Center of Gravity

this just in

• Recentering myself around things that actually matter; persistent things; real things
• Semester’s almost over and I feel a lightness in my chest that I haven’t felt in months
• Magic the Gathering is back on the menu

what’s on

• Lots of movies this week! Of note was Submarine which presented one of the most realistic yet fair depictions of what it’s like to be a boy.
• Rereading old favorite A Visit From the Goon Squad and I’m trying out annotations. Or at least highlighting. Having a lot of fun with that
• Olympus (Blondshell)

lessons

• Friendships take a long time
• Proximity is not intimacy

the pull – Wheel of Fortune

The wheel turns and it’s time for change. Entropy defeats all systems, you can’t prepare for upheaval so just ride the wave.

what’s next

• Shrimp fried rice
• White wine
• Shuffling the deck
• Shared interests
• Controlled demolition
• Affirmations
• Quality sleep
