i am loving this daily ritual of large pieces of wood.
this morning, i had a group call with my siblings again. while my sister and i were both on our respective subways (me: transbay, sister: boston), we don’t talk, so my brother DJed for us. he started with a song and asked us to guess it. we texted back that it sounded so so familiar and it moved on to a particularly catchy part and annie said “ah! mario!!” it was from super mario galaxy, the latest mario game! our brother continued to play us a bunch of happy, peppy tracks. it made me smile on the insanely crowded bart train (there was a delay this morning and it was extra packed).
i really like the galaxy soundtrack! it’s orchestral, whimsical, grand, and a little strange. it has lots of throwbacks but breaks new ground too. the game also makes fun of itself =) what should i use to link to media? i can’t remember! (youtube will not autoload, right?)
before using a youtube link, i would like to give myself the “callous or inattentive linker” not-badge for using a youtube link, but i forgot how. it might have looked like a four-leaf clover? i tried looking it up in my history but haven’t found it yet – it was in a comment @maiki left on one of my posts! do you remember what it was? ^^
I can be a bit tinder hearted and ive been wrestling with some emotionally unoptimal things lately; AND both me and my fiance have been sick the past couple of days. So all my productivity has been pretty sub optimal.
I did work remotely today though, mostly building customizations in our campus service management system for our telephone/networking team.
Today @susan and I walked Clover to school and then took shuttle-shuttle to IKEA for breakfast. Yep! And we ate where we could see the Golden Gate Bridge. Because Emeryville.
Then, we went back to IKEA, because they have $0.75 veggie dogs that come with mustard and beets and then I saw this cloud that looked like a teddy bear laying down:
