Two weeks past vaccine two \o/ Now I just need to figure out the secret rink hours (they haven't posted them online in a year now because 'they're closed') and find out what their current COVID protocols are....
YouTube's The Algorithm has recently chosen two of my figure skating vids to start reccing at people. Why, I have no clue, and of course The Claw has largely descended on the first couple I made rather than the more recent ones, but I can't complain. (Though LOL @ the Zagitova stan who showed up to go 'but where is the elephant in the room?!' on a vid where I didn't feel obliged to include her incoherent mess of a POTO program.) I also found out through poking at the analytics that my history one was linked on the official Worlds 2021 website in one of their news posts! Not sure why they didn't link the official ISU one instead, but thanks to whoever over there liked it! Still should've cancelled Worlds or provided a real bubble!
Got a pretty bad headache yesterday that I thought was my fault for being lazy about putting in my contacts, but revealed itself to be a migraine while I was waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in. Blegh. Ended up curling up on the couch with my laptop in dark mode since I couldn't sleep, and there went any plans I had to be productive for the evening. Today, though, I finished fixing up a bunch of code tests I had broken at some point! Now to make them less of a mess, and implement that front end, and....
Commencement has now become even more of a mess, because all the computing systems have been down for days, including the one where you schedule the COVID test you're supposed to get. I can't be mad about them not emailing us about the deadline extension to schedule it, because the email system is also down... at least I had no finals to panic about. (They cancelled finals because nobody could access the LMS, either.) Poor students, what a way to end an already strange year.
Wednesday reading:
Read: Finished another volume of Mononokean in Japanese. Still sad about the manga having ended, it's been one of my favorites, and the ending was announced so suddenly, too ;_; I'm not 100% happy with the last chapter, but it's happy enough and also happens to be very sequel bait-y (and also soooo pretty).
Reading: Almost but not quiiiiite done with the book my mom sent me, Voices of Early Modern Japan. More on that when I'm finished, but I'm pretty impressed with the array of content in it, and it's super interesting.
To Read: After this, back to finishing the book on Edo era sex workers.
