Today: It’s 39º outside and the high is only supposed to hit maybe 50º today. By the weekend and into next week we could be pushing into the 70s, only to probably drop with another cold spell or two. Increasingly by body rebels against the temperature swings you find in Oklahoma during ever season but summer, when the body rebels against the obnoxious omnipresent heat.

Status: I write all of these as daily notes in Obsidian. I click on the calendar and it creates a note for the day, filed away in a cascading folder system. It’s a wonderfully simple system and part of my resolution to more fully explore and utilize Obsidian and the other tools I’ve settled on. Except the calendar is presenting me with entries for later this month that go back to January, so not sure how long this reminds a blissfully peaceful system.

Reading: How Food Delivery is Reshaping Mealtime - I’m not going to begrudge anyone who chooses to use any of the delivery apps, each person has their own reasons and if you’re willing to deal with the added cost, hassle, and exploitation of workers, then I guess have at it.

Last Watched: Hairspray, the 2005 musical version, not the original John Waters movie. Musicials aren’t my thing overall, but it’s an infectious movie that really did a good job overall.

Listening:

After Hairspray I immediately had to come home and watch the Christopher Walken dance in Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice” music video. This came out at the perfect time when MTV not only still played music videos but I was watching them. This, more than any other music video, is the first image and sound that pops into my head when you say music video.
