I'm leaving for Ireland tomorrow. My luggage is mostly packed and all the documents are already fixed up, so that means that now I'm just waiting around doing nothing.

I don't like it.

I don't need a top performing pc, I don't even need a good pc

my laptop struggles with showing the steam shop on the app

I've never even seen 60fps, 20 are enough for me, I can just imagine what is going to happen

#gaming #pc #laptop #pc gaming

honestly, peepers is my favorite word in the English language, maybe because you use it so sparsely that when it comes up it always makes me chuckle

it feels wrong to even type it again, I don't want to risk over using it

but I did see someone pair it with beady and yeah

that's pretty funny sounding

reading fear street the overnight immediately after finishing fear street the surprise party is such a wild mood shift

like Meg was singlemindedly obsessed with her party and it's at most a murder mistery story, but Della straight up kills a man who attacked her in chapter 5 and is having a breakdown in the middle of the woods alone

this is a whole different mood compared to the first 2 books, like, Cory and Meg were just chilling in their creepy mistery novels with regular teen drama, i have a feeling Della is about to experience eternal torment for the next 100 pages

#book thoughts #am reading #bookish #horror #fear street #rl stine #fear street the overnight spoliers #if you care it's an almost forty year old book

Italian local STAGGERS baby mormon missionaries by replying In PERFECT ENGLISH

#i use mormons to grind my spoken english skills #also to get complimented #they are very sweet in their trying to get me to join their cult

spent the evening writing little sketches from my het romantasy wip that are like all soft and emotional and wholesome but it's just the fmc and the stereotypical het romance guy she gets big brother-ed by having a heart to heart

#big brothered not in the orwellian sense #that's something stereotypical het romance guys already do #i'm trying to subvert the type #he may be angsty and gruff and buff and tatted but he's also too old to be in love with a weepy 18 year old

It's starting to sound like I'm making up bullshit but today I saw a poiana for the 3rd time in less than 7 days and it's probably always the same one but I can't keep coming home and being like 'guys! Guess what!'

And no, I haven't taken pictures because it just flew over my car while I was driving every single time.

#why does nobody talk anout sleep hygene?#when I was following a more consistent routine I was sleeping so much better #maybe it's an old trend and mobody cares anymore #now everything is hormones and dopamine and cortisol but I don't think #most people actually care about those terms #they just sound good #it makes tnings that feel like moral failing sound like they could be fixed with the right medicine #you know like that post about the pill that fixes everything wrong with you #it's nice to make my screen time issue sound like a #medical diagnisis #it makes it feel like it's not my fault #fault is a strong word #responsibility maybe?#well it's got nothing to do with me the juices in my brain tell me what to do #i'm victim of the juices #idk #i know actually #i know that it's not the juices and just beimg lonely because when I'm in company I don't really care about the little people in my phone un #unless i'm really tired and i'm ready to be done with the people in front of me #it's not like i chat online i hate chatting and messaging #i already always doubt what I said once the conversation is over but via message i don't even know how the other person is reacting #i read back some of my old messages sometimes just to make sure i wasn't being a weirdo #i should probably wztch some dogy videos #you know what i need it's not sleep hygene it's audio hygene #i'm so uncomfortable with silence that's why i'm always on the tube #it's weird calling it youtube #i've always kind of translated it in my head and tu tubo sounds stupid so i often call my favorite youtubers just tubers #which also sounds stupid but that I can imagine them all as potatoes which is pretty funny #maybe i can do a silent hour #and if i can't do that I can transition into a musical hour

Yes yes it took me a thousand years but I've started listening to The Magnus Archive. Coincidentally it's a great listen while I'm working on my quilt blanket, but also it is taking me back to when I spent a good few weeks listening to the Rook audiobook while cooking all day long in lockdown.

I guess it's familiar in that sense.

#tma #the magnus archive #the rook #lowkey you should check out the rook it you like tma #even if it's a bit more boring #no one talks about it when it comes to online bookish circles but it's a decent time #book thoughts #podcast

I'm so hyped for the new Dave the Diver DLC, i might have to buy it full price day 1

I might even have to replay the whole game's story, just so I can do all the dlc's After finishing the game's story

just as an excuse to play more Dave the Diver

#dave the diver #videogame

My break from posting regularly is honestly working great for my blood pressure, but also, since I'm always lurking I'm also kinda missing the dopamine rush of getting notifications on my posts

I'm so sorry All of Us Villains was marketed as an hunger games clone, because people got in thinking it was hunger games quality in prose and themes (it's not) and overlooked how funny it can be and what a nice read it actually is

like , no, it's got BARELY the deadly competition in common with the hunger games

one of the point of view charcters is a silly goofy guy trapped in the body of a sulking goth that wears cable knit cardigans to the death tournament and trips and falls at least once a chapter

this isn't a serious book

but it's a fun book, and it's a sincere book

is there a bit of tonal see-sawing going on? yes, as i said, it's not super well crafted

but it's nice and the mcs are all like little cousins to me so I can overlook the often cringe prose

also once you get past the slow as shit first third the plot picks up the pace like crazy

#all of us villains #blog #book thoughts #bookish #am reading

I wish I studied electronics enough to build myself an e-ink ereader that's also an audioplayer/mp3 (not bluetooth) but computers are basically witchcraft to me so if I were to try that I would have to work to start from less than zero

and i'm not that interested in doing it myself
