Life of Bryan

I’m a glutton for punishment. I put together a Wordpress site focused on my blog posts vs microblogging posts. I used the Shoreditch theme with font inspiration from Atilla on Ghost. Thinking about starting there for long-form posts and here on Micro.blog for short-form posts.

I don’t care what someone’s politics are, making negative comments about their body is so cringe.

Just realized that yesterday morning I clipped the fingernails on my left hand and then didn’t finish the job on the right.

One of the coolest things about learning Italian is seeing all the Latin rooted words and how they’ve influenced English words and their cognates or synonyms.

For example, the Italian word for “window” is “finestra”. From there, it’s not a big leap to “fenestration”. They’re all over the place.

Difficult to think about gardening too much given the weather lately, but we’re really only a few weeks out from seeding indoors. So, I put in my order last night through Territorial Seed Co. Picked up a few varieties I’ve never planted. I also have to start thinking about moving my beds.

“Hey Siri, how might Michael Foucault approach the term “urbanist” as a discursive object?”

Given the development patterns that emerged in the U.S. after G.I.’s returned home from WWII flush with cash, I often ask myself: did we really win?

Shout out to all your coworkers who are wrangling little kids and still working remotely during these storms. They’re barely hanging on but still keeping your shit running.

Also shout out to libraries. Today’s work is sponsored by Spider-Man books and Scooby-Doo DVDs.

A coating of ice on everything. I’ll be staying here today, if anyone needs me. #pdx

On some of these dark and cooped up winter nights, I have too much time with my thoughts and memories. Tonight I was feeling nostalgic for the places I used to live, even though I know I’m better off with where I’m at now. Still, the present can feel so suffocating at times.

Signed up for a 3-week language class at PCC and the first two classes are cancelled due to weather.

I’ve been trying to figure out a way include my kids' grandparents in my POSSE adventures since I will never pry Facebook from their hands. Every time I leave the site, I invariably get complaints about them wanting updates. This is pretty much the only reason I wish Threads would federate.

Word of caution: if you show up at my house unannounced on a holiday weekend, you may find me still in my underwear before 10.
