From "things i forgot about #perl because i haven't touched it for too long":
Scripts are compiled before the actual execution is happening.

That makes debugging silly mistakes like "the file you're looking at isn't where you think it is" a bit different from eg. python.

you don't have to try everything,
you don't have to experience all there is,
to have a beautiful life -

you do not need to be at peace,
you do not need to escape suffering,
to find deep goodness
in this moment -

all you need is a little cup
to bring water to the seeds of goodness
in this moment.

#Hands and veins seem to be a theme today. I think I have a teeny art project brewing.

Aside from the earlier blood-drawing adventure, my daughter is off ren-fairing in the east. She sent me a picture of her in costume(a wizard, btw) and I was struck by her hands. Long, spidery fingers and her prominent veins.

She's only/already 29. But her hands look like they belong on someone 20+ years older.

I've had an affinity for Egon Schiele's hands most of my adult life (Almost got kicked out of the Guggenheim one time for being a bit too enthralled by them...) and see a similarity in her hands in this pic. YMMV...

I'd like to do a photo shoot of both of our hands comparing & contrasting & comingled in various exaggerated postures & positions.

Something to amuse me a bit the next time we are together.

#SomeDays, life just isn't great. Things look bleak, the light is dim, and the options invisible. It's ok to feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Just remember, 1: tomorrow is a new day, hopefully a different and brighter one; 2: even the strongest of us need to sit and rest once in awhile; 3: we have more people rooting for us than we realize; 4: the light will be even sweeter upon return after the darkness; and 5: things look better after a good night's sleep. #NotesToMyself
