I looked at <a href="http://tilde.town/~insom">insom</a>'s recent post. (hey, we're reading each other's stuff!!)

It's interesting to think of ~town as a "fork" from where the internet was in the 1990s. It's nostalgic for me as well, but... in a different way.

It reminds me of a time where the internet just didn't seem so unwelcoming... so violent, in a way.

This probably doesn't help all those feelings of nostalgia. I've slowly disappeared more and more from the internet for this reason.

My foot pain seems to have almost completely gone away. Whether related to new insoles, a 3-day weekend, or both, we'll see.

I'm cautiously, ever-so-slightly optimistic. (Though, I'm not looking forward to another 9-hour shift.)
