So I had the catalytic converter stolen out of my Prius last week. I had been thinking, "You know, I should get one of those protector things for it..." but I guess they beat me to it.
Also: we're getting the band back together at CHIHUSIMEET II? This summer???

Lease starts July 1st, we're going up then to plan things out, then coming back a few days later with the truck full of junk. ahhhhh. So much to do.
Putting a car on a trailer is annoying but it's more practical for our situation, though it's only a 4 hour drive.

flipping a bit
I really should have done it sooner, but I'm blaming the pandemic and some other issues for delaying me. But on Friday, finally defended my dissertation and passed. So I flipped that bit.

I got a new big desk! It's big enough for both my personal/actual working computer setup and my lecturing/drawing tablet setup to be side-by-side. With a little spot for a chessboard between them. I need a platform thing for the drawing tablet, though.

argh so close
i tied the course record for this one steep hill on Strava after a while of trying. it's a pretty short one, like, 42ft of elevation gain in less than a block and the record is like 17s. the other day I went up in like 19 and realized I had a shot if I got a running start. the thing is, because it's so short, it's not immediately clear what the beginning or end of the segment is, and this also means the granularity of the record keeping is not so good. it's also kind of directly perpendicular to a main road so you can't get much of a straight running start unless there's no traffic. anyway, drat, I only tied it rather than getting king of the mountain here.

I'd rather have "comedy" than "funny stuff"
because it's really a broader term. though I don't believe in happy endings, so most funny stuff to me isn't a comedy.
