Slept form two to eight.
Meant to go back to sleep, but spent several hours playing games on the iPad (mostly Card Crawl).
High of eighty-five and partly sunny today.
Goals:
- Download Toyota manuals
Done.
- Touch-up Zerapis doc, add metal/swords-and-sorcery "Cerberus" god section (maybe called "The Hound of the Dead" or just "The Hound")
Took a short walk around sunset.
It had rained earlier, and felt cooler.
Pink-orange and purple-gray sunset.
Me paraphrasing Patrick Stuart paraphrasing Melan [Gabor Lux] and Bryce Lynch: do very traditional things, but carve the sheen of irony and familiarity off them, and present them with intensity and vividness, as if new. That was a way of thinking about them, creating a sense of newness — activation in the brain, where you wake up and think, "something's really happening now, I need to be awake and pay attention."

> Euphorion of Chalcis (3rd century BC) describes Cerberus as having multiple snake tails, and eyes that flashed, like sparks from a blacksmith's forge, or the volcaninc Mount Etna.[101] From Euphorion, also comes the first mention of a story which told that at Heraclea Pontica, where Cerberus was brought out of the underworld, by Heracles, Cerberus "vomited bile" from which the poisonous aconite plant grew up.
