I put off a boring task at work for weeks in favor of a more interesting work project. I kept telling myself over and over that I should switch over and start the other project before it gets late. But every time I tried, I just couldn’t work on it. I literally couldn’t. It was so difficult I was almost falling asleep just staring at the code. I’d switch back.

I finally finished it today. The day before it was due. Came in this morning, brain kicked into overdrive and I just finished it all. I don’t remember eating lunch. What should have been done in two weeks, was done in a little over two days. Why do I do this myself. I can’t help it.

(The code looked really good though.)

Me looking for a widget in random place in my house: “Oh hey there’s one of my screwdrivers that I’ve looking for, for months.” Immediately sets it aside in random place and continues searching for widget. “Don’t worry. I’ll remember to put that screwdriver up later.” I tell myself…

Agreed. They’re all good. Chiptune Memories is still my favorite album. I would love to have another in the same vein with lots of vocals. But I was very happy to see a new EP after what felt like years.

Thanks. I decided to just number them and not literally say “day” or “daily” but it pretty much is. Because almost every morning my brain likes to play a game of guess that song. It could be something I listened to yesterday, a week ago, or longer. And it usually drives me crazy until I find it.

Textra. I bought it years ago. Had it on multiple phones. Still works great and still gets updated. Lots of options too. My favorite is a little delay timer on the send button that gives me a chance to cancel if I see a typo at the last second or just change my mind.

Huh? I thought there was a bump out on the GBC cartridge that prevented you from inserting it into a Game Boy? Also the notch cut out of the corner that prevents the power switch from operating. Am I mis-remembering?
