“the new Thoreau”

Massive pit of ennui this evening in hotel. I would like to go home now merci beaucoup!

Good

Something so humiliating about having to stay in a hotel for a business trip all week a mere 40 miles from your home where you pay rent

Staying at this shithole again

Successfully found some bottles of the elusive Presidente at the corner store in St Thomas

Tweet from Megan McArdle: Chicago is a great city in a bad location with a completely untenable fiscal structure. I'd write a column about it if I could figure out anything to say except "Boy, I don't see how this ends well."

*thinking about one of the most important trade routes of North America, even stretching back through prehistory, built entirely on a network of abundant waterways, helping create the 20th century’s middle class miracle* bad location imo

Genuinely good, clean day today (despite headache). Napped in the yard all afternoon, kayaked for the equinox sunset to see the sun set due west, ate some nice soup with local Caribbean ingredients that friends and neighbors grew. Life is good. I need more real weekends

This is one of those Saturdays where you’re just like “thank god it’s Saturday” all day long

Cold dark months? I don’t know of these. Looking forward to going to the beach this Christmas though my brother. Perhaps there will be a light afternoon rain shower and a rainbow,

Anybody else just spend an evening thinking about Eridu in the 5th millennium

A location tracking history spanning the island of St. Croix in the Caribbean

Anybody else use Fog of World? Post your hometown

I love that you love this but lmao the first day like this in the states used to always give me the deepest most indescribable depression. Contemplating mortality didn’t even begin to cover it

Run

Feels good to not go onto Twitter lmao

3D printed watershed map came today. Neato

Oh I forgot one:

—Molchat Doma: man I wish I smoked cigarettes

Driving home at night after working late music:

—Johnny cash etc: I worked hard in the field and smell bad
—Cumbia or reggae: neutral
—cigarettes after sex, vampire weekend, etc: wow I’m very single my life sucks
—medieval lute type music: kinda losing touch with reality
—Philip glass: I’m god now

Yes

Thank you lol I’m never gonna stay here if I can’t get a strong scroll going

Marge who are some people I should follow on here my feed is too short

And my answer to that btw is a cheez whiz and spam sandwich at which wich

Lmao seamless transition. Saw your tweet over there, immediately opened this, and saw your post here. Sick

Thinking about how I got drunk in town with some friends a few weeks ago and somehow on the way home they gifted me 5 gallons of gas in a gas can??? Idk I still have it. Guess I’ll put it in the truck today. They drove so idk why they bought me gas

I’m just kind of floating between both lol

Still vaguely sick. To be fair it happens literally every time I make out with strangers so idk what I expected

You ever just read a word in the French language and start fucking laughing? I’ve been speaking French for 20 years btw

Having basically never changed my appearance in my life, after growing a mustache it has been fascinating to see how many months after the fact people still act like they’ve never seen it before

Love crushing head aches

They should make an open world world
