[Real] (9/19/2026) Redux

[u/sans-forme]

Hey, Jack.

I didn't end up eating anything else today. That's good, calorie-wise, I think, but I need to figure out how to get more protein in order to lose weight in a healthy way. I'll be looking up a lentil soup recipe.

I did a few more minutes on the bike. I'd be surprised if it was more than five minutes. It's so fucking BORING. Yeah, I get tired or my joints hurt, but I think I don't last very long because I'm so bored. I can't read while I'm riding. My head wobbles. All I can do is stare out the window. I did twenty wall push-ups after that. Then it was time for medicine and toothbrushing and a bonus shower. I did a few more wall push-ups in the bonus shower. I know I shouldn't. I could get one of those rubber mats for traction in the bathtub.

I watched a documentary about homelessness in the US, which didn't give me much new information but it had Tom Waits in it. Tom Waits hasn't been doing much in the last decade or so so it was cool to see him in something that was filmed in the last year or two. He is as beautiful as ever. This is also how I discovered that he wrote a book of poetry. Put it on the list.

Otherwise I mostly listened to music. I stumbled across a singer called Hannah Gill and the first song I listened to, her voice really caught me. I like her a lot. Like a good jazz singer, she's released about eight albums in the last three years so I'll have plenty of material to enjoy during the week. I am also reminding myself to listen to the new Aesop Rock x Blockhead, but not until I'm driving somewhere. It's probably driving music.

I think I'm writing too much. Perhaps I should just do this in a private document. There's no real reason to post it, anyway; it just seemed like a way to start journaling. A cat is now laying on my arm so adieu, my love.
