I weariness from getting into work early the past few days (getting in about 7.30) makes me worried about if I had a real job in a real place, would I manage the starts? Surely its similar to what I’ve done the past few days. Although, maybe that job would be fulfilling. Hmm. And I wouldn’t feel like I had to do actual learning away from there instead of busy work. Hmm.
Despite the myriad advantages of virtual machines, my favourite is that I don’t have to install ugly programs on my mac. I’m looking at you non/command line Linux programs.

This will sound like a terrible sentiment, but after having listened to Twin Shadow’s new album, Forget, I can’t help but classify the sound as “what Grizzly Bear would sound like if they were an 80s new wave band.” A modern new wave band might sound troubling, but I use the term for lack of a better word. There is something strikingly retro about the album, but I can’t place exactly what that may be. Perhaps it’s the bass, which is prominent and striking and unique, the sort of thing that I remember and cherish most about the albums I own that were released during that time period.
Music is more conducive to productivity than watching TV shows is.
Goddamn people just about boxing me in my parking space by not parking in designated areas!
