These last 14 days I’ve:

– Written a couple of drafts for this blog. Inshallah they’ll end up here.

– Made digital copies of important family documents. The floods in Valencia last October got me a bit scared of losing everything in the event of a disaster in my area. Buddhism and Fight Club made me okay with the idea of losing everything I own, but there’s no harm in being cautious.

– Tried Linux Mint for the first time. I installed a 240GB SSD in an old PC, and the Cinnamon Edition of Mint on it, and I’m loving it. This might be the distribution that makes me stay using Linux. I just needed it to be very easy to use. I’ll keep Windows 11 on my main PC, because of Adobe and gaming, but I’d like to install Mint in a partition as well.

– Set up a Plex server on that Linux PC, just to see if I could. It’s really cool but I don’t actually need it. I’d rather not have a PC running 24/7, and just plug in my external HDD whenever I want to watch movies and TV shows I totally own.

– Organized some audiobooks and podcasts and transfered them to my MP3 player, so I can listen to them when I want to go for a walk without bringing my phone as a player. If I did, I would lose my time with social media.

– Watched Prisoners and Companion, among other movies. But these two are the most well-constructed I’ve seen in a long time. I love Denis Villeneuve and I don’t know why I waited so long to watch Prisoners. Now I still have to watch 4 out of his 11 feature films: August 32nd on Earth, Maelström, Polytechnique and Sicario.

– Had deeper conversations with friends and acquaintances I usually meet in a club or social gatherings. I learned more about other ways they want to socialize, and now I’m more inclined to call them and say “move your ass right now, we’re going for coffee and chisme.”
