Toilet Paper Math
Restocking our TP supply, we discovered that the rolls are smaller than the last package we bought. Shrinkflation, you cry! Or is something else going on here? Let's do some math!
The Latest Words
Straight kombucha is too hard on my system, but I've been enjoying mixing it with San Pellegrino. I've been calling it Boochagrino, but the mister thinks it should be Pelleboocha. He's wrong, but I love him nevertheless.
My Default Apps
Oooh, oooh, since all the cool kids are doing it, I will give you a list of all my default apps. And maybe some other stuff too - like opinions on the length of podcasts, music discovery, and where voice memos go to die.
Starter Villain, and the Joys of Writing and Performance
A spoiler-free review of John Scalzi's Starter Villain and Wil Wheaton's audiobook reading thereof, complete with side commentary on listening to writing.
Seeing Through My Own Eyes
In which Laura muses on how seeing the world differently is going after a week with new contact lenses, and the unusally profound results of the change.
Getting our picnic ready for tonight - Wynton Marsalis "All Rise" at the Hollywood Bowl. Last concert of the season - really looking forward to it.
ARGH. Just realized that Clickup's timeline view, which I have been enjoying so much, was in a kind of "trial" state and isn't available at the $5/mo level. Have to spend $12/mo. I don't know if I'm angrier at Clickup for leading me on or myself for not noticing it.
I'm into the discovering-the-quirks phase of starting to use ClickUp, but I haven't run into any dealbreakers yet, which is heartening. And I'm still really liking being able to view my projects as timelines and boards as well as plain old lists. So far so good, ClickUp!
last minute change of plans: seats for George Benson
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.
