@aeva the spirit is as weak as the flesh is willing

@aeva i will start arguments and oh my god i am so unable to finish them

@aeva The flesh is drinking spirit

@aeva @oblomov

I have already assembled a cart to hold the flatbed scanner I am going to unbox.

I still need to move a couple of things so I can put the cart where it's going to live.

The weather is nice enough (my room has 2.5 exterior walls, so it is sensitive to the outside temperature) that I can work without either having cold feet during sedentary stuff or having to remove layers when I'm doing the active stuff.

@aeva the weakness and willingness of my flesh and spirit have been in such a state of fluctuation today that I think I could have checked any four of them at different given points of the day. Right now it'd be all weak, really.

@aeva which one is "I busted ass on adult things and I'm sure I'll have spoons again in a few hours which will then be depleted to near-zero by work tomorrow."

@aeva the spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised

@gsuberland first option. is this a reference

@aeva it is a reference. Zapp Brannigan line from the Futurama episode "Amazon Women In The Mood".

@aeva @brooke never thought therapy would require a SAT-solver

@aeva
In my defense, it's a Sunday.

@aeva

missing "the spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised".

@aeva it's more of a both are vaguely ambivalently, first option is probably closest.

@aeva I'm reading spherical harmonics, which is that? lol

@pupxel depends on how you feel about sphere harmonics

@aeva flesh is willing, spirit is willing, the drama is that their agendas do not align

@lritter hard to mediate and exercise at the same time

@aeva funny how short the levenshtein distance is between exercise and exorcise

@lritter @aeva the exorcist stairs were a common training ground for my high school's crew team. the story gets much worse

@lritter @aeva

As a teen I used to walk a lot for my mental health, I used to call it exercising my demons

@adaliabooks @aeva i just banned demons in puddles.

@aeva @lritter I've recently gotten into cycling for recreation and I've never had a hobby that was both active and meditative quite like this one. Just being outside and exploring with only the road and my thoughts is wildly freeing.

My little cheapo refurbished bike has been getting some major use this year already, and the weather is only getting better 🚲

Sitting behind my computer all day for work and then getting outside on the bike is like flipping a switch I swear

@rodhlann @aeva i wish somebody looked at me the way you look at your bike

@lritter @aeva just give it time, or get a bike 😂

@lritter @aeva that is usually when I tackle one of the 200 unplayed games in my Steam library.

@GyrosGeier @aeva did all that. now i have to face the segfaults. and figure out how to get some fun out of this.

@aeva Tbh, I need to try sleeping. And eating... that'd be good too.

@lunarood i recommend these things generally. gonna get some sleep myself in a few

@aeva Same. Also, for no particular reason... don't think too hard about which timezone I'm in.
