I'm continuing to expand my stereo with old separates, the rule is they need to be brushed metal, pre-90s and have unnecessarily awesome controls. Here's my new old radio now playing Mahler's 7th live. Just got to the bit where everyone is allowed to cough for a while

I might still hit the deadline for this book. It features a raven with a camera. I got ten more days for 23 pictures and only a few of them are crowd scenes and I only got one other book to edit at the same time and I guess a few videos and

Unexpectedly found a printout of my favourite picture of myself, back when I was good at cutting my own hair but permanently tired out from panic attacks. I stuck it on the blackboard that I just screwed to the door here. Successful day

Got a new (old) tape deck and it's perfect. Spent the evening listening to tapes, some of them sounded sub aquatic with age. Very happy.
(Also yes my turntable is sitting on a slice of tennis ball, lost a foot somehow.)

Spent Sunday with a friend tearing down old wallpaper and having brunch with a starling instead of doing admin because IT WAS NECESSARY. Then I wrote an important official letter twice and that's ENOUGH.

Ew no duckduckgo AI generated image filter was turned off on my phone and I need a little break to recover from this reference image search for walnut shells. Anyway - you can turn that filter on in the settings.

If you are going to fold a bunch of paper in half, you could staple it - or do a three hole binding, or pamphlet stitch, the best thing I ever learned when visiting a bookbinder's as a student.
