I am a practicing clinician, a recent doctoral graduate who finally graduated school but will never leave school, a huge technology lover, a man constantly fighting off the fat, and a father.
Happy Father’s Day! Its a Jurassic World kind of parental celebration.
Oh lala- Smartwatch 2 in silver metal- I quite like it in silver and find it a nice compliment to the black Smartwatch 2. While I have yearnings for Android Wear, seeing how much development is going on for it, I can’t justify the jump in price for the Smartwatch 3, nevermind the fact that I think it is quite bland compared to its predecessor. It was a bit of an oddball Kijiji meet up but all in all it was worth it. The watch is in PRISTINE condition and feels absolutely superb – like a real piece of jewellery.
Taking apart my second MX Performance mouse and glad to have fixed the double click issue- still don’t understand why disassembling it fixes it, but whatver, at least it works.
Transferring ram from my sister’s old VAIO FW into my VAIO SZ. I love the power indicator on the VAIO FW- its a great design and really stands out as a Sony design. Too bad the laptop it super plasticky.
Went to a farm with my school kids and what would know- its creepy. I can appreciate the efforts made here, but some of these things just ….just don’t give me good vibes. Like this rabbit with lipstick- in the dark this would positively look like a redneck Texas chainsaw massacrew style farm. Eurgh.
At least there were some farm animals to pet. They tried to eat everything.
I went on the longest run/walk in some time today- got to explore a good part of the river valley system and enjoyed some great views and sun today. Found this memorial lookout for a city employee who was murdered in Mexico- really hit me when I tried to Google her and found nothing. Its like her murder wiped her existence off the planet. Really had some uncomfortable musings about mortality today and the meaning of life. O mentioned a quote that fits here- there are two deaths- one when you die, and one when the last person mentions your name. Kind of crazy and real. Sigh.
At any rate, I had a good run and tried to get rid of my farmer’s tan. Doesn’t that seem so pointless in lieu of the idea of the two deaths thing? Eeep.
Got a new runnign water bottle and quite like it- has a hand grip and a nifty nozzle that is easy to drink out of while you are still moving.
Stairs- went back to this one today after taking my time with my running and it felt alright.
I seriously love how much the river valley trails offer- so many stairs!
absolutely beautiful summer afternoon.
Got to see lots of families out bbqing today and celebrating father’s day.
Got to watch people push hard on the stairs- much more relaxing when its not you doing it anymore.
Got to try the McLobster today and it was McFail- no seasoning and terrible presentation- it was awful awful awful. That’s too bad. I was really hyped over it. It doesn’t even look like the Google image search results. I think tehy forgot to add the salad dressing in it.
Hard rain eveyr now and then- stood outside to feel the hail and a massive lightning strike quickly terrified me and D back into the house.
I caught the Google car in our area! I don’t know why I find this exciting but I do. I use the service a TON so I guess that’s why.
