listening

• A Hell of My Own (Sniz Banquette): some noise, baby. found I think by the artist following my neocities page? lofi in the physicality sense not the genre. favorite tracks: Opt Out, Haunted House
• The Only Way Out (Aviator): standard fare for metal. favorite tracks: Street Blade, The Only Way Out
• Godless (Damage): more very standard fare. bounced off of this one a little more.
• Blistering (Salivus): ditto.
  
  

  reading

• noticed that my grandma had a copy of "Annihilation" by Jeff Vandermeer (she said she bounced off of it, which does not surprise me, she is more of a traditional murder mystery girlie), she said I could take it home to read and then I annihilated (ha) it in like 4 hours! it was good. I definitely want to do a slower, closer read now that I'm past the throes of I'M READING A GOOD BOOK brainspace. I underlined two sentences on my first pass: "Desolation tries to colonize you." "That's how the madness of the world tries to colonize you: from the outside in, forcing you to live in its reality." I know the common reading is of climate change, etc, but there is definitely something there about attempting to subjugate lands and entities that you (general, as humanity) have no inherent right to ...
• HIROSHI NAGAI: Japan’s Sun-drenched Americana (Ben Leighton): these illustrations are edible. to me.
  
  

  watching

• watched some TV with my grandma! a few episodes of season 4 of "In Treatment" (boring), first two episodes of Project Runway s18 (delightful). the latter was because she asked me to re-enable her netflix account and that's the first thing that came up lol.
• the truth about family blogging (Tiffany Ferg): kill them all with hammers imo
• ALMOST DONE with the lain rewatch. it's been sooo fun hearing boyf's theories and ideas as we go.
  
  

  playing

• did a blades in the dark session 0! the dm is my friend who had the idea to bring together three of their friends who are down to clown with not-dnd who have never played a ttrpg together before and I'm already thrilled with the dynamic we are all bringing to that virtual table. the character set is a tinkerer-type who does Not want to be involved with crime but is trying to rescue his sister from prison, the world's funniest skeletor-level of theatricality bad-at-their-job supervillain, and, of course, my girl Scud Gauntlet.
• (for those of you that did not see my tumblr posts: I introduced the concept of my character as "so you know moby dick? captain ahab from moby dick?" she is what if ahab were a disfunctional lesbian. I got her name from this poem fragment by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, I don't remember which poem or writeup 'gauntlet' came from but it might have been something from moby dick? either way. in my head she looks like sandra oh, if she did a few too many uppers and had grey hair.)
  
  

  making

• finished my mom's fingerless gloves! I may have to redo the bind-off on the left one, it is a liiiiitle tight, so I'll have to see what she says about it...I didn't block them either :v
  
• did an hourly comic day as a little zine! click here for full comics. (or here for neocities!) did not preserve the format for zine printing just because I don't imagine anyone would want to print this out lol
