speaking of winter, will be arriving in the US as a permanent resident for the first time in aug/sept! will be relocating mid-2024 so this is a scouting trip to find a city to move to — taking bids/comments/suggestions for how to best use the time (and survive the heat)

started having to layer up an unprecedented amount on higher elevation hikes and attributed it to an especially brutal winter but nope, it’s just my TSH…what kinda brain worms do I have that I buy a thermal sleeping bag liner instead of just checking my thyroid levels

curious about the benign choices that interrupt my consciousness and force me to confront my perception of myself, e.g. in an outlandish act of self-parody, I have started bringing a shoehorn to the gym (useful if you change shoes 2/3 times during training!), and every time I use it I feel like a caricature of myself

i went bouldering for the first time in my life tonight and was having a great time up until an hour before close when the guy started playing ‘i’m so tired’ by fugazi, a song that is impossible to be strong to, followed by morrissey…it was legit like turning on the lights at the club, but aurally

when introducing single friends to one another i reckon you absolutely should not tell either of them anything about the other person other than "i think y’all should meet”; every time my friends tell me even one thing about the other person i immediately swipe left

it’s been three months since i left my job and for a while i was telling people “nothing interesting or important” when they asked me what i did at parties because the alternative was to admit i was writing a literary review of the bitcoin whitepaper and hiking a lot

the early 2000s hardware revival is an interesting but insufficient ally to my recent attempt to implement 'no screens 2h before bed, no phone in bedroom' because the most holistic solution is still my phone: audiobook/ebook (e.g. ereader with bluetooth) + video (e.g. ipod nano) + timer/alarm (e.g. an actual clock)

i’ve seen snow only one other time and this was my first time seeing it fall. it was very surreal, maybe confronting? as if i were experiencing live environmental collapse; it’s meant to be the green season https://i.imgur.com/uvoTYrp.jpg

six days back into lifting and i have somehow, impossibly, gotten back up to the same working weight i was at before i involuntarily took six weeks off lifting…it’s almost as if all my ‘programming’ is just my coach playing fucko mind games with his little neurodivergent protégé

we’ve had biblical rain in the city for two days straight, what i call ‘subaru weather’ — but dry on the coast, wind blowing inland https://i.imgur.com/gd6OGuP.jpg

the esoteric sign of the powerlifter! not the ubiquitous bag of sour patch kids, the three minute rest breaks (as fabled by TikTok), or the strange tendency to change shoes each lift — a far more mysterious thing
