- the twilight run in Central Park tested my focus which was not that sharp today
- like a dull ache longing for crisper times
- of a mental edge that cut through crap so well
- but I was mildly amazed at my ability to hold a serene thought and
- allow my body to work out its kinks and let
- the motor go on for a while longer than
- some days when my mind (or ego) can’t sustain the pace and it yells louder or just loud enough
- so that my legs slow down to a walk
- however tonight fueled by many runners and 64F weather and that
- fun run coming up in 36 hours was just enough to get me
- down by the lake in good time and just a couple pauses
- soon after my legs propelled me automatically and minutes later
- my left thigh seized like an engine that lost valve oil
- but just for a moment as a couple stretches and yoga like deep breathes
- flowed some necessary body ingredients to sore areas
- playing with my new toys
- I don’t doubt that neighbors are wondering if a dentist has moved in their midsts
- so I need to think about soundproofing a bit
- or relegate my craft activities to the locked bathroom until
- I do figure out something
- “easy glass etching” seems an oxymoron but it isn’t the first such title I’ve gotten out of the library
- I wonder if that cheap Ikea glass stuff is worth testing some etching on
- and I remind myself I need to order facemasks
- before I read about glass dust dangers and scare myself out of that side of the hobby
- but that light box/table I’m gonna make should ameliorate dust enough
- so that I won’t obsess about it
- still I need to read and educate myself some more and practice on cheaper and less toxic acrylic first
- the forex chart shows a nice trade I missed while showering
- and the LED I implanted into a yellow ping pong ball makes a nice light
- no glare, bright enough and it looks like a bulb albeit
- with two little thin wire legs coming out of it
- maybe I should take a marker and anthropomorphisize it somehow
- or maybe I’m just a bit lightheaded after running about 6-7 miles tonight
- my Cstream wanders into a neat short Kafka-esque story of an inventor with lots of LEDs and ping pong balls
- but perhaps with a happy ending
- and I wonder if there is such a thing as childrens pop up book with LEDs used in an imaginative way to “hi-lite” the story
- or in some other way educate and involve the reader enough
- to have them interact so that they finish the circuit
- in order to complete the multi-ending story
- that last idea has enough ‘oomph’ to think about more
- but alas we do live in such a virtual society already and would
- such a blended concept take hold?
- maybe there is some magic in taking the old and new and creating something just a little different
- that Euro is taking off into 1.47xx land
- as the daily chart looks like its about to climb K2
- with a short stint at base 1
- the 4 hour charts show hesitation at 1.4730 ish but
- as usual 6am greenwich time has some early Euro bull risers
- will it linger in the 1.48 area and come back down with the upcoming US stock market pullback?
- go with the trend, go with the trend
- I need to make that mantra into a song
- is there a word that means “song-ify”?
- the active voice is so much more well active
- me thinks I have drained that last bit of caffeinated adrenaline out of me
- but a quick glance at the etching book before ping pong out.
