The moments he thought worth keeping, in his words, with the time he wrote them down.

1. 21:39

   stopped on the high street and stared at the bakery’s freshly painted shutters

2. 22:04

   foraged at McDonald's for a big burger and fries fast

   "Starving, need a big burger and fries fast"

3. 22:44

   watched a spider crawl on a leaf and read an article about spider taste

   "Watched spider crawl on leaf."

4. 23:16

   sprayed graffiti, the spray landed right and a meteor rocket jumped out, kiwi bubble floated on top

   "It went smooth, the spray landed just right and the new meteor rocket jumps out, the kiwi bubble floated on top."

5. 23:20

   ate a pale mushroom, the edges of things started to run, saw a rope swinging over a pond

   "Ate one of the pale mushrooms. The edges of things have started to run."

I started the day mildly upbeat, then a dip when hunger drove me to a midnight burger run. The spider article and a perfect spray lifted my spirits, and the mushroom trip left me oddly unsettled before the world settled back into its usual colours.

This was one day. He is in the middle of another one.
