i wanted to get out very early this morning to get some groceries, but i just crashed exceedingly hard not long before i wanted to go, and slept until around 20:00. i dunno. i'm awake now.

as mentioned, i want to give my sound card a try, given that the production machine seems mostly stable. so, i'm going to close a few thoughts with the asimov and get to that overnight.

i don't generally go anywhere on the 31st, and i don't care much for the holiday. it's basically a calendar error - the celebration is the solstice, and they got the day wrong. it's empty, meaningless, pomp. but, be extra careful about drunks on the road tonight...
