The stages of photography, so far:
1) Get a great camera as a gift (after expressing interest in owning a camera).
2) Realize that lenses are different things and that some of the things you want to photograph can't be done with a 45mm lens.
3) Do research on lenses.

Human emotions are complicated things, but it still twigs me a bit when a book sets up the "You don't understand, I am the worst, I am trash as a human being, etc," and it's very obviously that the character was just trying to make the best of a bad situation. /

I am thinking of picking back up embroidery. Considered a few of my options, including the suspicious brown paper bag, and was like "Oh, sampler, sure!" then started reading the directions and discovered it was complicated. Like, "I'm not even sure how to do this" complicated.

Being in a country where many announcements are delivered in both my native language and the country's language is interesting because not everything is in both. Sometimes it's something like "customers are reminded not to X" only in my native language, which always feels a little embarrassing /

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

It really drives me crazy how Facebook sends emails that show parts of the relevant post in the preview but those words are nowhere visible in the email. It's the slimiest damn thing.

The only problem with packing things carefully for shipping is that you also need to unpack them. Also, in Japan there's the trash rules to consider, too...

"It's weird this veggie stick pack has paper in it, but there are enough here that it seems to be a reasonable amount anyway..."
It wasn't paper, it was cut cabbage leaves. ...not exactly what I expected for a pack of veggies with dip but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"I wonder how many words I have in my random writing folder?"
(This is the project folder I use when I really, really don't want to work on my current novel but can still write my quota.)
52,910 words.
... That's a lot of words.
