<h1>September 29, 2017</h1>
<p id="disclaimer">
  <a href="#disclaimer">#disclaimer</a>: This is a detailed account of
  my day.  If you don't want to read through a bunch of boring
  details, you don't have to read this.  Go read the latest news
  on <a href="https://freepo.st/">Freepost</a>, or something.</p>
<p id="bed">
  Like always, I woke up, made my <a href="#bed">#bed</a>, and got
  dressed.  However, this morning, I had to fix more than the
  comforter, because the plush blanket underneath it was starting to
  become wrinkled.</p>
<p id="breakfast">
  Once I got upstairs, I went to mom's bathroom to brush my teeth and
  comb my hair.  While I was brushing my teeth, I got my oats started
  in the microwave for <a href="#breakfast">#breakfast</a>.</p>
<p id="islam">
  I talked to <samp>refpga</samp> a little bit.  He introduced me to
  <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarek_Fatah">Tarek Fatah</a>,
  a Canadian activist for civil rights and reform
  of <a href="#islam">#islam</a>.  He showed me
  a <a href="#talk">talk</a>
  with Tarek Fatah and how Hindus worship a <a href="#lingam">giant
  black dick</a> while Muslims kiss a <a href="#metalvagina">metal
  vagina</a>.  I didn't believe him, until he showed me.</p>

<p id="roadtrip">
  At around two in the afternoon, Mom asked me if I wanted to go on a
  <a href="#roadtrip">#roadtrip</a> to pick someone up.  I said yes,
  so I might be away for a while.  I hope I get to see my boyfriend,
  but I probably won't.  I brought food and water with me: a Vitamin
  Water bottle full of water, two vegan muffins, and a McDougall
  tortilla soup cup.</p>
<p>
  I returned at around five thirty-two in the afternoon.  During my
  trip, I finished two leftover vegan muffins and wrote down
  a <a href="shoppinglist">grocery list</a> of a few things I've been
  missing on a napkin.</p>
<p id="chalupa">
  While we were on the road, Mom got mad at me for disagreeing with
  her on whehter Taco Bell's <a href="#chalupa">#chalupa</a> had fresh
  or fried pita bread.  She got unusually upset.  It was weird.</p>
<p id="badpun">
  Once I got home, someone and I got into an argument over a bad pun.
  The pun was with <q>deep fried</q> and <q>fries</q>, and I said it
  wasn't funny because fries already use the meaning of <q>deep
  fried</q>, so there's no double meaning and it's not
  funny. <a href="#badpun">#badpun</a></p>
<p>
  It's almost six in the evening.  Man, Mom seems really upset!  I
  don't know why, though.</p>
<p id="dinner">
  At six thirty-five, I made beans for burritos/tacos
  for <a href="#dinner">#dinner</a>.  I emptied two cans of Taco Bell
  fat-free vegetarian refried beans and a whole package of taco
  seasoning into a storage container and microwaved it for three
  minutes with the lid over it.  I had it in a white flour tortilla
  with salsa, because that's all I had.</p>
<p>
  It took an hour or more to upload a video to my MediaGoblin
  account.</p>
<p id="LaTeX">
  I rewrote my résumé from <a href="texresume/Caleb_H._Resume.pdf">the
  original word processor document</a> to a
  new <a href="#LaTeX">#LaTeX</a> format.  I tried two
  templates, <a href="texresume/res2.pdf"><samp>res2</samp></a>
  and <a href="texresume/res9a.pdf"><samp>res9a</samp></a>.  I chose
  to go with the latter.</p>
<p>
  <a href="https://mcmackins.org/">Zerock</a> showed me a funny
  picture.</p>

<p id="melbourne">
  An Australian and I are trying to figure out exactly how we both
  pronounce the word <a href="#melbourne">#melbourne</a>.  He
  pronounced it /'mɛlbən/, and I pronounced it /'mɛl'bɔɹn/.  I'm still
  wondering if he only stresses the first syllable, or if he also
  sometimes pronounces it /'mɛl'bə:n/.  It turned out that he only
  pronounces it /'mɛlbən/, and that the other pronunciation is too
  British-sounding.</p>
<p>
  Someone sent me a funny image:</p>

<p id="arbys">
  Someone showed me a cool piece of calligraphy using an unusual tool:
a ketchup packet.  (Well, it's an Arby's sauce packet, but that's not
important.  <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/61moqn/can_arbys_stop_putting_their_weirdly_rude/">Arby's
is extremely rude</a>, anyway.
  Forget <a href="#arbys">#arbys</a>.)</p>

<p>
  Huh.  It seems that there's
  a <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/tor-browser-75a5-released">new
    Tor Browser release</a>.</p>
<p>
  I found a vegan Indian cookbook at
  the <a href="http://xfmro77i3lixucja.onion/book/kRa1UXPhpXatxWXe">Imperial
  Library of Trantor</a>, on Tor.  It's a well-designed site with lots
  of books.  Very nice!</p>
<p>
  While listening to TJ Kirk's video "1984 vs. 2013", I learned about
  the existence of
  the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_syphilis_experiment">Tuskegee
  experiments</a>.  I also watched his video in support of 6 year old
  girl Coy Mathis, a trans kid.</p>
<p>
  Another one of TJ's videos mentions the first bi female atheist
  member of Congress, who I noticed is very beautiful.</p>

<p id="nathan">
  I just realized: I haven't seen Nathan in a long time.  I wonder
  when I <em>could</em> see him.  Maybe we can get together with
  family around our birthdays.</p>

    doesn't Justin Bieber look Canadian in South Park?</a></p>
<p>
  Now that it's way too late (4am) and I'm thoroughly disappointed in
  my inability to have a good schedule, I will now go to sleep.</p>
