Big night at the go club. After months of mostly losing (picking and losing complicated fights vs stronger opponents) something finally clicked and I've started to win. Last night I beat at 3-dan with no gyakukomi and the staff jumped me up 4 kyu grades. Feels like rain after a drought.

according to linkedin i've been on a roll for like, months

Nice spot to accomplish some scribbling.

Heated up a prefab pizza as opposed to summoning one. That kind of day.

"McCarthy was starting to seem like a man whose talents and intelligence were without limits, yet he lived in a hoarder’s shambles and couldn’t stop buying nonstick skillets and fruit bowls." Finally got round to reading this. www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture...

I might be at my calmest in libraries and book stores. The zone-out is total.

Time to not hike in those hills for a while.

Fired up the humidifier, which freaked out the air purifier, triggering online research to the effect that ultrasonic and evaporative humidifiers emit mineral dust. Currently converting credit card points into a warm mist humidifier.

When it comes to your physical books, do you mark the text up, whether with pencil, pen or highlight? #books #PhysicalMedia #readers

Oh yes that's right, my knees are in their 40s ergo I can NEVER CROSS MY LEGS AGAIN. (I'd forgotten.)

Recent trip to the peninsula was great for many reasons and food was # 2. I learned that Korean sashimi involves leafy sandos and dipping sauce, and that Korean people get secretly disappointed if you don't cram the whole thing into your mouth with gusto.

Quick question for Kanto people who have traveled to the Philippines: Are there any clinics that you would especially recommend for travel shots/medicines?

The shadow scoreboard of bad calls is also a nail-biter

Final go calendar image for the year. Dude is going to the mattresses.

When you can remember what the kanji means but not how to read it.

He cleans his metal mask with gasoline, they after him last seen pullin' chicks like a fiend pull a fast one Can't put shit past him, got niwas on his own team mad enough to blast him Retarded in real life, on the mic Rain Man who stand close to his main man like a chain gang

The Oxford comma is like the flaps on an airplane. There are times when you can and should use it, but using it all the time would create unnecessary drag. *Hurriedly spray paints "AP" on the wall and disappears in a Foot Clan smoke bomb*

PLEASE DO NOT POUR OIL DOWN THE DRAIN.

Today's women's Honinbo match is already a skein inside a quagmire wrapped in thick slices of mystery. #囲碁 #go #weiqi #baduk #honinbo

I baked a hot take: The #BlueJays logo would look way more fire without the maple leaf, which looks like a sticker someone applied. People get it, we can leave the flag bit out.

This is like the idiot's version of Trudeau-the-elder's "I've been called worse things by better people." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is bad. Bad like when Obama authorized the offshore drone slaying of a U.S. citizen and his kin with no due process kind of bad. Come to think of it, Nixon and Kissinger bombing Cambodia wasn't much good either. It's almost as though this is a thing that American presidents do now and again.

I often post the air when it's bad, but it hasn't been bad since it was hot. Those super bad air days are a mystery to me. Traffic volume hasn't changed, so is it a function of the heat? Prevailing winds bringing junk over from the continent?

I learned how to build mics in my workshop class So give me this award and let's not make it the last.

I wonder if there are similar studies for Japan-made protein powders. Ill bodes...

My guesses for Black's sealed move 73 in the Meijin finals. There's a lot going on, and I could be waaay off. Excited to see what happens tomorrow.

Re-reading Ishiba's statement, I'm continually put in mind of Mizuki Shigeru's "Showa," which includes a history of the war and its aftermath on the personal and national levels. An extremely worthy read. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showa:_...

It was a clippership of a day on Motosuko. Won't be too long before the big cheese grows a snowcap!

I think it would be more polite if we changed YOLO to YOLOshiku onegaishimasu.

Tonight I'll join a pair go event. It's an odd experience, like playing bridge on acid. They pair weak and strong players and, depending on timing, one can make moves that would normally be unthinkable, akin to starting a bar fight and having a gorilla finish it for you. Anything goes! I am excited.

I have to share this wonderful old BBC short about a Scottish guy who takes boozy bike rides through the highlands and hides whiskey for himself along the way. youtu.be/cZk2jV5gJbM?...
