you're on the roofs of the california hills, i'm inside the walls of the snow-covered prairies, but i feel like i've been having similar revelations/experiences regarding manual labour over the last few months. there is something nice about your job having material effects on Earth, even if they're relatively inconsequential and often based on the whims of rich people.

i also think the "everybody worships something" is an interesting quote, i think i perhaps worship the idea of perserverance itself

When I was in Beijing in August I also had that crazy feeling of being busy all day and sleeping like 4 or 5 hours a night (on the floor), but somehow being filled with energy and able to do all sorts of writing. then as soon as i got home the magic was gone!

yellow for q1, blue for q2 (random guess) https://files.catbox.moe/7mc7nr.jpg | what is the removal process like? separate quote or do the customers do it themselves?

yeah i tend to be like that while travelling too, i don't understand the "lay around the pool/beach all day" crowd and it's frustrating when travel companions cannot match my energy

here's a key: https://suboptimalism.neocities.org/secret/key.jpg | removal is included because it takes 1/10th the effort to yank them down (especially from rooflines), lights are ours so we take them with us

thought that sand brick thing was an apartment complex. there are no results online of "el cajon donjon" γ½(Β΄γΌο½)γ -- one product that'd be interesting to offer would be programmable lights which they can modify through website/app, but programmable lights prob are expensive

the reason it doesn't come up is because i made up that term last year... it's some kind of government building notable for being by far the largest in the whole valley. there are these new programmable "govee" permanent house lights but we hate putting them up because the adhesive they come with sucks

don't read too much into it... i just unearthed that term from the first page of my notebook, where the deepest section (the oldest) is at the top. one day i hope to have a legitimate Z entry, perhaps by finally writing my novella titled "zugzwang"

would you consider enabling reader mode on your site? I read it frequently but this new theme really makes me motion sick bc I'm a pussy
Rust Cohle is such a good character. I love how vehemently Hart reacts to his weird ramblings, just a near-violent exasperation (also I need to watch that Bad Lieutenant, I love Nick Cave movie cameos...). Happy holidays!
"time is a flat circle" "what is that, Nietzsche? shut the fck up" π©
oh yeah, completely forgot to mention that they have one of the wildest "odd couple" detective partner pairings ever. i think what first convinced me to watch it was seeing the clip where hart says "i just want you to stop saying odd shit" then asks "you get any sleep last night" to which rust replies "i don't sleep. i just dream". especially amusing is how hard rust carries them, despite hart's grumbling.
haven't seen bad lieutenant, but if you want another movie about the horror of back pain, i highly recommend tsai mingliang's "the river"
