Overnight bus home later tonight. I'm kinda dead tired, but I have an almost complete inability to sleep in moving vehicles and it's likely to be crazy busy too, so not looking forward to it at all.

This year, I'm not making any resolutions. What I am doing is making a deal with myself:
I will give myself the time and the space to reset. To try new things. To catch up with old friends again, or go and make new ones.
I should also see if going to CCCT is still possible, actually.

So, last night I finally watched DnD Honor among thieves.
It was... fine, I guess? I mean, it wasn't terrible, but it feels like a movie that wants the payoff for a deep, powerfully emotional plot without actually having such a plot.

My parents have never seen The Princess Bride. We've been watching movies every other day this holiday, and they weren't much interested in any of them. For this one, my mom is actually on the edge of her seat and my dad's chuckling. I wasn't expecting this.

Not going to lie, I've been obsessed with X-Plane 12 in the down-time recently. It's admittedly kind of a love-hate relationship, but reading about how piston-planes work has been... interesting.

Just went to a shell museum, and it was honestly absolutely astonishing. Daaaaang! So many molluscs. Apparently octopi also make shells sometimes, the Paper Nautilus shells. They're technically for protection of their eggs, but SO COOL!

Wait, no, deleted that. I wanna make sure of the facts first, and I feel one of those months-long rabbit-hole dodging sessions in the Forest of All Knowledge coming on.

Ah, yes, AI generated YT short. Of course Newton would get a simple maths problem wrong that Einstein could get right. I mean, it's not like Newton co-invented? Independantly discovered? Whatevered... Calculus or anything.
Oh wait....
