My Neighbor Totoro

My Neighbor Totoro. Is the hype justified? I’ll finally be able to answer this in a few hours.
P.S. I like that my keyboard apparently already knows how to spell Totoro.

Gmail understands me

I like that Gmail considered 8:00am Thursday as “tomorrow” even though it’s currently 2:50am Thursday. Gmail understands me.

Matt Nathanson's new album

Matt Nathanson’s new songs are good; I just can’t identify, so can’t really listen. If you’re hung up on your past and do not want to move forward, I recommend his latest album. Otherwise, there’s a world of happiness and other good music to have, including some of his wonderfully happy older songs.

Popcorn with lots of salted butter! As nature intended.

Hello computer glasses

Hello computer glasses! Nice to see [through] you again

15 June 2018 Friday

I fell in love with Naruto all over again, and have also found it easy to continue my love affair with Boruto (the name’s not awful once you know they named him for Neji, whose name apparently is “screw”; I don’t have an excuse yet for Salad — nor for Sasuke x Sakura while we’re on that).

I [finally] have a showerproof watch again and the world is a slightly better place.

Light bulbs

I am a big fan of past-Alicson who squirreled away these different kinds of very bright high quality light bulbs; was concerned for a moment I wouldn’t find a bulb that wasn’t daylight and dimmable (haven’t wanted one for yearsss) yet here it is! ::happy and in good bright lightness::

Sad Redbox

Problems with Redbox: 30-minute lock-out for password fails (do people really bother to come back in 30 min?) Contact is discouraged outside live call/chat hours; chat doesn’t seem to care about anything.

email game

I play the email game and my email wins 95% of the time. I don’t think it’s a strategy/tactic/approach thing—I have those— I think it’s a life and heart thing and it’s not in my genes to revolve around email.

I’ll keep playing on occasion and see what life lessons I continue to learn out of the whole experience.

*update four hours later: Ouch. That was a painful blow. Email is winning harder now.
