Done Since 2023-06-11

So apart from my phone threatening to blow up (expanding lithium battery!), dental work on short notice (see Sunday and Thursday), and ongoing experimentation with OTC hearing aids, I guess it mostly hasn't been a bad week. Started and ended well, anyway, with more than the usual (i.e. negligible) amount of filk (which I've been neglecting) Sunday and Friday.

I replaced my dying Pixel 3 phone with a Pixel 6, which I like petty well except for the flaky fingerprint sensor and excessive Google bloatware. It was fairly expensive and I didn't have time to do more than minimal research, but I was also able to get it in under 24 hours. Also under the tech heading, the Zeus phone/laptop charger that I backed on kickstarter arrived.

The dental work resulted in a bit of account juggling, but in the end that included setting up bill-paying from a couple of my investment accounts, which will be massively useful as long as I don't overdo it.

The Sunday's dose of filk was the last day of Festival of the Living Rooms on Sunday, which included Capplor singing The World Inside the Crystal with harp! (Also on their album, Eponymous). And on Friday Kaleidofolk (consisting of me, m, and N) had our first practice session in quite a while. (Our voice coach, m, had us doing all scales and warm-ups, because we're way out of practice).

After band practice, I drove up to the island with m and k so that they could go through stuff left from the move out of Rainbow's End, and bring down the air conditioner which is currently in my bedroom. I'm only up here part-time, so it will get a lot more use in Seattle.
