How to explain to people that it's not necessarily a problem for me to wake up early. The problem is that my body's and brain's energy levels are that of a toddler. And if I wake let's say at 6am, I will be exhausted and ready for bed at 3-4pm despite not doing anything particularly high energy demanding. Which is a problem.

#“you can fix it by forcing yourself to stay awake longer amounts of time!”#my brother in christ I am 30. It has not fixed anything when I've tried and it won't fix anything even if I retried and tried.#I genuinely don't understand how some people have such large energy reserves for the day.#I woke up at 8-9am today. it's 5pm and I a getting tired. all I've done is some light cleaning. housework. and cooking.#what the actual hell #mab rambles

I have got my hands on an external cd drive. Will be burning albums on cd's of my fav artists who have no physical options sold of their music (after I buy their music's digital copies! I want to support them ofc!)

#there's a Finnish artist called Pehmoaino who doesn't sell physical copies of their music so I'm defo getting her album #also Ellie Dixon DOES sell on her own page physical copies but those are impossible get here #(and ordering all the way from USA would be horribly expensive. generational dept expensive.)#so I'm thinking that buying their albums as digital copies on Qobuz will be the first ones #I still do prefer buying the official physical copies of music if the artist offers one tho #but alas #mab listens music #(oh also I bought a portable cd player! it's awesome and I love it and it actually fits in my jean pockets!)#edit: also Kiki Rockwell's albums!! need those #edit edit: checked and Ellie Dixon is actually from UK might consider ordering the album?? maybe #the customs from UK are horrible tho... fuck Brexit

I have lived in and out of the city, I prefer the city

I have only lived in the city, I prefer the city

I have only lived out of the city, I prefer the city

I have lived in and out of the city, I prefer out of the city

I have only lived in the city, I prefer out of the city

I have only lived out of the city, I prefer out of the city

#I love visiting my small hometown #but gods I hate it there #city has everything. if I want to buy something I can probs find it in my city.#if I want to go do something interesting there is always something going on #I can be peacefully not known by anyone in a large group of people around me #no-one will not gossip or care how I look or what I do. I don't need to constantly feel stressed by that.#I'm just another stranger in a crowd and that brings me such an immense peace #the library is huge #there's always someone laughing. there's always someone crying. there's life #I love the city

On a side note, as someone who just finished DCC four (The Gate of The Feral Gods), I'm really intrigued seeing at what point Mordecai might(?) realize and how he reacts one: upon realising he is the guide/manager for probably one the Crawls historically most powerful and most impactful crawler(s) so far(maybe???) and two: when he finds out properly that Carl's (and Donut's indirectly? maybe future books directly if Donut gets in on the stuff more) intentions are technically not to one on one survive the dungeon and make a decent deal on a later level but straight up fuck The Syndicate up and (it starts to really seem or even already be like) to start real rebellion and wars in real world outside the Crawl. I'm really interested to see how Mordecai feels about the whole thing

#ALSO obviously waiting to hear more about Mordecai's own Crawl and the deets about it #Mordecai is alas. despite Donut being wonderful. still my favourite character #I'm a sucker for old grumps #spoilers #Dungeon Crawler Carl spoilers #DCC spoilers #(just in case although this wasn't really spoilery)#Dungeon Crawler Carl #DCC #Mordecai #mab reads #The Gate of The Feral Gods

I've read three Dungeon Crawler Carl books in a row and I think I need something else for now gods especially since the last one (book four) which is close to 600 pages I managed to read in nine days.

#I have to return that one to the library AND I hadn't finished book three early enough so that was a very intense read schedule for book 4 #I just wanna read some horror now and have a good pause from DCC #either gonna go for We Love You Bunny finally or Starving Saints #might read both actually #would like to continue reading forward Southern Reach books too #annnddd I need to reread Dune 1 and read Dune 2 before December aswell hmmm #lot's to read #booklr #mab reads

Ah the first sign of getting relaxed despite my shitty unemployment situation and the extra stress from family holiday plans. And of course I get some calls about planned renovations in the apartment building I live in on rent and that there's specifically problems with it in my apartment.

#aaaaand there spikes my cortisol levels #turns out the tenants before me have installed stuff without my landlords consent. and he had not known about it.#and now those installments are on the way and cannot be removed without problems.#great. super.#this year has been filled with random apartment building renovations too. and they always plan them on holidays. which sucks ass.#I wish I had a place that I owned myself instead of being a tenant on someone else's owned place #sighhhhh #also I need a job. bad.#mab rambles

Remember when Xbox was going to basically ban used games for the xbox one, and Playstation made fun of them with that video titled "how to share games on Playstation" and it was just one guy handing another a game disk? And now Playstation is getting rid of physical disks entirely

It’s like they expect us to just forget their original marketing schemes in favor of more and more money grabs.

#remember: every corporate big tm company you love now will become this too later.#NEVER trust megacorps #(this also includes small now companies that turn big later. ALWAYS hold the companies that sell you something responsible for their shit.)

let me. innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I've been going through my mom's old cassettes to find out their contents. And she had accidentally recorded in one of them the full radio news from 2001 (also pre 9/11), and let me tell you: the peace I felt while listening that was immense.

#felt like I was listening news from a time before every news broadcast include horrid things in them #like obviously it wasn't all the time like that back then either but godssss #imagine hearing the days news and? it was?? okay???#no need to hear the orange assholes name even once??#sighhh #mab rambles

Side tangent about music, I always find it so interesting that in English speaking countries they don't really have large or even any iskelmä/schlager genre of music thing going on?? It's pretty much one of the most popular, if not even the number one most popular, genre of music in Finland. And it always throws me off to realize that it's not really a thing? that even exists?? in a lot of the places around the world??? Very confusing.

#if you wanna check out what it sounds like try looking up Spotify playlist with the word “iskelmä” in the name #it's THE most common genre played in all the radio stations too in Finland #I think you can find it around europian countries somewhat too #and I've noticed that some Eastern Asian music can sound very similar #sort of very melodic music with very emotional topics?? is how I'd describe it??#idk #mab and music #Schlager #iskelmä

My whimsy ass getting gifted my mom's old cassettes now that I've become obsessed with old forms of storing music. only to discover my mother was (and still is) the most unorganized fucker who has all the casettes mixed in different labeled cases with no proper info anywhere what music any of them have in them.

#it's really messing with my aesthetic obsessed super autism fueled organized loving brain #there's like 30-40 cassettes. and I have to play through all of them to discover what they have in them.#plus they're like from the 80's so some need some repairing in order to do that. so it's gonna be a project #I was thinking of trying to install new tape in some of casettes and reuse them for my own mixtapes #since the casing in some is really cool and unique looking #cassettes #analogue nostalgia #cassette player #mab and music
