On that less is more thing

If there’s one field where it’s not true at all, it’s sex. Or maybe more broadly, physical activity.

Less sex doesn’t make it better. Less running doesn’t make it more enjoyable the next time. Quite the opposite, actually.

The more physical activity is a routine, the better you are at it, the better you feel.

I enjoy that in a few ways and it’s lo-vely.

Le 4th and 14th

Dear future and rest of the world,

Yup. Far-right breathing down my neck in both of my countries. Both celebrating their independence ten days apart, giving a contemplative “how the hell did we end up here?” and “weren’t we fighting fascism a generation and some change ago?”.

My take is that we never really separated the state and the church fully in the western world, and that it’s backfiring like fires in California after someone thought it would be a good idea to light up fireworks in a dry ass forest.

I voted and am doing my part to make the world an EDI/DEI world you know, smoothing out the edges. Polishing the roughness. But man, it’s a lot of effort.

‘rona 2024

My parents were giggling. “Yeah, there’s a COVID surge here, we have a new variant, they talk about it in the news.” I tell them.

“Oh right, the pandemic! We’re not worry about it.” That was the message three weeks ago.

Last weekend: “I was out this week, for three days I was really sick and then I was not well for the rest of the week . COVID I think.” my mom said.

I’m so sick of this inept behavior, goddamn.

Nolectronics

You see this door/wall? It weights 6 tons. It’s moving through a combination of manual hand-crank, good old pulley and gears. A child can open and close it.

Not that I’m thinking about something that big in HHH, but I really want the least possible amount of electronics managing my house. No central computer. No “smart” lamps. No internet access for the fridge.

Electric stuff at best. When they fail, you change a breaker and you’re good to go for the next 15 years. I want lots of manual things so that I move my ass because that’s what the body is for: to fucking move.

I don’t see anything good about electronics in the house outside of headaches. I read them online and it’s so crazy. “my lamp needed to upgrade its firmware, but my phone died so I had to charge it before turning the lights on with the lamp app”. CRAZY.

A house needs to just run. Flip a switch, boom. Raise your arm to get the curtains to move, bam. No apps, no updates, no hacking, no headaches.

Now electric radiant floor heating, low e double pane glass, computer optimized airflow and house orientation, yes, 100%. That’s where technology shines.

Dijonai 3

Look, this is DiJonai’s stats from 3 this season. Lots of zeros.

This is DiJonai’s stats from the 3-point line this season after my post on June 19th, praising her all the way but talking crazy about her 3-point shot skills (she can’t shoot from there, real clown girl shit). I’m sorry, baby. I am the clown:

She since then shot 50% twice, including a rather high volume one (3/6) AND score a 44.4% one with high volume (4/9), securing the win for her team in OT, which was down most of the game.

DiJonai if you read this, please leave a comment and let’s get tacos next time you’re in L.A.

If it’s you Simulation, well that was fun.

Sometimes I want to tell my supervisor

“On God”

And it would be hilarious considering the start of our conversations.

Maybe one day.

Two women in my life

One is older than me, the other is younger.

One is Mexican, one is Japanese.

They both call me HALOLD and I can’t stop smiling at how cute it sounds.

DiJonai

This woman is a beast.

She was great last year but she’s totally killing it this season. Super impactful, she’ll track your ass on defense like a remora on a shark. She has three lungs so you’ll be in constant pain trying to lose her.

She’ll go for the block. She’ll go for the steal. She’ll slash through. She’ll assist. Her 3-point shot is not great but fuck a 3-point shot, basketball is not just that.

She is so fluid on the floor. Talk about floating above the deck. She moves like the wind and her instincts are sharp.

It’s DiJonai Carrington, and she’s amazing. Keep going, sis.
