Trying out the mic with the QuickTime, but the Notes application won’t use the Shure MV7+ as input. How did it all sound yesterday? This new MacBook is rather bass-y.
Workout in, but barely! 7.02km in 1 hr 6 min 56 sec. 54 pull ups total, double that for push ups, triple for squats. Felt rough the entire time… like just slow.
No deadlifts as I had an idea… to go to Tianjin, but then I realized I had no room on my cameras. Sooo… had to transfer footage. But this does go along the lines of my adventure travel videos. Thinking… what else could I do?
Why Tianjin? Well, the latest vlog I posted, someone suggested I should just get on the train and go somewhere. Tianjin’s the closest.
Reading DuZhe 读者, a magazine for students or young people. I guess it’s one of those “wholesome” publications that tries to instil good ideas in people’s heads rather than others (eg, comics).

Chinese stocks sure not moving the way I thought they would back in December. Gold is up but is still in a downtrend.
