List of Things while about to get things done at library

Berkeley, Thursday, July 23, 2026 8:11 PM

This is one of the best times of the year, while at Berkeley to write for me. This is because of the temperature. Late fall until around March it gets quite cold at my apartment, which has a toll on the fingers.

I said list of things, because, probably, as usual in here, since about 2020ish, with a few exceptions, I am not going in full detail.

I am writing at the library. My stomach feels heavy. Sometimes one gets into others thoughts or routines and decreases a bit the intensity. Another issue, since other things I have described earlier, and might because of missing a non-realistic deadline (?), or the results of helping others, which regardless have payed off but it is hard for me to fully focus to more than one thing at the time. Not the recent but a few days in prior weeks have not been as active as other prior ones. Might that affected to an increase of about 5 pounds in weight. Still, within a normal BMI, but the belly feels a bit heavy. Walking about 4 miles now. That might be a path, but need to make time for buying the groceries.

The really extremely stupid distraction was the world cup. But someone, now, in that visual media, have listened to a talk or more about the Amazon Basin. Yet, it is of course easy to complain how to connect to the place, while the only way is trough literature and materials. It has been useful.

Found a volley ball on the way to the library. I held for 400 ft or so, but left on a lawn in front of the California Hall.

Things at home are also a bit more quite. Although, need to fulfill several tasks. I also might had an influence, although temporal in some food choices. But back to normal cooking, but need to activate the brain in other areas.

I do trust some of my process and methods towards the final product. And I am back in reviewing the published literature in detail. I do love that. I will see if I can keep up with the daily reading. I am reading, still in the narrated table of contents, John McPhee, Annals of the former world. Next, I will read the first book of that is Basin and Range.

A pimple showed up on my right check diagonal to the nose. Some ribs, a turkey leg, all of those I will continue eating, but it depends the preparation, but particularly some nuts without shell might have caused that, plus the ok weight increase.

Ghirardelli, I am not checking google for the names, have increased its chocolates bar to almost twice in less than two weeks. The price is unrealistic now. There is another brand, which is human or something like that, I do not the name yet. It has a brown paper cover, and chocolate which is usually hazelnut or almonds with chocolate, or other variarities. The problem is that its maximum chocolate power is 70%. At least with with Ghirardelli I consumed 86%, which is still low for the the great 100% pacari, not possible to find in here.

Somehow, it make sense to listen, read, get somehow involved in the politics and policy, while writing about it. Listen a part of congressional hearing. Some of those folks are way too mean. Too the point that it almost seems that part of their role to make feel bad to person called to the hearing. But the thing is that in not being fair, it is quite evident to see or listen. As happen many times, when the accusations are wrong, to make it look good to the person in power and bad to the accused, it is evident who is the one not necessarily looking good.

If one does not live in Washington, there are things that needs to listen or watch to the raw filmed material. That, among others are benefits from a camera. Although, others, are some films, if I might be right. I hope I won’t run out of time to watch the Oddisey.

Reading the opinion reporting is good. But not everything can come from second or third sources. And not everything is news. But politics also play an important role in my research and curiosity interests as well.

I did not go to San Francisco today. I cooked. I expanded a bit on listening the stage win from Richard Carapaz. A guy criticized for being tough to coach, and loved for being a pure bike racing. Many things in life are like that. Although, we are also heavily taught to be obedient. But one needs to resist in many things, and apply common sense.

Anxiety is a disgrace. It is something as well to identify, what for?

The love of building the daily habits and brick by brick, despite quite often others might live there, or have set backs, there is a full satisfaction on the honest construction, not only on the results, understanding the way though. The stupid thing would be stagnation. As Remco Evandopel there are several rythms and powers, but the thing is to arrive, and sometimes is succesful.

On the way, navigating though the internet. Although, I found those things from Brondizo and others from Medina, or something like that, even from Loucks. Good topics, and guidance to relevant readings. The problem is the chaos of a source like youtube, which will try to sell whatever people pay there, for supposedly one interest. Regardless, I think Luis de la Fuente visited with the World Cup Trophy to the media stations. I think he visited COPE and AS. Building virtues is a great thing. That is an excellent gesture. In this world sometimes after wining can be expected to hear from the people on top to silence others with the point finger on the mouth or to dedicate a win to those who did not believe. But the noble and humble gesture to rather acknowledge the work done by the journalist by bringing the trophy to their office is for a standing applause.

There three papers to write, and I am also glad I found a self-reflection journal as well. Getting, somehow, to basic methods, to which I induced some noise for responding and not necessarily treating them with agency, but I will or might get into details to several causations. Plenty of things here.
