Today's fun Jam fact, because why not?

If you've asked my favorite color, I probably told you purple. It's not a LIE necessarily, it's a very close second, but it's also because you can't get it wrong, every shade of purple is fantastic. But it's eked out of first place by a nice dark evergreen.

90% sure I'm burning bridges with this. I'd laugh if I wasn't losing sleep over it. C'est la vie or whatever.

Including something that's been a source of anxiety for a few months now!

Well, not done, but it's not a "get done in a day" process anyway, I've just put it off because I kept hoping it would go away on it's own.

I do not know why I'm skeeting my day lol, guess I needed to vent <3

Hooo boy, gonna have to go check my blood pressure when I get home, after the alarms going off for five-ten minutes everything is annoying me.

Plus side I've got a lot done today out of spite xD

Another, more relevant example? Office alarms.

Guess what's being worked on in the office today? (I have headphones in to block it out, which is a different but less frustrating problem than the alarm lmao)

Fun facts about Jam: I do not like repetitive noises. After a bit, I get almost unreasonably annoyed.

A perfect example: "Steal my sunshine" by Len.

I did, however, get trolled by Mariah Carey?! Sad the game was muted, 'cause @leeplz.bsky.social was also dying from random music coming through the mic lol -- giving me trouble clipping it though D:

Couldn't get Minecraft to play the correct audio, so we played lots of Peak and some Phas as well! It was fun! Now to relax a little bit before going out to Supernatural <3

Instead of keeping my account cancelled and punishing myself, I swapped to the PC game pass version instead. Paying less than I was for the same features I was using lol. (I haven't used my Xbox as a console in YEARS)

@puzzmo.com is running a mini crossword series that teaches you tricks to interpret clues and I love it. Brooke is doing such a great job building on each lesson and honestly, it's both fascinating and kinda making me want to learn how to build(?) crosswords myself.

At some point apps are going to stop asking "How do you like the app?" Cause I'm just going to keep answering honestly. XD
