Yesterday at work something very weird happened. During our lunch break, the conversation focused on me, at least for a couple minutes. My group sat next to another coworker, she’s older in age than most of my group, from another generation that would often work more than the others unprompted and at the same time...
Since JanerationX started a new blog on Pika a couple months ago, I have been enamoured by it. She is not afraid to express her thoughts and is refreshing to see. I’ve been meaning to add her to my blogroll because of how cool she is, and I have wanted to comment on some of the posts, such as the one on the human...
Josh, a fellow member of the TWG server, wrote an awesome piece about the form factor of the devices and stuff he carries and how that affects the way he uses them! Since we are celebrating July Reply, this post seemed like the perfect way for me to reply to!. In a way, what the premise boils down to is what...
Yesterday after work I got in the bus back home and proceeded to happily play on my Nintendo 3DS for the whole trip. I was about to finish a stage of Fire Emblem Awakening, leveling up a lot of characters, dodging attacks and surviving hits, all nice and well! Then the ride was over, I noticed I was the last person...
Mexico was knocked out of the World Cup by England. You have no idea how much hope I had for this squad, the quality and resiliance Mexico had shown. Unfortunately we were unable to take advantage of the locality and it only took a couple of mistakes for England to put us in a very bad situation, two goals in just a...
Probably not. I bought one anyway. Figured I’d write some of my memories surrounding it growing up, as well as how I set-up my own. Some memories The Nintendo 3DS was one of those consoles that I mostly admired from a distance. There are a few moments in time, sparsed throughout my youth where I interacted with one,...
June is over! Did you know this month was my birthday? Yeah it’s kinda crazy, a lot has changed, I am twenty six now yet more than half the movies I watched were Direct-to-DVD 50 minute films made to sell action figures! More things happened of course. The World Cup is going great for my country, Mexico has managed...
I usually take pictures to remember what happens during the week. This was not the case for this one, so the notes themselves may not be as long as some of you may expect! Still, a lot of things happened. This second paragraph is being written right after I was done with everything here, turned out to be just as...
I have no idea what I’m going to say here and I don’t want to sound like I’m out of touch (but I really am out of touch so forgive me). So there’s this girl I invited to watch a movie, and I do kind of like her, and I do know that my parents are already okay with it (which isn’t a must but it’s appreciated because I...
I realized I didn’t provide a cycling update on my previous weeknotes, so I decided to write some more about my misadventures so far. I am yet to buy fenders and a rack, so I am yet to try commuting to work properly. Even so, I continue riding like so, as I don’t mind getting my back splashed that much during a...
It’s weird when this happens but some months are just full of things that feel like tasks rather than something I wanted to do. All of June has been full of nothing but talking about things that happened, physical objects, events, notes, reviews, and rather tangible shenanigans, other than my bike rides, those are...
The eight book of The Expanse by James S.A. Corey. Spoilers ahead. I’ve recently realized that I kind of spend too much time summarizing things without spoilers, but I’ll just share the summary from the website and then share my thoughts about stuff, I guess? By now, eight books later, you are not, or you should...
