- I slack off at work way too much.

- "I Got The" by Labi Siffre is my new favorite song.

- I started a bullet journal. Again. We'll see how long this one lasts. I
  rarely feel busy enough to need any kind of a system, but then two or three
  times a year I get busy enough to need something to help me keep track of
  stuff, but then I stop being busy and abandon my system.

- my ice maker is broken at home and the ice maker at work is also broken and
  I don't know what I'm supposed to do, just go out and buy a whole bunch of
  ice like a cave man?

    Before the invention of modern refrigeration, people used to have to carve
    huge blocks of ice out of frozen lakes and whatnot and load them up onto a
    train and then transport these huge blocks of ice by train to locations
    that were still to warm to have ice, or which were to warm to EVER have
    ice. I remember reading about a village of people who had never seen ice
    before and the first delivery of ice was a huge life-changing event for
    them.

- I've just finished reading two books about racism in America. They were both
  really heavy, and I'm having a bit of a hard time with it because I try
  really hard to live my life in such a way that I not only simply don't do
  harm, but also lift people up and try to empower them, and I haven't before
  now and up to this point had a lot of exposure to the fact that by virture
  of where and when I was born, I have been passively and actively
  participating in this system that exploits and enslaves and murders entire
  populations of people solely for my benefit.

- apparently the dudes just came by and replaced the ice maker at home. That's
  nice. Havin' ice. I'm about to leave in a few minutes to go teach Yin, which
  sounds really appealing to me at the moment. I'd love to take a class right
  now instead of teaching one. And then I need to go home and get a ton of
  work done tonight. (While sipping iced beverages!) Remember when I said I
  slack off at work too much? Yeah, that's coming back to bite me in the
  behind right about now.

- just finished teaching. Got to announce to the class that the studio is
  closing. That felt weird and sad. There were two big chocoloate chip cookies
  on the counter when class was over so I ate them and they tasted really
  good. Met the girls at the hotel to watch the end of the game. Came home and
  the ice maker still seems to be broken.
