An Addlepated Mind

It is so frustrating to me that someone at one point was like “let’s take this book from 1728 and cut the text block into a perfect rectangle so it can be bound into a hardcover and put on a shelf”.

Bro, you cut off the title page and the text runs so close to the gutter it’ll now be a pain in the ass - if not impossible - to fully digitize.

There’s something unsettling about driving home a way you don’t usually go because you need to pick up your medication, then deciding to avoid the highway because traffic and it’s nice outside so I’ll drive the side road with my windows down, then thinking “oh the pet store is right there. Do I need to stop for anything?” Usually the answer is “yes, the cats/dog need this thing so I’ll run in and grab it”. But for once, the answer was “no” so I continued driving and then got stuck at the intersection light and watched as three cop cars fucking booking it in the opposite direction (which is rare because the cops around here famously book it to nothing) and as I’m pulling into my apartment complex an ambulance blaring its horn with unusual urgency goes flying past.

Come to find out, two people - one with a gun, one with a knife - were at the previous intersection/in the pet store parking lot and someone died and the other was severely injured.

So…I guess I’m glad I didn’t witness a fucking homicide yesterday.

Why is this the only photo I have of the 2017 total eclipse?? What was 2017 me thinking?? Also totally forgot how much of a potato my phone camera was until I finally upgraded…

It’s supposed to be overcast and raining on Monday and I am SO. BUMMED.
