Note to self: body wants to be a side sleeper all of a sudden. The crackling sound in my breathing is probably not helping. Probably bronchitis from the half-month cold and the sudden temperature changes and the plumber forgetting to turn our heat back on while checking the pipes without telling us.

Fuck me, this means Peloton time might need to be reduced, or omitted. Weights and core to compensate for lack of cardio?

(I need something to burn somehow, I can't abstain food in a house that shops at Costco)

This abruptly prompt post brought to you by my own gripes.

While I'm here though, might as well upload some photos.

A lot of these images I feel like I can process better. Having said that, I'm also unsure if they're worth the extra treatment. I did recently see a video that better explained the problems with using inherent contrast values and I think that's a major part of the angst I'm feeling at my own works. To be fair, I also question if the frames of some of these are worth the return trip. I'm glad I have a more stable storage method now though so I can have the luxury to even do this as I think almost all my old archives are on dead drives outside of a double drive I kept in a pricey enclosure.

I walked on ice in work shoes for this? Yeah, maybe a return visit postprod on these might be worthwhile if I can justify it, though framing in this case was just really damn hard in that kind of climate without ruining my work clothes.

Sandy Hook is pretty solid with ice. Not gonna lie, I like how not-Jersey Shore this feels, practically Northeast Atlantic, maybe even Arctic ocean-y.
