Already worn out from trying to sleep and making myself eat and forcing myself to get up and now I’m supposed to ”start the day” fuck me

the good news is that after weeks of trying I finally figured out how to hook up an old hard drive from a dead computer to a living one the bad news is that the old hard drive is just sort of pretending like a bunch of files aren't there so I still can't recover them awesome

aftertaste is...unpleasantly robust

"I could use a cup of tea" every three hours or so; is that because the cup is only large enough to hold the contents of a muskrat's bladder Seems like a dishwashing nightmare

did they have other mugs for when they wanted to actually drink a decent amount of liquid or...is this why every book I read set in the UK has people constantly needing infinite cups of tea

oh! how clever meanwhile this hot chocolate is...far too concentrated :p

They are mugs for when you have to drink something warm or caffeinated but you definitely want to ingest as little of it as humanly possible

As I get more into the “warm drinks“ game, I increasingly come up against the problem that most of the mugs I own were inherited from my grandparents, and whatever they were drinking in those mugs either tasted like ass or were straight up espresso shots cos they are absofuckinglutely tiny

yes, makes sense. It's just...this is why I'm currently listening to an audiobook I am halfway through and still only marginally interested in, content-wise ;) oh well. it sounds lovely

Underglaze test horse. Glad the colours turned out as hoped. This is the second ceramic horse I've made, but the air drying clay ones must number over a hundred by now 🤔

Ceramic figure of a horse stood in a neutral pose with head bowed. Inspired by Lascaux, the body is yellow ochre with a red-brown head and neck, a white underside, and black legs, tail, mane, and two shoulder stripes.

and yet I’m probably not going to stop doing that because first thing in the morning is the best time to do almost anything I like to do. not sure how to reconcile that one

a truth that I have been avoiding is that it has been a while since I was a morning person. if I plan to “wake up early” and do something that means there’s a 90 % chance I’m not going to do it

What we seriously need is adult TAG programs, or something like them. One a week, go to a place where someone teaches us a new hobby-type skill, gives us a new “learning toy”, or lets us compete in a random challenge in little teams. Like a facilitated makerspace.

I mean yes, and there are a lot of narrators I've been perfectly happy with, but then there's...seeking out books specifically because they're narrated by a particular person? Idk. Just not a common thing that comes up in conversation ;)

it is fine and normal that I have a favorite audiobook narrator

A few times in books now I've come across a word I didn't know -- "gurning." From context I assumed it meant something like "mugging" (like, pulling a face) but I decided to finally look it up and... y'all there are competitions. There are *world championships* www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gj1...

They’re trying to close the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philly (or The Dinosaur Museum as it was known in my house when my kid was little.) Here’s a thread with a simple way to help keep it open. It’s been around since 1812 for goodness sake!

(PS. this is a brief paraphrasing of the first page or so from Ring the Bells, book 6 of the Stranger Times series by C.K. McDonnell, which I have been enjoying tremendously. I would recommend starting with the first book tho (The Stranger Times) and going from there)
