Completely lost track of time, sorry. August 11th 2024. Woke up early around 8:15, got ready, shaved, finished around 9:05. Went out with parents and Seth to Starbucks and then Paris Baguette to get some Sunday breakfast. I just got a regular small coffee -- new coffee machine behind the barista, made some small talk about the Clover branding, turns out it's not really an automatic immersion and more of a superautomatic drip. Still cool though. At Paris Baguette I had a rotisserie chicken and bacon and lettuce sandwich, whereas my brother got a pastrami sandwich (I've had it before, it was good), and a pain au chocolat. I brought my camera and 35-105mm. Battery grip was a major help but holy crap did I worry my camera would fall off the strap. Not too ergonomic but that could just be because I'm weak, so, you know. Focal length of the 105mm have some nice reach but the 5 ft minimum focus really cramped my style, and I completely forgot about macro mode (oy!) because the food was so good. A dedicated telephoto lens might be a bit more compact and light. Went back home, arrived 11:15, did some bib note style annotations on a Zettelkasten paper, Zettels Raum. Had work from 12 to 7. Passed by faster than I thought and there was a nice breeze which soothed the 85° weather. Got back home around 7:25, ate plenty of pickled cabbage and seared fried fish. Yum!! Spent the rest of the night working on Helios, trying to crunch down my annotations on L2 language acquisition. Not bad, though I still need to index the cards...
