From the always odd and occasionally stressful Crisis Acting IG account.
More snow? More snow.
We got whacked with some more winter weather this week. Roads were a mess getting home last night, but at least our street looks peaceful.
Frosty
Yesterday’s snow turned into a great deal of ice overnight.
Limbs down all along the street, too.
Not awesome.
Annual Spider Game
I used to be a good ol’ season ticket holder to University of Richmond basketball. It was a great deal of fun, but I rotated out of it. I still try to get a game or two each season, but it sure is hard to watch. It’s not an exciting offense and the energy in the room is terrible.
Inked
Man, I’ve been messing with fountain pens for a little while now and this is the first time I’ve had the inky fingers this bad.
It’s going to take a week to wear off. Yuck.
My Vanishing Point was acting up and I tried to hot swap the cartridge without getting up from the desk or doing any of the prep a smart person would do when changing inks. I also got a good bit of ink on my desk pad. I don’t think I’ll replace it yet, though.
It’s a trash app
A three-song Discover Weekly? Really?
This app is junk.
Winter clouds
We’re due to get some more weather in the next couple of days. I’ve got apps and I pay attention to the local weatherman, but sometimes the sky will tell you.
Last night
The moon, and Saturn, and some dusky clouds.
Year Three
2025 is the third year for my 5 Year Midori diary.
If you’ve been reading this site for any amount of tine, you know that I go through bouts of regular posting and then long stretches of not posting. It’s not different in this paper diary, but I usually start the year with a promise to do better and then spend the middle of the year not writing here or there.
It’s a neat system and the long timeframe means it will be there for me when I get back to it. It is as cool as you’d think to open to a date and see what was on my mind in 2023. I forget so much.
New Sign
Was gifted this swanky (and tricky to photograph) On Air sign to use when I’m recording. It’s seriously bright.
