This week:

  • Still haven't done that habit murphy-proof.
  • Took on a challenge to do some items from a self-chosen theme every day for a week, and if you fail to do a day then you have to complete that plus the next day's task in order to check it tomorrow. I chose Summer Solstice Party planning as my theme. I did the first day and then things started to backlog.
  • I'm trying 20 minute zazen every morning. It is maddeningly boring. As a side note, there is something about buddhist philosophy (at least, as rendered by an anarchist author I'm reading) that appears so close to aspiring rationality that I feel horribly betrayed when I look closer and notice the serious clashes. It's like the uncanny valley effect, or reading Professor Quirrel's dark reasoning.
