judith light had history's most foofy bangs. that is all, good day oulipians

though i'm noticing that this mastodon is now only for palindromic formulations, so to this post i will add: panama

i got an rx that is logistically tough to fill and nothing actually truly bad occurs if i'm not always taking it 100% according to my doc's instructions, so i run out of it and kinda usually put off (for too long) calling it in and picking it up. but i finally did it today and i want to mark this small victory! it wasn't all that difficult!

allison, using macbook air from 2013: it is good that i do this, i am okay with a slow cpu

allison, waiting for just 1.5mins for a batch with, i dunno, 50 cpus to start on nyu's HPC: WHAT IS THIS I MUST APPLY BIG COMPUTATION NOW YOU DORKS

i had a daily habit of doing a tarot draw for many moons in a row and i don't know why i'm not still doing it and i'm sad about it. it's just a small ritual but still tough to find a spot for it in my day

odd that on this mastodon i can talk about what i taught but not about what i am now taught-ing

first day of class today! this is a familiar syllabus, though i'm doing it for non-grad pupils this spring (not my typical cohort). aaand as usual i forgot how fatiguing it is to talk and do vigorous instructor pointing and hand-waving and board-writing for 90mins straight. 😴🔜🛏

oulipo x situationism: most ambitious cross-pollination occasion in history

lift up that asphalt and—look, what's this? that sandy coast!

it is cold in brooklyn today. so cold 🥶

updating you on this: i could not put it down bc i am stubborn and my brain has but an individual track, but i do think i got this thing to work! only drawback is that i had lots of not-this-thing work to do on saturday and sunday and now i must play catch-up, whoops

worst mood: working on a thing for days but running into a stumbling block that stops you from making it do what you want it to do—knowing you gotta put it down, turn back to it in a bit with unspoilt thinking

my plan today was to work on an abstract for that Philosophizing Our WWW conf but mistakingly wound up with brow furrows, frowning at LSTM programs and tutorials (working on a way of computationally making odd random words with phonological constraints)

magician, wrong way up. what i'm afraid of wrt my rising sign (lion): a charlatan. showmanship without anything to back it up, tricks, an illusion of virtuosity. or... cuspy virtuosity, about to unfold?

8 of cups. not so much walking away from this pathos, but stuck to it, holding fast, for good or ill...

knight of swords (upright). taking action on thoughts and plans. conviction (without foundation?)

i'm having drinks with @ranjit and @v21 right now which i think is a good opportunity to post on this account again! hi all

i don't know why but it was important to find out today that h.d.'s sign is also my sign (virgo)

oh god it's still going on. I don't know anything, I am a just-born baby 😎
