album of the day: Zooropa by U2. for when you really need to be back on your bullshit, goddamn this album fucks I love it so much y’all

Cover art. Doodle of a large baby head in an astronaut helmet surrounded by glitchy yellow stars reminiscent of the EU flag. Background is a mess of tv screens and words so glitched out they’re impossible to read

album of the day: Collapse Into Now by R.E.M. for when the slightest bit of finesse might have made a little less mess

Cover art. Black and white photo of three white men, one in front and two behind. The one in front has his left hand raised in the air. The photo is overexposed, showing very little gray. Yellow and black shapes and stripes make up the rest of the art, with the album title in large heavy black capitals behind the photo.

I would really like to stay up and see totality, it’s so cool looking at OUR OWN SHADOW on the FRICKIN MOON, but my setup is bad and my photos are garbage

An orangish blob in a black field. It’s the moon I swear. This is the best one I’ve taken so far.

album of the day: Document by R.E.M. for when your shitty week could stand to be a little weirder

album cover art. mostly a black and white photograph that might be a collage? I’m not sure what’s going on in this picture. there’s a person, and a large shed maybe, and a bunch of what looks like junk, and sideways trees with no leaves. a vertical quarter of the cover is an abstract in sepia tones with “R.E.M. NO.” above an inverted triangle with a 5 inside it.

album of the day: Reveal by R.E.M. for when it’s inexplicably 75F/24C on March 30th

The cover of Reveal. The title and artist are in large, white, italicized text with orange and black shadows. There is a large orange circle over the M of “R.E.M.” A yellow stripe is at the top with the track listing in tiny black text at the left, and below it is a photograph of a field with a hill behind it. The top of the hill is cut off by the yellow stripe. In the foreground of the field is the shadow of a man, presumably taking the photo. Everything is very yellow toned.

album of the day: Breakfast In America by Supertramp. for when your local diner has been “discovered” by west siders

Album cover of Breakfast In America. A plump, middle aged, smiling woman in a yellow diner waitress uniform holds a small platter with a glass of orange juice on it high above her head. A menu with the album title is in her other arm. In the background is a city resembling lower Manhattan made of wooden blocks rising from misty water, all at a Dutch angle. The entire scene is framed by an airplane window.

haha, the chancellor cancelled classes tomorrow because of cold as fuck, but

Only classes are canceled. All other campus operations will continue as normal.

Employees are expected to report to work as scheduled. If an employee’s ability to report to work is impacted by the weather, employees should not notify their supervisors and make alternative work arrangements or use leave time depending on the situation.

look at this cool ass mug my aunt gave me! this thing is cool as hell!

A handmade pottery mug glazed in greens, blues, and purples. It is slightly flared at the rim and widens again at the base.

The same mug. It’s entirely purple on the inside. The handle is sort of indented into the body of the mug? I don’t know how to describe this. My fingers fit in the indentation so they’re basically inside the mug, and my thumb is on the outside. It’s so cool.

finally finished the Welsh course after three years (messed around with other languages too), and… that’s it? no confetti, nothing? jeez

The screen duolingo shows you when you complete a course: six practice module circles surrounding a green owl reading a book. you just finished a whole course, you’d think there’s be at least a little fanfare, but no.
