Found, at a book sale. Sadly there isn’t time to indulge in an old alt historical fantasy classic. I’ve still got a lot on my plate.

Hobby break. It took a long time before I could carve out a space for building and painting these little folks. Still a far cry from a box art quality job, but the process calms me.

Hobby break in between illustrations, production work and baking for the masses. I took the day to not think about bread or my aching shoulder and arm. I’ll be at the kneading machine later tonight, as per usual. Happy with the WIP so far.

I have generous classmates. I’d been asked to assist with a film workshop on our old stomping grounds. It wasn’t much: just hold a camera and point it at the lecturer. But it was exactly what I needed. I’m still half a zombie, but there’s a spring in my step now.

I’ve been putting reading this off for years, mainly bec reading the (free) online copy off a screen is exhausting. I think I may have bitten off more than I could chew. This… this is a lot. Esp if I want to not talk out of my ass.

Went to an old haunt, to paint. Only, I’d spent the entire night awake making bread, then the morning following up on paperwork. I gassed out after 3 hours trying to make a seascape look less stylized than the reference was. To my shame I had to ask to take the painting home, unfinished.

Hotdogs, corn, peas, carrots, cabbage, one egg, and one packet of Korean instant noodles. Sadly there was no tofu. I’d been hankering for some soup these past few days but there was none to be had. I had to make do with this abomination.

Learn something new every day. I found out I don’t particularly care for kombucha.

Little guy sidled up to me begging me for scraps. Didn’t have the heart to completely say no.

Favorite barber shop was close enough to my old stomping grounds, so I decided to pay the university a visit. I miss just walking the campus streets with the Best Girl and my college friends. We were growing into our better selves. Everything was more hopeful then, choices were simpler.

The reward of a moral life for Humans on Middle-Earth is the prospect of a better life in a better place outside of it. This is the point that Thiel keeps missing in his attempts to extend his life on Earth indefinitely. /4

I happen to appreciate a certain level of swank. It clears the head, gives me a little comfort while I reluctantly witness the witless facilitating the wins of authoritarian wannabes.
One day my nephew or nieces will ask me questions I’ll be hard pressed to answer.

Found atop the walkway to the commercial center near my old university. The place has been a boon to the local economy, but its sheer swank is— or at least can be read as— an insult to the poor living relatively nearby.

I should spend more time in cafés. The time I’m away from bread making feels so good. I can just relax and let the mind wander. The next time me I’m here, I’m bringing a notebook.

I’m sorry to be so spammy, but I found a store near where my family was having dinner that was hosting a bunch of Gashapon machines. I paid for 5 tokens and got myself a plastic… something… in a translucent green ball. A little bit of Japan at home. Makes me nostalgic for when I was last there.

Head-scratcher: Why do I have notes about plutonium on my phone? What was I working on in ‘22? Act of terror? Probably not. A story? Most likely. It’s just I can’t remember anything about it!

Dinner with the family. We should hold onto these moments of sanity while we can. Be safe, friends and peers on Bluesky.

I sank my funds into gold coins! (Only, why are they brown and crumbly on the inside when I bite into them?) I… I think I may have been scammed. 🤣

Trying something new while I’m somehow still awake and the bread is rising. Now or never.

Comfort food. I don’t have the time to prep Elixir of Old Socks (miso soup) the old fashioned way, so I’m going the instant route.

I hadda deal with this, outside and some of it that made its way into the bakery. I am still cleaning up, attacking the task piecemeal.
