The Things Left Untouched

It's midnight. I have so many entries left untouched, and at some point I'll have to go back and fill them in. But a part of me doesn't want to. Maybe it's afraid of what radical reflection would actually bring up. So I just… left it there. And a part of me feels incomplete because of it.

But it is what it is.

Today was the second day of New York, and I mostly wasted it — working and gaming, not really getting out or meeting up with my sister or anything. I did make it to the UN headquarters though. Went through the whole trouble of getting in, looked at the exhibitions. There's a $29 tour inside but I didn't do it. I did spend time at the exhibit about nuclear weapons, and yeah. It was heavy. Looking at what the Japanese locals actually experienced — the photographs, the artifacts, the scale of it — was one of those things that just quietly sits in you for the rest of the day.

I made some real progress on the app, even if it still feels so far. I'm still working through the spiritual victory system right now, but today there was an overhaul and it's finally getting closer to something anthropologically accurate. That feels good. That's the kind of progress that actually matters — not just features, but getting the underlying logic right.

I had a hard time waking up this morning. My body clearly needs the sleep. So I should just go get it.

Goodnight.
