Quick status updates not unlike what you’d post to social media channels like Twitter (X).
My hands were fidgeting so I decided to print and cut out sprites for my planned Shadowbox. Cutting out something so small (Brunei 10 cent coin for size comparison) was a surprising challenge I did not foresee. Ignore Link’s tunic colour, my printer needs a Blue refill.
As recently as 10 years ago I’d snicker anytime a TV show or movie zoomed in on a photo/video – without loss in quality – to identify an important clue. Given how much technology has advanced since then including generative AI, I’m no longer laughing.
I suppose one of the unintended effects of having holidays bunch up together is that work gets pushed back meaning it all needs attending to at the same time 😅
First time cooking chicken in a Thermomix. It was a delicious success! 🤤
Lovely book about moving forward and the people who help us through. I sadly cannot remember much about the first book because I read it amidst a sea of other books.
In my own way, I was an unhappy child. Or rather, maybe I should say I was far more troubled in childhood than I was after I became an adult. I think it’s partly because I was an only child and an introvert, and I didn’t get to spend much time with my parents since they were both busy working. It’s also because I wasn’t able to properly deal with the anxiety and sadness I felt.
Since I couldn’t talk to anyone about this, I couldn’t find a way out of my problems, and little by little the sadness inside me grew until it felt like a massive balloon pressing down on me every night when I got into bed. Of course, it was always about childish things. They all seem trivial when I took back on them now. Like when I got depressed thinking about having to take a test in gym class right after summer break to see whether I could spin backward over the playground bars. Or when I heard a rumor that people buried dead bodies under cherry trees, and became afraid of the cherry tree in my backyard…
More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop
TIL there are 2 apps called mouseless: one by HangBoss and one by Sonuscape. Both appear to function the same way. I’m trying out HangBoss’ because Sonuscape doesn’t have a Windows version yet (though a beta is set to release on 7 April). I’m enjoying it so far but I do find myself still reaching for the mouse on reflex.
I’m updating the status of some documents and for the first time in about 2 decades I need to provide a certified copy of my Cambridge GCE A Level results. What a throwback to my skinnier days.
Sometimes you just have to make that Hail Mary shot and hope for the best. That way I can honestly say that at least I tried 🙂
