Catch-Up Jumble

Did I fail to mention (here) that Cape Air has been running ITA's airline reservations system since March? In other Google product news, evidently the Google AR glasses thing is real. I'm not sure it's good for me to be even more plugged in than I already am, but I'd probably buy something like that, especially if it gave me a shot to replace my faulty recall for names/faces with technology.

I write too little here lately, and end up accumulating stuff until it's terribly disorganized. I should try to write short posts again when I have something to say, but here's a jumble of what I've been up to lately:
  • I've gotten back to playing Skyward Sword, which is fun, but the control scheme is often more of an annoyance than an improvement.
  • This weekend, watched Sita Sings the Blues (a retelling of the Ramayana set to the music of Annette Hanshaw), an odd (and good) movie that almost didn't get released due to copyright-law brokenness.
  • Delicious brunch at East by Northeast in Inman!
  • Returned a letter to the post office that was misdelivered because they'd confused "St." for "Ave." and my city, state, and country for an entirely different one.
  • Saw Tjani, Dillon Francis, and Nero in concert at the House of Blues. Good stuff, though I think I liked the opening acts better. Big-effects shows can really detract from the music.
  • Squares has been fun lately, when I get the chance to go.
  • Spent all of Monday evening failing v1s and v2s bouldering. My climbing skill has really plateaued, even though I'm getting stronger in some ways.
  • Fitness stuff continues, though I haven't written about that in ages. My big goal lately is to get up to a (back-)squat of two plates (225 lbs.), did six reps of 205 today.
Edit: Corrected weights.
