Good morning. Hello. How are you? I am good. I overslept! By more than an hour! I ony have ten minutes to do this today. I don’t know why I insist on manually setting my alarm every night instead of, like, just programming the thing to automatically go off at the right time every day. It’s not like my routine changes, haha lol nope. If I were to psycholanalyze it, I would probably find some need for control in a life where I have so little control. Or something. But I don’t have time to psychoanalize it, because I overslept.
We watched more curling last night. It was very edge-of-your-seat. Good stuff. I do think it’s weird that you gotta play, like, nine games to make it into the semi-finals, and then once you’re in the semi-finals, there are only two games. I think all four teams in the semi-finals should all have to play each other. I know it would make things more complicated and there wouldn’t necessarily be a single match “for the gold” and the announcers couldn’t say things like “and it all comes down to this,” except they probably still could, it would just be kind of confusing. Like we were watching one team (no spoilers) and if they won their match, they would be in the semis, but if they lost, and a certain team playing in the match right next to them lost, they’d still go to the semis, and if that certain team won, this team would not. But the sportcasters still would have had their moment, because in the eighth end of the game we were watching, that other game ended, so by the end, you knew the stakes. Anyway, I think there should be more curling. Curling forever.
Also the women’s Japanese curling team was so, so cool in their all black outfits with Japan written in red on them. Except for that one woman’s weird little dwarf braid in the center of her head to just braid her bangs, that was really weird.
Also, in addition to all of the shouts curlers make, like “hard!” and “curl!” I think they should be required to yell “pew! pew!” every time two rocks smash together. Ideally, they’d make little laser-gun symbols with their hands while they’re doing it.
I got the second proof of the GMHHAY book yesterday, the larger-text gamble paid off, it looks much better. Emma has a small tweak to the cover, and I have one small tweak to the text, but we are ready to roll, so I will be placing the order for all the books today, so if you want a book quickly, and you don’t want to support evil amazon, buy the book today from your dear friend Rick! Or you can wait. The digital edition will go on sale from me and Amazon on March 1, and it will be cheaper. Because this book is a behemoth. It has high printing costs. So if you want it cheap, you can wait. That’s cool.
OMG I have no time, no time.
We got our new HVAC unit installed, it works just like the old HVAC, so there goes a nice, 5-figure sum of money with no discernable life improvement. Woo! Home Ownership!
I have a four-day weekend coming up and I’m gonna start gardening tomorrow and I am so very, very excited.
Okay. Wow. I gotta go. Sorry so brief. I’m sure youre crushed. Talk tomorrow! Byeeeeee.
Today’s mix is ANOTHER moody and quiet mix, which is kind of BS, I am sorry, I just posted one yesterday, but i have a bit of a backlog of them, and I have no time, and it takes FOREVER to get the mix prepped every morning, so we’re just gonna do this one. I did throw a couple of classic oldies in here, though, to mix things up from the wall of new stuff.
