Weeknotes for week 13, 2023
The week of March 27th.
It's a beautiful, sunny Sunday. I can see green hills and blue skies out the window.
I'm watching the Formula 1 race (not live) but will have to head out after.
It's been a jigsaw puzzle week.
We got the 2000 piece "Garden of Earthly Delights" puzzle from Educa and it's fantastic. Lots of great details. Best one so far.
I thought the enlarged crops at the top and bottom (that help it fit their standard size) would be annoying, but they just add interest.
We've been spending a few hours every evening on it. It really pulls you in – the next little win is always within reach.
The soundtrack this time has mostly been Hildegard von Bingen. And Roy Orbison, and Kjell Höglund's beautiful "Genesarets sjö".
Haven't watched a lot of TV or movies this week what with the jigsaw puzzling.
We did see Speed (1994). Great action; rather stilted dialogue (which was apparently written by Joss Whedon). Didn't think Dennis Hopper's villain was compelling. It reminded me of Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995) where Jeremy Irons played a much better villain.
It was the last week of cooldown at work. Had 1-on-1s with my team. Getting the hang of those.
Booked a work trip back to my native Sweden. I've learned one week is my limit – it's nice to meet family, friends and coworkers, but I miss life back here.
I had a nightmare where I was in a personal meeting on my computer and then a coworker spoke up and said I was also in a work meeting, unmuted.
It's like that classic "school without trousers" dream but for the modern age.
Inspired by Jose Munoz's site, I updated my /uses page, including some images. More to come, probably.
Some things I enjoyed:
