Chillin' in Peet's. Booting Linux. Making copies. Excellent company @celesteh Pretty good day!

According to the CPAP machine, I slept nine hours last night. But I feel like I slept four 😴

I purposely went to bed really early, but the 6:30am school morning wake-up is contrary to my circadian rhythms.

Damn you, morning people, for dictating the rules of society!

The school year begins tomorrow. It's way too soon.

The alarm will be set for 6:30 am. 😭 😭 😭

I also realized my profile pic has a fedora and beard, both of which I don't wear anymore.

Though I'd like to wear the fedora again. Are assholes still wearing fedoras to virtue signal?

I just want to look like James Stewart.

My nym on Mastodon doesn't have any non-English characters. I'm gonna munge it for a day.

I texted my wife the other day with "Ack" and she thought I was sick. I explained what it meant, and then she thought I was crazy. Out of curiosity, what does "Ack" mean to you?
