Tomorrow is my first day off in over two weeks, so it's ****ing on tonight. Assuming I don't pass out in the next few hours and sleep till noon tomorrow. Until then, this song is my spirit animal...

It's been a rough week. After accidentally scratching my cornea I had to see an ophthalmologist and get on a steroid for several days of bedrest where I couldn't work. Please understand that I have not been sick in 3-4 years. I seldom have a need to leave my home and as such my human interactions are quite far and few between. Consequently, I never contact an illness.
But, as luck would have it, in the waiting room at that eye doctor, I contracted the flu from a patient sitting near me and have spent the last week terribly ill. I'm now off work for the second time in as many weeks and am loaded up with Codeine, antibiotics, inhalers, and breathing treatments for the next few days. Still, I managed to have a bit of fun - This afternoon I took my wife and her mother on a date and treated them to a screening of Singin' in the Rain. It was her late grandmother's favorite film. *Related Fun Fact* - Gene Kelly reportedly had quite a fever during the shooting of the legendary "Singin' in the Rain" scene, so at least I have some good company. http://i.imgur.com/Yu1Dsnyl.jpg |

Yesterday I spent six hours in a civics engagement training workship.
I hate when they decide to take six hours out of people's days on a Saturday but it was good to connect with like minded people and get a refresher on civics 101. |
Not a very good day. But it stormed, so at least there's that.

A lot has happened since my 4PM post of my day, and as it's after midnight I'm posting the update.
I happened upon a channel of a charming Bulgarian gent who presents fantastically informative and entertaining video shorts on YT named exurb1a. Each video is engaging, humorous, and packs an impressive amount of thought-provoking info into tiny 4:30 features. But what absolutely blew my mind was my realization that this was the very channel which birthed the wonderful 4-minute sci-fi short about artificial intelligence that inspired me to start a thread on The AI Singularity and Transhumanism back in March of 2016! Better still - the fellow published a sci-fi book of his own which readers call engaging, thought-provoking, philosophical, deep, and humorous. I'll definitely be picking up a copy. I've put together a channel of 12 of my favorite 4-minute features, ending with the aforementioned AI short film, dubbed "27". Check them out. You will hate them. |
