I preordered Jupiter Winter’s debut lp that’s slated for release next year, and immediately got digital access as a perk. It’s an interesting way to put out an album, and I like it! V much looking forward to getting my copy on vinyl in a few months 🪐

My kid’s reaction to me explaining the English localization of Pokémon where they had Brock calling onigiri “jelly donuts” really brings home how absurd some of the 4Kids translation choices were 🥴😂

Cannons night, plus my Mother’s Day gift, a few days early 🥹👌 #nowspinning

Hoo boy. I had some cassettes, but I can’t for the life of me remember any of them other than *NSYNC’s debut. My grandma got me my fist cd though, Hanson’s Live from Albertane. She was so proud of herself, and tbf I remember feeling like I was listening to the pinnacle of music 👌

Less trash, more sparkles 👌

Halley’s arm is outstretched and has a temporary Grumpy Cat tattoo on it.

Coupla blocked crochet projects that I can’t post on my other socials because they’re gifts for later on. The sais and Raphael mask are for my brother, who is turning 37 next week and insisted on being called Raphael for a chunk of our childhood 😂

A red crocheted red Ninja Turtle Raphael mask sits on the counter with two model sais, which Halley purchased off EBay.

Garden update. The pomegranate flowers were a HUGE but definitely appreciated surprise.

A cluster of pale pink pineberries are growing at the base of Halley’s pineberry plant.

One of the best experiences ever 🙏 Snatched up some VIP tickets to The Midnight (my favorite) and finally got to go last night. Tyler was a gem, the soundcheck was incredible, what a SHOW. Was super impressed with their opener too. New Constellations is amazing! #themidnight #newconstellations

100% forgot I ordered Thanks in Advance, so coming home to it (and on a bad brain day of all the days) was such a rad feeling. I have an irrational love of Ollie Wride- ordering the most recent vinyl pressing was a no brainer. #nowspinning #vinyl #olliewride #synth

The fifth pressing of Thanks in Advance by Ollie Wride is being held out in Halley’s hand. The cover is black and white and features Ollie in a desert. The text naming the album is yellow cursive.

Once I took him to the vet and she asked what his favorite snacks were, and then looked at me like I’d grown a second head when I told her he likes veggies and lots of fruits 🥴 He likes dog treats too and LOVES chicken, but my dude is also obsessed with rabbit food 🐰

My coworkers tell me that hyperfixation can be a symptom of ADHD 😬 I’m on my second one pound ball of yarn in 48 hours and my hands are so sore. Gonna, you know, try and give it a rest. Def better than stimming by messing with my cuticles, but still not ideal. Regulation is rad tho.

As an aside, my child hates it when I purchase new records because I require a single listen immediately after I get them and he’s not allowed to watch anything on tv while I’m enjoying them (everything is in that room) 😂 To his credit, he goes with it but ALSO checks the record player constantly.

Today’s acquisitions from Gray Cat Records. Two of my absolute favorites, these have both been on my must own list from day 1. Aeroplane brings me the most distinct memories, and Dreaming is just a damn masterpiece. #vinyl #nowspinning #m83 #neutralmilkhotel

Halley holds out two records she purchased from the record store today; Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming by M83 and The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel.

Books 3+4 of the year 📚💙 Emily St. John Mandel just forever has my heart, and though it was a slow start it was still a 10/10 experience. The School for Good Mothers left me hugging my kiddo extra tight and gave me lots to ruminate on. #booksky #theglasshotel #theschoolforgoodmothers

Halley holds up a paperback copy of The Glass Hotel by Emily St John Mandel against a foggy lake. The fog in the back is similar to the fog in the photo.

Halley has propped up a library copy of The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan against her hoodie for the day, a maroon sweater that features librarian Augusta Baker. Also behind the items is a folder pair of jeans with a multicolored beaded necklace resting on top. All items are on top of sheets patterned with blue and green ornate shapes.

Second book of the year, and while it wasn’t my favorite it definitely brought me somewhere new. I want to bring attention to the first story, The Gentleman from Peru, for exactly the amount of nostalgic sadness I needed 📚💙 #roomonthesea #andreaciman #microbookreview

A library copy of Andre Aciman’s collection of novellas, Room on the Sea. Surrounding it are corners if these items: some yarn in a bowl shared with a crochet hook, two crocheted hexagons in yellow and Orange, a Nintendo Switch case for Eastward (a video game) and some beats headphones.

Finished the base panels for the crocheted granny square top/vest I’ve been making over the last few weeks. I suspect I’m going to want to add more length just for my own preferences, but I’m pretty happy with it so far! Not sure if I’m supposed to block before sewing or not.

I absolutely adore Stegonaute’s first full length album. Thankful to have preordered so many months in advance- I had no idea it would be such a limited printing!

Halley holds up a vinyl copy of Stegonaute’s self titled first album. It features an illustration of a man on a moonlike, or perhaps arctic landscape with his back to the viewer. It is night out, and the man is looking through a door that shows a sunlit sea inside of it. The light shines out through the door.

I am tired and thankful for small breaks from the world at large.

A picture of the inside of Halley’s journal. It’s a quote from Hunter S Thompson, mostly drawn in brown bubble letters. It says “We have become nazi monsters in the eyes of the whole world- a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts.”

Only about 30 pages left in my current journal. This is gonna be a tough decision.

Two journals, both from Notebook Therapy, are lined up on Halley’s desk. One is a bit smaller, and has a slightly fuzzy forest green cover with golden mushroom and fern details. The other, the larger of the two, is dark blue and features a holographic teacup with galaxies floating inside.

What do you think would happen if I texted this number? 🤔

Halley’s hand is holding a paper insert from a Metric cd she purchased over 15 years ago. The insert, clearly very dated, explains you can purchase Metric ringtones for $2.99 each. Behind her is the cd book she’s been organizing for the last few days, with all four slots holding Metric cd’s.

Typically I won’t purchase singles on vinyl, but as Oh My God won’t be on the LP and because I love Jupiter Winter a stupid amount and want to support them, AND because it’s my anxiety anthem I still have 0 regrets. #nowspinning #jupiterwinter #vinyl

A 45 of Jupiter Winter’s two singles, “Oh My God” and “We Are Not Machines” spins on her turntable, with the sleeve sitting nearby. The 45 is clear with pink and purple splatter, and the cover features a closeup of singer Lelia Broussard with her hands on her face. Her eyes are closed, and the background matches the pink and purple splatter on the vinyl.

This hair dye brings me a stupid amount of joy; it fades so delightfully, hardly bleeds when it’s fresh, and holds better than any dye I’ve ever used. I meant to try different colors when I started again, but never moved past it. I will be devastated if Good Dye Young ever stops making Kowabunga.
