As Far As I Can Tell

The Boss is My Medicine

I slept in really late and have felt like going back to bed all day. I feel terrible, and I suppose that eating something would help, but I’m not hungry. Currently my medicine is Bruce Springsteen’s The River; I think it’s working.

I fixed my moped, so at least I’ve accomplished something today. It turned out that the air hole in the gas cap was blocked. I cleaned the carb twice before I realized that. My moped is on the constant verge of breaking down. Multiple vital screws are nearly stripped and barely holding on.

Yesterday I went to Sturgis and made some screens that I’ll be printing with sometime this week. I’m working on two shirts: Moped BBQ9 and one for 1977 Mopeds. Two of the three screens turned out fine, the third is screwed. I think I put the emulsion on too thick and it didn’t fully dry before I exposed it. That means I have to go through the whole process again before printing.

It’s very convenient to do it at my Grandpa’s shop though. He has a power washer and anything else I could want. I even cut pieces of foam to the exact window sizes to block out the light.

I don’t have an extra one right now, but I bet I can get one. I’ll look into it and send it off as soon as I get it.

After so many years of being cynical, I'm surprised by how moved I was while watching Obama's speech. This is it, our chance for change.

Haircuts are one of the few times when I'm forced to just sit still and relax.

Evernote is the perfect "clip queue." Really amazing.

I love my headphones. The sound is so spatially separated that just now I swore I heard a noise downstairs while listening to Diplo.

Working on a conference abstract, so far it's a little obtuse.
