With the slightest hum and a rush of air, the express Shinkansen passes Shizuoka en-route to Osaka. The train is quiet, save for the finger taps on various tablets throughout the Green car; the noise of the other cars fully silenced by the sleek titanium doors.
So, so close to finishing The Bureau, which has been entertaining from start to end. I love a slow spy thriller.
Guess I’m stuck here
Snorri can’t vote but if you can please do
This was a surprising package
Struggled to get into this but once I did I couldn’t stop and it kept me reading till 5am

The air was very good so I had to go ride with @haley and @misandrelazar

Fireworks woke me up early this morning… I guess someone figured “fuck it, let’s start more fires”
How am I supposed to work when this cuteness is just right there?
The forest cat stalks his prey
He is the night
Considering the weekend
Tired: young pope Wired: young wallander
Raised by Wolves is super cool so far, but omg I bet it was a nightmare to film in full latex suits
Time to rewatch the way less weird and way more true to the book Dune miniseries.
Time to try hiking if the smokey air subsided a bit
Stumbled upon a very rad sideshow tonight while on a bike ride. A+ would watch again.
Vacation begins: now (Plus bonus bread I made for @mermaidperm)
Waiting for the confit to cool off like
Watching Rejseholdet really reveals how far Nordic Noir has come… and how Mads Mikkelsen was always great
Not sure what to watch
A friend caught me up on the news tonight and it sounds like we all have to vote via Quibi now?
Rolling pier outages means I did a good amount of baking before 3 today… like this slow roasted duck and sourdough
I really wanted to throw away this plastic bag… but I was overruled
Stationary and satisfied while I watch Alone
It’s super hot, so obviously it’s time to bake and make a stew
Went out this weekend with @hwz to camp for a night, and while it was brutally hot, I had a great time. It’s gorgeous out there.
Review of creamy good corn chowder: not creamy, but is good (test-driving backpacking food)
Do you think anti-mask people were this upset when the no shirt, no shoes, no service signs went up? Or is it only about their desire for illness?
despite breaking a chain, and being somewhat bereft of bike tools, I managed to get my bike working great and ride consistently these past few months. just added a little bar bag from Orucase www.orucase.com/collectio… this weekend for my camera, keys, etc.
doing this workout challenge thing with a few friends and it turns out I mostly eat vegan these days, except for duck… which I love.
If there isn’t a story called “For Whomst the Tik Toks” by the end of this byte dance debacle, the media has failed us.
new camera post www.brookshelley.com/posts/a-f… I love this GRIII!
Why yes, I did just use this phone to install system software to a new HD in my PS4
Summer bees and a squirrel from a meeting walk
the little lower lip…
Just had the idle and depressing thought that just as eating fugu is thrilling through the chance of death, perhaps eating mediocre mozz sticks is seasoned by the chance of COVID.
this my friends, is called being single during the quarantine. reading is my longest-standing hobby, and my curse.
Bc I didn’t get clarification on a “drink one oz for every pound you weigh” message from my trainer I’ve had > 160oz of water already today: AMA
Looking up at the lights
Watching Money Plane bc of @nuncamind and this week’s HDTGM and… wow.
It’s Friday!
Ugh the best dude to spend quarantine with is Snorri, imo
This week’s bread. I figured out that my hydration had crept up to >90% so my bread was hella flat. Fixed that and I’m around 80% now
New camera day
One last bike ride photo
Masked up with my pal Christine and rode around to shoot photos today, and it was really rad except when my glasses kept fogging-up. Trying to remember it’s really pretty outside even when I feel freaked-out by leaving the house.
Oh, you don’t listen to MBMBAM while eating caviar?
Learning a lot out in Oakland
