Took a walk during therapy for the first time. I’ll probably do that again, though I’ve cried too many times at this bench. A nice evening—time to unwind with a book.

A small playground in a tiny park across the street from a baseball field. There is a lonely bench as well.

After watching a bunch of clips from Taskmaster on Facebook I’ve decided I think I should watch Taskmaster. A highlight of the weekend. Also, friendship (*the* highlight of my weekend).

got some new markers and pens yesterday

Sketch of a woman wearing a polka dot blouse, flared gauchos and boxy sandals. Two micron pens are alongside the drawing.

Doodles of two people, a young man and a young woman, next to a coyote with almond eyes. Two micron pens cross the drawing in a spiral notebook.

Colored doodles of Cosmo, a black and white Havanese dog, with a red heart hovering above his head. Another sketch is colored of a purple winged ghost with a golden halo and black beak. Next to that is a feint doodle of a character. Markers sit alongside the doodles.

Colored doodle of a clown woman with colorful ribbons of hair, strung like ticker tape. Next to them is a young woman with short wispy hair staring upward, wearing a tight shirt and undershirt.

I’m going to be thinking about Jon Batiste’s show tonight for a long time. What an experience, it was borderline spiritual. I felt like I could unmask and be myself during the performance. It was a really bizarre feeling!!

Okay so Víkingur Ólafsson was extraordinary. Yuja Wang was transcendent. I’ve never seen a piano performance like that. Also. FIVE ENCORES.

…kinda processing this — since winning the court case Wednesday, I’ve noticed I’m smiling with teeth again.

Favorite Simpsons facial expression

A still from a Simpsons episode that parodies Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Homer is flipping out after having no TV or beer for a long period of time. His face and pose are very goofy for the moment.

Last night’s dinner in the main dining room: Lamb shank with onion mashed potatoes and green beans

A view from the floor of the main hallway of the shop, crowded with people taking part in the Sunshine Party, celebrating music of the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. The dome above the ship is a long stretch of digital screens that display funky colorful patterns and a green peace sign.
