8.374. Reflections on a Second Day

My legs are sore. I didn’t sleep well. I’m happy as hell.

This trip to the beach is the best I’ve had in ages. The weather is wonderful, and the ocean is very far from shore–much more so than normal, leading me to wade through the waves at the shore and enjoy the water a lot more than I have in the past. I’ve largely detached from the world back home and sunken into the culture and lifestyle here. I haven’t managed to get work done at all, but that is still to come. One of the things I need to get done is switching grad school classes. I ended up in a FLX class, which is not a format that I can work with. Basically, it works like a synchronous online class… in a different timezone… on a day I simply cannot regularly be there. So, that is a hot mess. The classes start next week and I need to figure it out before then. Cannot be behind on this stuff.

That is a problem for tomorrow’s Talislegger, as is the work that needs doing. I’m beaching it today.

Some Thoughts:

  1. Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Live Nation employee mocks customers as ‘so stupid’ in internal messages released in court case” Who’s stupid now, Bob?! Seriously, how does it make one stupid when the only option to get tickets is through these mediums and they drive the prices all the way up? Once again, Japan wins culture. They’ve beaten Ticketmaster out of the market with groups like eplus who offer legit prices.
  2. Struggling with blurry vision, but that is likely due to spending too much time on my phone. Still, an eye doctor is in order. I missed the free opportunity at school.
