Ravings of an Undead Cheese Minion

(1 book a week indefinitely. I'm nowhere near there yet but it will happen) ...Is that I'll finally be able to read all the 69420 fantasy novels that Zucc keeps spamming to me on FB

computer science is a field that inherently requires intensive abstraction you can't survive as a programmer without a propensity to abstract   data structures don't actually exist; they're human-level abstractions of code, which is itself an abstraction of circuitry. ultimately programming is just the art of flipping electrical current on and off in precisely the right sequences, electrical current which has been engineered to implement digital logic from analog electrical voltage. but then again, the digital realm itself is an abstraction; it does not exist in reality.  there is nothing that is truly digital; there is simply varying voltage that falls within specified ranges that we as humans  have determined to convert to 1s and 0s for the purpose of simplicity --  abstraction.  so yeah -- abstraction is all over the computer science world.  but art requires the exact opposite of that. you have to detach yourself from all abstraction, and focus solely on observation. and

PR in the half marathon on Sat (1:23:02) after eating a Maverik pizza of all things the night before. Plus an uncrustable, Reese's lava big cup, a zero calorie ice pop flavored drink, and I can't remember what crackers or chips I ate right now.  Today what I thought was dryness ended up being a full blown sore throat. It got worse as the day progressed and my water consumption skyrocketed. Evening run is out, and so is clarinet and voice practice except for reading sheet music.

Piano in church on Sunday, band concert on Monday, dress rehearsal tomorrow, interviews actively in the pipe, and flying home on next Wednesday.  I shouldn't be surprised though. I get sick every November. And to think I felt like a million bucks lifting this morning. Oh how fast the tower topples.

Once again... As before, I cannot guarantee a lack of reposts. Let's see if blogger can handle all 71 or so of these lol
