last minute change of plans: seats for George Benson
Posts from August 2022
I've used Todoist for forever, but it's just not working for me any more - I can't visualise the big picture with just lists. So I've spent the last week looking through project management apps, which are all team-focused these days, of course, which is frustrating for a solo act like myself. Trello is, uh, beastly, and to get the functionality I want, is more expensive than I want. I gave Hive a thorough test run this week, as it looked quite promising, but quickly discovered structures/procedures there that just won't work for me. So this week, I'm giving ClickUp a try. Fingers crossed.
Ugh ugh ugh. I dearly, dearly wish that the Kindergarten Aesthetic (bright primary colors, softened corners) would just go out of fashion already. I am not a child, I do not need visual stimulation like I did when I was 18 months old. (Sitrep: looking for a task management app)
working at the club this morning - by the pool - swoosh swoosh swoosh splash, swoosh swoosh swoosh splash - the soundscape here is so pleasingly rhythmic and natural - the sounds of humans, but not the sounds of voices
YAY YAY YAY! There is now an official plugin/integration between Readwise and Raindrop. Which means it pulls into Obsidian automatically, too! WOOT! readwise.io/changelog...
one of those “why you move to Southern California” nights
Hollywood Bowl picnic
Busy busy busy on picnic-making for our outing this evening. Rachmaninoff will be accompanied by empanadas, mini bacon cheeseballs, melon, homemade cheesecake and peppermint patties. And wine, of course. Plenty of wine.
Bella Luna's day today, full of dreams and plans. Still kind of glowing from the Scheherazade performance out in the open air last week, under the fullness of her light. It was magical.
