Avoiding all Tears of the Kingdom online info and trying to do it alone. In contrast to Breath of the Wild which I did in tandem with the IGN website. Ultimately more satisfying.

Best job in the world! I teach primary (elementary) not secondary but I feel some of this.
“The single most important component of a camera is the 12 inches behind it. The camera you use is important, yes, but your brain, ideas and imagination are what really matter.”
Maybe this is it. That I like taking photos with my tiny camera more than my phone. The Guardian
Sticking with Silo but I’m eager to find out more about outside and the big picture. Maybe I’m being hasty. 📺
I like taking photos but don’t need a fancy camera and I’m happy not to editing too. Looking through my old Flickr photos and I use photos I take with an old Canon point and shoot and the photos just feel different. In a way my iPhone photos don’t. And I like them more.
Lyra got her UK visa today so we can finally book tickets and see my parents. It will be 3 years since we last saw them and 4 years since I saw my brother, sister and anyone in the UK. Which, I don’t feel too strongly about as I sit here but is actually a huge deal isn’t it?
Let’s go! (To skateboarding lesson.) Booooo
So to order the new Zelda, my friend sent me the contact details for someone I don’t know. I added them. Sent them the money, in the app, and my address and then they’ll send.
It’s just strange, I wouldn’t do that in the UK but such behaviour is perfectly normal in China.
Finally ordered Tears of the Kingdom. So strange that the last couple of months I’ve been playing Breath of the Wild, a 6 year old game. Easy enough to pop online and find answers to everything. Brave new world coming up with the new game!
You’re not here are you?
Your mind is in the future!
How can you be whole?
I’m not here. I’m at work 10 hours from now. Writing an email. Time travel!
Switch users… Do you have a preference for physical cards or downloading only?
Enjoying Citadel, bit ridiculous but lots of fun. 📺
This couple post house mixes from different, often beautiful, locations but they also show them cooking food as well. Which sounds bizarre, and is, but somehow is really watchable.
It’s funny, thinking about time after I started reading Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks book and how the new Dune film is out in November. 5 months. Such a long time?
Though this edit is funny and relevant since we’re reading it in class at the moment.
And this too, less slowly.

Currently started reading this again. Slowly this time.
Life, I know, was supposed to be more joyful than this, more real, more meaningful, and the world was supposed to be more beautfiul. We were not supposed to hate Mondays and live for the weekends and holidays. We were not supposed to have a raise our hands to be allowed to pee. We were not supposed to be kept indoors on a beautiful day, day after day. - Charles Eisenstein
Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman 📚
Lyra is on a course this week. So, if I want to exercise it’ll need to be before work… Spent more time not starting than I did working out.

It seems like it’s really important to you.
But the truth is, you don’t actually care about the things themselves.
If you had to choose between just about anything and your kids’ safety, happiness, and self-image, you’d never choose that other stuff.
Yet here you are, arguing about it again.
What you’re really worried about, hence the fixation, is the deep-seated anxiety that you might be screwing them up.
Relax! Let this stuff go. Seriously, just let it go. You won’t regret it.
Defeated Calamity Ganon! Breath of the Wild release date: March 3, 2017. Only taken 6 years. New Zelda in two weeks. 2029 here we come!
I finally overcame the inertia - read having a job, two kids and a desire for sleep, I’ve finally got into Zelda - Breath of the Wild. It’s pretty good eh? So, it’s strange that the new Zelda comes out in two weeks. I’m only 6 years too late. I think, I’ll get through the final boss before then if only so Yumo doesn’t keep asking me “Why aren’t you going to the final castle Dad?” Calm down son. Though, if I do start soon it’ll interesting not having ALL the online resources I now have. There’s a video for everything!
I believe that most people read quickly because they want not to read but to have read. But why do they want to have read? Because, I think, they conceive of reading simply as a means of uploading information to their brains… though few people realize it, many books become more boring the faster you read them.

Got this running around in my head. I’ve always been aware that I almost certainly rush through books but I’d never stopped to think about it. I’m now slowing down and savouring every word, or at least I’m trying to!
