Not getting a whole lot of sleep tbh. Maybe 3-4 hours a night at most, which is unusual for me. It's not like I feel tired or crazy stressed or anything, at least not obviously.

Maybe I'm internalizing?

Finished up all things future child's room today, which doubles as the guestroom (because we plan on making our guests de facto babysitters obviously).

For a lot of people who work from home (I mean pre pandemic), hosting guests is often umm, undesirable, because it can very easily lead to cramping one's style. And while that's true, I love having guests crash at mine, even when the wife and I were living in a tiny studio apartment in Los Angeles, one that practically had no walls and thus no privacy, we always had folks come stay with us! And those are some of the highlights from our time in LA really. Probably a function of having had to relocate so often for a number of years now, always landing in a new place with no friends or contacts. So the only way to have any friend time really is to have long-standing friends come and visit.

Nobody ever came to visit us in Denver though.

I guess no one I know is into skiing. I have picked my friends wisely.

I'm assuming that one day people will be able to travel again, and stay for extended periods of time in houses that aren't theirs.

That would be nice.

Watched the old TMNT movie from 1990 btw and y'know what? It was really great to watch a proto Marvel movie* made entirely using practical effects and shot on real sets built out of brick, wood, and gravel and littered with real trash and real filthy puddles that actual people trained in martial arts got to roll around in (and teenage Sam Rockwell!). Even all the extras that are there just to get beat up are, y'know, actual live people! Imagine that.

Fine Eostre day, I say. Fine Eostre day.

*Fun action flick based on a comicbook sprinkled with a good dose of drama, high stakes, heart and littered with the comedic relief of one-liners? The DNA of the current Marvel movie formula is written all over TMNT.
