Just learned about the Mercedes vehicle trying to turn into an aeroplane at the 1999 Le Mans. Like, the decisions made make sense for what the engineers of the vehicle wanted, but also did they not think that there could be the potential of causing their driver to become even a teensy but airborne??

I just want to be home with my floors but instead I'm in the office correcting someone else's maneuverability report for a new vessel design.

Very curious why everytime I do edits on these reports the vessel dimensions (which have never changed) are always different. 🙃

Rise of the Pink Ladies was nominated for choreography Emmy this week. You cannot legally watch an Emmy-nominated show because god forbid the studio has to pay workers for it—that’s the state of the industry with streaming right now. That’s why SAG and the WGA are striking.

The last of the element series I did for my aerial school.

After I took on being creative professionally I found I had no other hobbies, and I need hobbies, so I took on aerial arts and loved it forever more.

Haven’t been here for a bit and I just want to put a brain worm into existence OUT of my brain.

So like... I typed in a website wrong because my typing skills suck especially when I’m tired. And what came up? My ex’s tumblr. And I just remembered these conversations we would have about if we lived together and the size of the apartment and shit. And now. NOW. I am living in a 2b/1ba with my two cats that has a HUGE living room you could use as a dance studio space (trying to keep myself from buying a pole to add to the aerial equipment and it is a losing battle) plus equal sized bedrooms with good sized closets and. It’s what we talked about wanting. Except here I am, affording it on my own, doing my thing, living my life (providing for my cats), etc. and she’s apparently struggling to find a job and move out of her parents’ home.

Like, I feel like I should feel vindicated except I don’t. I actually feel pity. Yeah, we had a terrible breakup and she lost a bunch of friends at the exact same time due to her behavior and actions but it’s been YEARS and honestly? I hope she finds a job and can move out. It’s probably not going to be the “live alone” sitch she’s apparently dreaming of, but it would be nice to know she’s at least thriving because it looks like she is trying to fix all the things that she was doing way back then.

Anyway, hope she gets a job soon. Hope she can afford to move out soon.

Still not going to unblock her but I am going to tag her even though I’m probably also still blocked. :P
