But Is It Art?
Apr. 22nd, 2015 06:58 pmSunday Mary Beth and I ended up watching The Babadook. It had elements that could have been good, but overall I wasn't too into it. Mostly the style, it reminded me of Insidious or something. I was relieved on Monday to find out that my computer issues were not my fault. I got back in and it was straight away back to being crazy slow. Finaly, when I took it off its dock it started being more normal. I thought it was the dock, but it ended up being just the updating software over the network connection ("CA") having gone haywire and grinding everything to a halt. Later in the evening picked Heather (newly moved back into town from many years in San Fransisco). Her training's out on Winchester so I thought it'd be a good opportunity to go to the Winchester Farmers' Market so I took Mary Beth along. In between, we went to Huey's and I ate a bunch of nachos even though I was already kinda full. Real smart stuff. Yesterday I ended up being remarkably dumb at work. I kinda fucked up the SVN. Well, I didn't fuck it up, more like mucked it up and fucked up what I meant to do. So I was gonna update this one file, but ended up committing the whole project folder. So there was a whole slew of files that got updated unintentionally (mostly, just stuff with extra loggers here and there or stuff I"d abandoned working on in favor of a better route). So I had to go back and get the earlier version, grab the code, get back to the latest version, copy the old code back over, and re-commit. So the SVN is now littered with evidence of my colossal stupidity, mostly in updates saying "undid accidental commit." After work Mary Beth and I went to this exhibit on abstract art at Crosstown Arts. It was really good and there was stuff I liked a lot. There was a discussion too and that was pretty interesting (even though one guy kept harping on "ready mades" not being "paintings," so some good discussion and thoughts came from his questions, etc). Today back to not having much to do at all at work. Have been working an hour over every day this week (so I can go home early on Friday for the trip!). For a time all the bathrooms in the building were out of order today (men's, women's, first, second, third floors) and I had to go across the street to use it. At least the weather was delightful at the time and I got to treat it as a nice little stroll. There were also little not-cupcakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes for some reason and they were really fucking good. I'm hoping there will be more for me to do tomorrow, was kinda getting bored today.
