Last Notes npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 I grabbed a copy of Goodnight Punpun at Bookman's down in Tucson. I had no idea what I was getting into. Full of tragedy, awkwardness and abuse it still manages to be a gripping read and even a little uplifting. I haven't been this captivated since I read 20th Century Boys. I don't know if I can really recommend Punpun though, it's challenging stuff. #manga #punpun npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Ouch... npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Man, this is a tough game to watch. The Roots scored one beautiful goal in the first ten minutes. New Mexico has been dominating ever since but can't seem to score. 😮💨 npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Settling in for the NM United FC season opener. They're in Oakland, playing the Roots. Both good teams but, obviously, NM oughta win. 😁 #usl #NewMexico #soccer npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Lake Chad reached its largest extent during the Holocene. Really, it was almost an inland sea. To distinguish this body of water from its modern form it's often referred to as Lake Mega Chad. As a parent of meme obsessed teens, this makes me very happy. npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Looks like I can do all the color/contrast correction I need right in Darktable. 😀 npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 I'm just playing around with using Darktable to get RAW images off my NEX-5. So, now you have to see my breakfast. Eggs, black beans, avocado and mashed plantain with pickled onions and habaneros. Yum! #food #breakfast #darktable npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 It's been two full weeks since I turned off my smartphone and it was definitely the right choice. I was really worried about not having it but in the last two weeks I've only had to say "I'm sorry, I don't have a smartphone" once and it got me out of doing something I didn't want to do anyway. My attention is starting to come back and I'm definitely less anxious. Everyone is different and my experience will never be your experience but if you can, try getting rid of the misery box. npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…va7h npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…gqua npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 It's been a handful of days since I turned off my smartphone and I've already noticed some changes. My long dormant keypad typing skills are coming back which is fun. My anxiety about not having a smartphone is starting to fade. I'm really enjoying my single purpose devices (nex-5, xteink4, gbc, Voyager 2). Auto complete typing made me nervous. Having a notification light on my phone is a game changer. We'll see how it goes but I don't think I'm going back. npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…2xz0 npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…unyp npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…0dkr npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 For context, I studied photography in the past but it was all analog. I know all about cameras and lenses but almost nothing about the digital side... So go easy on me. 😅 npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 I ditched my smartphone. But the camera on my flip phone is garbage. I got a Sony alpha NEX-5. Ancient but, by my standards, a ridiculously premium device that packs plenty of pixels. What it doesn't do is all the cool post processing. I'm used to the high contrast, over saturated images that Google photos turns out. I need to find some decent software to replicate (some of) that. What do you use for processing your photos? I need something fairly simple that runs on *nix. #photography npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Zotz wants you to know that his vision is actually fine and that he deserves two treats for putting up with me. #catsofmastodon #cats #Zotz npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Hey Santa Fe! I'll be in town the first week of January. Anyone want to go out for lunch? npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 One of the kids has been playing Creep by Radiohead on the piano. It's nice. Like most of humanity, I think Radiohead is pretty good but I haven't actually listened to them in a long time. Even so, guess what was in my music recommendations today? Yep, it was Creep. 😬 #google #AlwaysListening npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Two turntables and a macrophage. npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 I mean, I get it, you can't just call people from the US Americans, after all there are other countries in the Americas. But, usians? No thanks. We already have a perfectly good word. It's Yankee or Yanks. Maybe that's a little offensive to confederate types but nobody cares what they think. npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Hey y'all, New Mexico Wild is doing a push to resist the repeal of the Roadless Rule. They've made it super easy to submit a comment to the Forest Service. If wilderness is a priority for you, check it out. npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 The best thing about beans and rice for dinner? Is beans and rice (and avocado) for breakfast! Sadly, we ate all the plantain last night but it's still yummy. npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…2ylj npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…al47 npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 A critique of poetry from Valerian and Laureline. #poetry #comics #valerian #bd #alcohol #suicide npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 First time making baba ganoush! #food #cooking #eggplant npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…5ars npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…w0xp npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…a46y npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…w9q3 npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…8wwf npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 I accidentally went to the SWAG bookshop downtown and scored some interesting books! #books #scifi #poetry #cooking #history npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…l9zw npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…l9zw npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Finished up Dr. Who: Revenge of the Cybermen. It was great! The plot was good with genuine tension and intrigue. And, the FX were cheesy and delicious. Especially the shaky-cam near miss of the planet Vogon at the end. It was extremely close but I think I liked it better than Genesis. npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…6ksn npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…3e0r npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…52gl npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Oops, looks like it's international Stay Off the Internet day.

I took a nasty spill but had the presence of mind not to lock my arms. So, I was badly scraped up but otherwise uninjured. Absolutely no one commented the scabs on my face and hands until I stopped at the Vietnamese grocery in Tucson. The old lady at the checkout took one look at me and said "what happened to you?" I told her I had tripped while running. She paused a bit then said "it's better to tell people you were boxing". 😂 #running npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…a46y npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 @nprofile…8wwf npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Man, I hate Whatsapp. Even though I was on do not disturb, it rang my phone at 4 AM to let me know that someone from Nigeria wanted to talk to me. I would delete it in a heartbeat but outside of the US (especially in Central America) it's the only thing anyone uses. 😓 npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Nice afternoon run out at Dragonfly. #running #NewMexico npub1998jhnyjklrh9uzf2vcj7v70eejs65qgqh099d8lfwjqu3l90lss6v2gte Rafaelito 🦤 Sitting in the driveway waiting for the car to update.
