Day 3 of green liquid shitting continues. WOOOOOO. 🎉

Yesterday was very much a run of the mill day. I made some more progress with Liveview/Phoenix/Elixir and I’m getting more across it now. There are a few things that aren’t quite clear to me yet on what I need to do, but I think I’m learning enough now to begin to ask the right questions.

For example and assuming I understand this correctly then using components I need to assign a Liveview socket to the sidebar so I can get the active/current “liveview” path. This way I can value match on the path and show the “active” link for the current socket/liveview. I don’t know how to do that yet, but at least I have some clarity of where to look now.

I also made a first run attempt at Blender yesterday. Its become painfully obvious I need a mouse to do this properly but the lack of mousepads and mouse-compatible surfaces in the house have completely blown any chance of that happening. I ordered a really large rollup mousepad and am hoping it gets delivered today - they said it will be here by 2pm which is awesome. Thinking this through now it will make my work easier with not only blender (or make it possible I guess), but also with the video editing I intend to start doing.

As an aside I think being sick has made me eat way too much. It may be a result of not having any alcohol/carbs for 4 days also. It’s weird - I’m super tired, shitting liquid and covered in pimples. I’m guessing that super tired and shitting liquid are related, but the whole covered in pimples thing is news to me.

Jonathon the tiger came around at 8pm to pay me yesterday, but of course he was short. He bought a bag of cocaine and offered it as a stop gap, but I told him now to worry and instead to come back when he has the full balance. He asked me to hold $80 for him so he wouldn’t spend it and could get his ID card tomorrow - I flat out said no, you’re an adult. He got pissed and said some shit like “I’d do it for you if you asked me to, but I guess thats the type of person I am”. To say I was pissed was an understatement - cunt I’ve already loaned you money, you haven’t paid it back and you’re a grown adult and I’m not taking responsibility for you.

He wasn’t happy and stormed out. Fuck off.
