Week Notes 16

Week Notes for July 22-28, 2024

I didn't list these as things I made, because I didn't make them this week; but I reposted several of my old Wordpress blog posts on my Bear blog. They date back to 2020. I haven't imported all of them, I'm being selective; but will probably post some more.
Veronique bought me my very first coffee!! I helped her out with some small CSS stuff but I think she was buying for my overall helpfulness with figuring out blog stuff. I hope that she is able to figure out what she wants to do with her blog (both with hosting and blog vs. email)!
- If you also want to buy me a coffee, you can do that here

I went on two hour+ long bike rides on the weekend! It was beautiful weather and I've been wanting to get out on the bike for a while. I haven't been able to ride to work for various reasons, so these more than made up for it. I took some pictures along the way, which I will eventually share (I need to sort through them).
- My favourite ride was Saturday. It was a much cooler temperature outside and I got to cross two bridges over water between provinces. I think there were more hills but this was worth it.
Trying to put some context to my health watch numbers (steps, sleep). The struggle is that I need to keep up with it or else I'll drop it again.

I finished The Plot - you can read my review, linked above.
A weird thing I never noticed about MLB The Show 16: if a player's visual design has them wearing sunglasses, they still wear them at night. Their walk-up music should be changed to Corey Hart's "Sunglasses At Night".
More music this past weekend! And I am more than glad that my tape deck is working out so well. I listened to another recording I did Sunday night from the radio - it sounded really good. Also threw on 5 CDs and listened to them from disc 1 to disc 5, in order.
- I recently found out that with Open Scrobbler you can scribble entire albums at a time. Up until now I've been typing one song at a time. This is so much easier!
I bought a neat little zine from Trish Coxe. I don't think Trish has a store set up for her zines yet, but you can click around her site to find links to buy her art. Anyway. The zine. It's a sort of "read-along" to a song. It's short, I believe 5 panels? It folds up to slightly smaller than a CD booklet, which is clever for being a read-along to a song. I liked it!
Weekend movies: Kill Bill: Vol 2 and The Bourne Identity. Interesting contrast in types of action in each film. The fighting sound effects were similar in both films, but felt way out of place in Bourne.
