel like I've lost track of my day-to-day a bit.
• I've stopped picking up new projects, I think I've stopped finishing ones I already picked up?
• Need some deadlines.

other stuff

I've written a short review of my trip to Denmark, but I'm not publishing it yet. I want to go over it, spend a little more time thinking hard about it. I also want to interrogate the art experience a little more. It wasn't what I set out to do, but it ended up being a serious and affecting part of the trip. Why?

We finished the philosophy book with the reading club. Here's a quote, out of context:

“as proof or evidence of their agreement with our bodily organs that do not perceive the present without imposing on it a conformity with the past.” - What Is Philosophy? by Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari

On to the next one now, Three Ecologies by Félix Guattari.

I finished my filet crochet tapestry - the word "ASS" and a slanted neutral face. I bought some brown yarn to try a bicoloured tapestry.

I've been using my mesh bag a lot.

I've installed "hardtime", a nvim plugin to enforce (mostly) better navigation within nvim. I'm much more comfortable with messing around with my build. I've also installed COQ for autocompletion, Conjure for in file lisp-like REPL, lualine for a fancier statusline, and Nvim tree for file navigation (though I don't use it much).

I flip flopped on going out for dinner, eventually decided to stay in and cook the rest of the bifanas I had - thin slices of pork from the ham shank. I fried them in the pan, and made two little sandwhiches with an apple and cucumber salad, some sheep milk cheese, and a pan sauce made with butter, water and the fond from the pork.

The sheep milk cheese is interesting - liquid in the center of the wheel, firmer towards the edge. Strong flavour, melts really well.
