Beat a bunch of people in tennis. The owner of the indoor courts 6-3, 6-4.. That high school kid while his dad filmed the match 6-2, 6-3. More I don't remember. Against the high school kid (#1 in region) I tried a new grip on both forehand and backhand for the first time ever. A double semi western. No grip switch. The backhand is very close to just being a left handed forehand. Really worked. I'm more facing the court/ball. Should be easier on my neck too on the two hand forehand. Also tried to remember to be like a baseball pitcher on the serve, not a centerfielder.

Read Ready Player One and Armada by Ernest Cline. The former is extreme nostalgia for the 80's. Primarily videogames. The latter is also heavy on the video games and was much better than the majority of the reviews suggested. The former was better though. Just OK though. Beyond the nostalgia, not a big deal.

Was ruminating really bad on Monday and Tuesday when coming back from having a week off. Don't even want to write about it.

Well, the one thing I should write about is trying to remember that how you look plays a huge and mostly unfair part in how you're treated. I'm not treated all that well it seems to me by most people. Instead of seeing it as proof that humankind is trash I should try to see it as just some absurd thing. People are controlled like machines practically by relatively meaningless random absurdities. And that is so so so much better a thing to think than the alternative.
