Fuck hands-free talking and walking. When I'm giggling to myself in public it's because I have a rich inner life, dammit

Also I wish I could draw. If one of you artists out there in the fediverse have any advice, let me know. Thanks.

"Also I wish I could draw" is my version of "Also, I want a pony"

There is something wrong with me that I just can't seem to learn Go.

I don't mean the language, I mean the game. I could almost certainly learn the language. But I'd like to learn the game. But I get all clammy playing competitive brainsports.

My self-evaluation loop, which by the way consumes 80% of my one core, constantly asks me if maybe I'm just not that bright. Super helpful.

I'm just going to say it. Little dogs have no dignity.

I've gone without coffee for two weeks. Now having a small strong cup from my stovetop bubbler is amazing. Gotta keep that up.

Everytime I try to paint a self portrait I just end up with a lame counterfeit of "The Scream"

People bitch all the time about Facebook but logging into LinkedIn is staring deep into the Abyss and knowing the Abyss is staring deep into you

If I keep visiting Achewood will Onstad start making comics again?

It's worked a couple of times so far, and sort of worked with Pictures for Sad Children.

Bought some gin. Sometimes I like to have a drink in my office after hours.

So I'm doing that, learning Django, listening to Soma FM. UNN--"For the People" playing. Never heard it before, but it's just my speed right now.

Also, I read about what3words.com earlier this evening on The Guardian. Interesting solution to a problem I hadn't given much thought to, but I like it a lot.

Going to a beer tasting at a local microbrew. Which is great but what I really want is a martini. Which is okay because they also distill their own gin

Why, when I only notice after I get home that my wife has texted me "When are you heading home" do I feel the need to reply?

Oh yeah! It's because I'm obnoxious.

I had honestly never thought of Americans as Trump's "people". Especially since he's apparently equating that with "subjects". https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jun/15/antsy-and-bored-trump-nearly-left-kim-summit-in-peril-report-says

One of life's simple pleasures is the anticipation of reading a good book.

If God is all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful, how does He let bad things happen, like when somebody waves at somebody behind you, and you wave back?

Because it's awful and I am in no rush to drink it

Presumably, by now my family realises how problematic it is to set out the chips and snacks before the guests arrive, when I am preparing food in the kitchen, so really I can't be held responsible and actually I am the victim here

Outcomes of the G7 Summit:

- $3.8B investment in "education for women and girls in crisis and conflict situations"
- agreement by 5 of 7 members to protect oceans (Japan, U.S. excluded)
- statement combating climate change (excluding the U.S.)
- pledge for unity and upholding the rule of order globally
- the U.S. leaving early and then tweeting insults at the host

Awesome

Unfortunate. Trump is leaving the G7 (G6+1) summit early, skipping sessions on climate change and oceans.
