Guitar Man

Saw a large venue concert for the first time in three years. I love seeing the artists in action - the electricity of being right there in the moment. But crowds make me very nervous especially if they include burly drunk dudes.

Today's Haiku

Black hatted blues man
shredding out his soul onstage
lights plot his sorrow

Pimple SMASH!

Nose bridge pustule
angry where my glasses rest
adjusting's awful

Pills and Loud People

A little tired today. Obnoxious downstairs neighbor is a gamer and has his computer in his bedroom, right under ours. He played all night on his headset speaking loudly. We deduced all this information from his borderline shouting. Things like "Open the door man!" and "Come on and die already!"

I can sympathize with the last statement.

Today's Haiku

Troubled history
parsing it out pill by pill
false panaceas

Boardroom Gauntlet

The interview went very well. I feel confident but exhausted in the aftermath. Tomorrow will be a day to recoup and reflect.

Today's Haiku

Across the table
I peel off the sum of me
in whole shreds of flesh

The Expanse

I have a second interview for a position at an Arts Advocacy non-profit based in DC. I'm excited and nervous and all the things you're supposed to be which is honestly a good thing for me. But most importantly I feel confident about it. I'll give an update tomorrow as to how it went.

Today's Haiku

Rich sci-fi jargon
world building at its finest
though hard to follow

Knee Freeze

Got a bit of a knee thing going on here. Probably should not have pushed the 15 miles this weekend.

Today's Haiku

My creaky old knee
gotta keep this sucker straight
or trouble's coming
