d^ng, should i stack them or orient the new one portraiture. it's not a curved display, so stacking would look super clean.
i think i'm going to stack them tbh. they're both the same physical dimensions and identical resolutions, so it's not like they'll clash.

today is the day. i had to leave work early because i started sweating profusely w a terrible headache, so i said fuck that and contacted my superior and took off. i took a migraine pill (-triptan) and took a cold shower.
w as little as i spent on it, i will take anything as long as it's new and displays a picture.

i may or may not have bought a monitor (display). i wanted a bigger ultrawide to be oriented portrait, so i had no lofty expectations. i picked up the most inexpensive solution and i need no frills w this one.

i took like two (2) 1h naps and a 9h overnight sleep, much needed.
update: i got like only 1h of sleep for the first time in a very long time so i got demolished. i'm not used to being sleep deprived, so it's likely i get knocked out again.

i had three (3) glasses of delirium "noël" and i was off my fucking ass. 10%abv for a beer. i have never tasted a beer so smooth and elegant as that one. it just flowed right down as i drank it out of a chilled glass; no bitterness, just the taste of heaven.
ill never drink another beer.

instead of a $41 payment, it's $109, and while i don't mind it, it would hit my account hard.
tonite i'm pulling up to the bar ("bar") w the boys and while i was wary about spending on drinks, now im good to have a few.

i can put spinfits on my powerbeats that i use for work. so much of a better seal on the ear. yeah, theres a hook, but the sound isolation is amplified.

i like the sound of the cirrus logic DAC chip in the Q11; it's a very different kind of output.
i'm under headphones (rather monitors) for the first time in weeks. wasn't feeling music too much lately. at least i charged all my devices, so i'll swap them out throughout the day.
