2nd day of the new year innit. January 2nd 2025. Had some ramen with kimchi and a couple fried eggs for breakfast. Seth bugged me to check out a new tea place where Honey Lemon used to be. It was alright. Later we swung by Paris Baguette and he got a sandwich and I had a ham and cheese croissant. Had the croissant with a regular coffee (15/250, Hario Switch -- grounds consistency from Fellow Ode 2 is definitely apparent and incentivized me to brew with the Switch almost every day of break) and a couple Sethbling videos about ML in games. Got hungry around 6:30, a bit earlier than I thought, and had some fried small fish and leftover soup from yesterday. Had a couple more snacks later, rationalized as dessert. Probably should eat more but I just felt out of it all day today to commit to anything. Mostly I spent a few hours working on an email to my new roommate. Had the brief thought maybe I'm losing a little bit of my intuition (which doesn't make that much sense -- any loss is frequency of embodied "flashes" of inspiration, not intensity), which makes it all the more important for me to start verbally/writing out brainstorms and outlines more often, and then riff off on that. Even to prompts, like tweets or questions I want to reply to or reblog. I think I'd kick myself a little if thawing my writing block were as easy as planning a little more concretely...
