fresh grounds first

prep

heard on radio:

an excursion in iran —trump

sure, just a little escapade. a romp.
sounds fun.

brew

hand-written notes from today

found a surplus of grounds
in the grinder catchment
displaced them to china cup,
measured 1.7g
then set aside. then measured 15.9 fresh grounds into
the hario switch, using a spoon to top it
up to 16.0 g. this new technique,
what’s a good name for it? spare grounds cupping?

observe

listen

william kapell, piano, on album

here is schumann’s 3 romanzen, op. 28: 2. einfach. played this as a teen, but not like this, with kapel’s
adult respect and long lines.

it is so important to study music in youth
then return later.

a strange thing that happens to aging
pianists, when fingers have traversed
enough keys to forget whether familiarity
means having played
a piece.

when 14, could play every piece
ever learned.
a decade later, no longer the case.
now, it’s not clear
what was even played
mostly, the fingers know
by twitching.

yes:

taste

tingles of acidity.

walking through wet leaves

brew

hand-written notes from the brew for today

groundsniff

needed to go find my fastidious unicorn, who
wanders about,
organizing things.

a lukewarm smell.

like walking through wet leaves —🦄

there were grounds left in the catchment from yesterday,
possible explanation for why?

observe

some meanderings getting into the seat of observation.

technical phlogiston

when did ctrl+[ overtake esc as the vim mode switcher?
staring at the hands.
no answer. need to remap capslock again.

new to nvim; noticed mouse cursor change:
clicked appreciation.

wow: nvim split mode works with mouse wheel
perfectly

idea: what if a comment of x on y was
recorded on a dialectical blockchain?
the discourse, weaving
leaving immutable footsteps
in the snow of time

listen

(continuing celebration: nytimes.com: Éliane Radigue: Composer of Time, Silence and Space, Dies at 94)

Jetsun Mila Pt. 1
connected through great earbuds
to spooky actions
at a distance, spinal tingles
vibrating 💀
buzzing ☕️ growls @ 30’ from the deep
36’ has a frensel lens.
lighthouses had a “characteristic” - a unique flash pattern that
identified it in the dark.

consider

homonymic cousins

  • veil - a covering, something that hides, she veiled her disappointment
  • vale - a valley, she noted the snow in the vale
  • vail - to lower or remove in respect, she vailed her bonnet

taste

took a while to enter the cup.
it’s like the flagpole, still.
a call from a bird around the crag.
two heaps of silence.

listen

continued to pt2.

3’ over tones gentle hummingwarble

taste

now it’s cooler than before, yet
the patagonia mug still cradles
some heat.

question

when and how should one clean the Timemore grinder?
