September. Week 37.
Sep. 16th, 2023 05:45 amIt is 5.30am on a Saturday and I'm awake. I don't tend to sleep more than 7hours max, and since I usually get up at this time on workdays it's not too surprising. At least it means I finally have some time and headspace to update my journal with a recap of the past week before I hit the gym.
The Festool cases finally arrived at work Monday. I got them as a belated (work related) birthday gift this year. Figuring out a preferred system of organization in them is a bit more daunting than I had expected when work is so busy. I'm going in to work today for a few hours, so might take a moment to sort through my tools while I do.
I've joined a sculpting club at work. Haven't really had a lot of energy or time to get much sculpting done the past few months, but last weekend I played around with nature vs man themes - having lichen/coral overtake the models face. Note that any potential similarities to 'the last of us' was wholly unintentional.
On Tuesday me, Joe and Jenny went and saw James Cameron's Aliens at the local Cinema. They were having an event called "Eat the Film" where they serve themed food throughout the movie. It was a great experience, delicious food that had some real creative tie-ins to the movie. My favorite has to be the "stomach caul impregnated with chicken & bacon mousse that's been inseminated with a soft-boiled egg, chicken leek casserole & crispy sweet potato tentacles" booy the texture/description really fit with the scene it was served for (it was real yummy though!).
( Work musings )
But hey, look at some cool stuff I worked on instead...

Alright time to get ready for the day...
