Preparing for Tropical Storm/Hurricane Barry. It's just a Cat 1, so not too worried, but this'll be the first hurricane since we moved to Louisiana 4 years ago. So I'm a little nervous.

Audiotistic will be taking up the majority of my weekend. Been a while since I've gone to a multiday festival. Stoked to listen to good music, do some drugs, and dance my feet off.

Chill before parting for the last two of my MA exams on Monday morning. I've reinstalled Debian with Gnome on it and have gotten rid of my tiling wm setup to force myself into it. Actually wanted to try Kubuntu but the installation would fail with an I/O error no matter what. I tried elementaryOS and the same. So I installed Debian w/ Gnome desktop. Later I thought maybe it was b/c UEFI, but I can't be bothered to do another install, those TeX packages take ages to download and install...
Gnome is beautiful! It is easily the most polished Linux desktop out there. KDE is nice and smart, but the way it's components manage configuration (both state and config dumped into a million files under ~/.config, so you can't easily VCS it) sucks big time. Whereas with Gnome I just wrote a script that dumps the dconf tree and filters some state (window size and pos mostly), which I check in, and I'm done.
Hoping to get to the beach this tomorrow, although it's supposed to Thunderstorm so who knows. It's been two years since I last went to the beach near where I live now, and as someone who grew up...
Hoping to get to the beach this tomorrow, although it's supposed to Thunderstorm so who knows. It's been two years since I last went to the beach near where I live now, and as someone who grew up practically on the ocean, I'm psyched.
Otherwise, Silverstone GP on Sunday which hopefully will be exciting.

I had to take my dog in for an emergency procedure last weekend, and today in the follow-up they had to be a bit more aggressive with their procedures since his infection wasn't healing.
It's rough knowing how scared he gets at the vet and how much pain he's in, especially because he hides it well. The hardest part, aside from my own fear of unexpectedly losing him, is not being able to tell him what's going on, why I'm leaving him in the hands of strangers, and that his pain will get better soon. It's such a terrifying ordeal for him, especially because he can't see the bigger picture.
I just brought him back home after his follow-up procedure which went well but has a tough recovery. He is going to spend the weekend (and next week) resting and getting lots and lots of much needed TLC from my husband and me.
Well I had my final exam of the semester this morning so, regardless of the outcome, I'm finally able to relax for at least a week or so. So far I've taken a small nap, finished my rewatch of...
Well I had my final exam of the semester this morning so, regardless of the outcome, I'm finally able to relax for at least a week or so.
So far I've taken a small nap, finished my rewatch of Evangelion on Netflix and now I'm starting Serial Experiments Lain for the first time; possibly trying to cook something interesting tomorrow since I ran out of noodles. Not much else I guess.
Forgot to say I've been wanting to try out NixOS on my netbook for a while so maybe that's coming tonight or tomorrow.
Take it or leave it, I never change my weekend plans :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUe65CzSGv8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWUsdBs1XrA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQnFrndKguQ

Hoping to dodge some of the rain in the SE and go MTBing with some friends! Working my way thru the Quenta Silmarillion too so hopefully I can tear into that over the weekend.

Hopefully, getting some more sleep. I managed to get a whole ten hours of sleep tonight, but that was with maybe five hours from the previous night and enough alprazolam to make my legs feel heavy* for the whole day.
Otherwise, I'm not sure. Probably reading - I just started the Mistborn trilogy yesterday - and possibly some more messing around with Racket.
* I had to get my blood drawn in the morning, and without meds I either run away, possibly through the wall, or shake so much that they can't find my veins. Even the first time I took it - the alprazolam - it took two people four tries to get anywhere, I was still trembling too much.
