+;@@title: Paper airplane day and two fire alarms@@
+;@@date: 2022-05-26@@
+
+Apparently, today is National Paper Airplane Day, so we had a little paper
+airplane contest at work.  It was quite fun, though my go-to airplane style
+didn't win over the YouTube-d and other "professionally"-done airplanes.
+
+We also had a potluck with my department and another, and in preparation the
+ovens set off two fire alarms.  The first was totally charred french bread and
+the second was some drippings that were left on foil in the oven for who knows
+how long.  Quite annoying, but the potluck turned out quite well!
+
+I've also sold my desk as we prepare for our move, and I'm looking at others.
+Thinking an Ikea number, maybe.
+
+I'm back on <code>nyan-mode</code> in my mode-line.  Oh, I need to remember the
+<code>actually-selected-window</code> package, which I wrote I belive
+<em>for</em> <code>nyan-mode</code>!  I'll do that when I'm done here.
+
+I also wrote a little function to make it easier to post on this blog.  Here it
+is:
+
+```
+(defun blog-post (title &optional date)
+  "Make a new blog post, with TITLE on DATE."
+  (interactive (list (read-string "Title: ")
+                     (format-time-string "%F")))
+  (let ((blog-directory (expand-file-name "~/src/hat-trick/src/"))
+        (metadata-format ";@@%s: %s@@\n")
+        (slug (string-trim (downcase (replace-regexp-in-string "[^[:alnum:]]"
+                                                               "-" title))
+                           "-" "-")))
+    (find-file (expand-file-name (concat slug ".ht") blog-directory))
+    (insert (format metadata-format "title" title))
+    (when date
+      (insert (format metadata-format "date" date)))
+    (insert "\n")))
+```
+
+I think the next thing I should do is make a major-mode ... or maybe I should
+just use <code>web-mode</code>....
+
+And of course, I need to update the syntax of these .ht files.  They're
+<em>okay</em>, but I think I could improve them in a few ways.  Not that I've
+figured out what those ways are, lol.

+Wow, this was a long one!  That's good, I spose :)
