Abraham Kim last shared their writing George Baker enters the cafe
George Baker noticed the ding only after the door had closed behind him. That was an anomoly, he thought. Most of these store door bells dinged upon opening. He turned back to look up at the bell that was stuck onto the side of the door rather than hanging from...

Getting along -- part 1

The computer lab was tucked in the basement of Student Administration. The Office of Financial Aid needed us nearby so they could peak in at anytime, but at the same time they didn't want the public eye to be able to see what was on our screens. For obvious reasons...

Nothing has changed

During my twenties I half-feared my love of reading. Some weeks I would dive deep into a book. Elation on Monday without the guilt. I could still write the rest of the week. Plus as a writer you were supposed to take days off to read. Get inspired.

With each passing...

I've now found a reason to write on Lifelog!

I was writing today's post about my practice session today, and I realized that I could write about my practice with Tennis on Lifelog . I noticed that I was trying to outline my progress and observations on here but it didn't fit with the usual stuff I write here....

How to get a date

Tennis
Untitled Shared at Jul 12, 2021

A few weeks ago I chose tennis as a longterm hobby. I want to play for fun, but I also want to get really good -- good enough that I'll be able to play with the best recreational players in my city within a few years.

The start to this...

A good job

My first job after I quit writing was in a call center for the university here. Each year, just before the fall semester right when the first minimum payment to attend was due, the office of financial aid got flooded by calls. The office didn't have the enough people to...

Pablo

Growing up I frequently heard people derisively describe Picasso's later paintings as things kids could've created. I also thought this of his later paintings but I never downplayed Pablo himself because I knew he wasn't a fluke. His early works featured photorealistic drawings of human hands, this is the type...

Summer of Ember
Untitled Shared at Jul 08, 2021

In the nine months leading up to COVID smashing the U.S, I was part of a mental-health startup. We were trying to create tools to lower the barrier into support group organization. We imagined a world where it was as easy to organize and operate a support group as it...

When we brag

You might say we brag about things we have that are good that others don't have. But last night I suddenly realized that we actually don't brag about things we have, subjectively. When we brag about something, we subjectively can't believe that we actually have it.
