Books

i just started norwegian wood, my first murakami book, i have heard so much about it, let’s see how it goes!

a character who is not mentioned much but even with less words i feel an admiration for them. and then suddenly they die. i am feeling really sad. is this normal?

i guess people can just tell i’m not from NYC. i’m the only one waiting for the signals to turn green here lol

what a day! 
- made a rookie mistake in the code
- spent hours in debugging
- it was so lame that i kept focusing on what was actually important, hence not able to resolve the error
- finally figured out what was wrong
- learned a few things along the way
- feeling happy now

so much to do before I travel tomorrow - home, work, everything. channeling my inner superwoman and getting it all done.

also whoever said a blow dry can help you do anything wasn’t lying. feeling it today.

“never to touch a book by any author who had not been dead at least thirty years. “

i have heard this before but never met/know someone who follows this. 

anyone here live by this rule?

someone uploaded the first youtube video 20 years ago today and it was just about elephants and how big their trunk is.

maturity is realizing that there is no such thing as work-life balance

TIL mezcal comes with larvae and scorpios and it’s a marketing gimmick

llms are too agreeable (who likes a yes person, not me!). the way to get critical feedback from them is to trick them into thinking that you’re asking feedback on someone else’s work.

i searched for the bvlgari serpenti watch once and now it’s showing everywhere!! damn you targeted ads

does anyone else ever pick up a book they’ve already read just to revisit a certain section and relive the moment?

i do that sometimes with non-fiction, mostly to remember something i learned. i haven’t done it yet with fiction.

after a very sunny and warm week in seattle, we are back to gloomy. mostly going to spend time building today. i might touch grass latter if i feel like it.
