today's look. a touch of iridescent eyeshadow in the inner corner of my eyes is always a fun addition to an otherwise neutral look

i suddenly had the strength and motivation to bake cookies around midnight. so i did that. here's hoping that i tired myself out enough today and get some decent sleep

earlier today i referred to the popularization of websites (both personal and commercial) in 95-96 as "the Cambrian explosion of websites" and i can't stop thinking about it

i made homemade mac & cheese tonight and it was good. the breadcrumb topping was made with the last bit of herb focaccia i had leftover. tore it up into little pieces and sprinkled that on top. delicious

[suddenly sitting upright at 6 AM because insomnia is kicking my ass yet again] you know, i wonder. i've been enjoying traditional art lately because the physical, tactile nature of it is satisfying to me... it grounds me, mentally. i've grown to love how brushes and pens and paper *feel*
every time i open my ipad to draw, the same exact thing happens: i draw for about 15 minutes (if that) and then immediately get too anxious to keep going. UGH

tonight i asked myself the question, "what if my imac g3 was a little fairy?". her name is blueberry dreams. the single angelic note she is singing is the mac startup sound. also she has a little imac "hockey puck" mouse friend.

sorry i'm always posting about computers and being mad at insufferable computer nerds
December 1, 2025 at 3:31 AM
any time smug computer nerds say "tch...just build a PC" i want to shake them violently and remind them that computer components have been insanely expensive for several years now and the cost of building even a budget PC is frankly ridiculous

oh man my stamina has been absolutely *annihilated* today. x_x i ran some errands, and between stress + being on my feet too long, my chronic pain is flaring up out of control. i am in so much pain lmfao...

today's look. gotta bring out my collection of sweaters, now that there's snow outside

i watched a bunch of 90s anime openings/endings last night with friends and i kept thinking "i should really draw more often and tap into this kind of energy" which is something i haven't thought in months

at long last, i have the space to back up all the junk that's on my computers and my phone. this is such a fucking relief to me, you have no idea. i felt like i was suffocating. waughhhhhhh

you know? i haven't posted about them in a long time. here is rosemary (she/her) and diana (they/them)

rosemary is a witch who specializes in magic charms, and diana is her half-vampire (dhampir) spouse. a shy witch and her scholarly knight

i've been using digital art tools for most of my life and i still have not figured out what a "histogram" is and at this point i'm afraid to ask

today's look. i felt well enough to dress up a bit today :>

i keep telling myself that it's not worth it to spend energy on baking, because i should be using that energy for cooking proper meals. food has been unfortunately a stressful subject for me for a very, very long time. but i had a lot of fun with making bread today. maybe i should do this more.

i have a pretty strong distaste for "frutiger aero" as an aesthetic and a label. part of me wonders if that's just because i've hit the age where people younger than me are pining semi-nostalgically for something i personally experienced, and so it doesn't feel interesting or compelling to me
