I made some mnml related updates to both the theme and archive by year plugin that alphabetizes archive page categories and adds better styling for the archive year select menu.

⌚️ Today’s wrist check and new daily driver, picked up over the weekend. The Seiko 5 SRPG39. A touch smaller than what I’m used to, but it’s growing on me. I think I need a better NATO band though. This one’s kind of wimpy.

I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of dumb watches lately. Today’s wrist check from my very small collection is the Bulova New American Clipper style automatic 96C130. Classic and simple for my minimalist tastes.

I had an English Literature teacher my senior year of high school named King Wisdom (no joke!) who’s class you could pass by bringing him Rolos. Also, not a lie. I did not bring him Rolos, but think of him every time I have them myself.
Two individually wrapped Rolo candies are placed on a light surface.

📷 A stroll along the river (or what we call a river in SoCal anyway) at lunch, deep in thought. I almost didn’t come back.
