Solstice time

Solstice Salutations.

Bused down to West Seattle Saturday, reading Kuhn's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions . Interesting so far - mulling over it. Picked up a few fantasy books down there from a variety of shops, had sushi, rolled back home, reading truly lame sf book on the way back.

A big thought process rolling through my head is that I want to carefully refine my thoughts. I havn't really done this much since I was in my early 20s (then, I was largely concerned with finishing the constructing of an independant self), and I can feel the creakyness of my mental models here and there. Of course, I might have a long-standing existential crisis since, oh, 2005 or so - I remember chatting with foxfirefey about it then. So it goes. In any case, I want to be delving into theology, politics, general essays, etc; doing longer-form writing about these topics and posting them. I need to get better at writing to boot.

Or, you know, being a total bore and navel gazing. Both interpretations are probably true.

introvertastic vacation.

At home, sun shining through the window, by my computer. Don't want to go Out, and certainly not With Someone.

Things are quiet and predictableish today. I can focus on the writing I am doing, the software I am prodding, and thoughts I need to be thinking. I really value this kind of time. Silence and quiet is incredibly valuable. I don't get it at work, and I rarely get it at home unless I aggressively protect my time (not actually the right thing to do when married. :-o ). (Related: probably why I love being up late so much).

Later I will be taking a walk with the lady.


I think I'll take on dinner tonight - the options will be Something With Chicken, Something With Noodles, and Something With Rice.
