painted a wee warhammer man. quite pleased with my first attempt in almost a quarter of a century (oof). i was held back by cheap brushes and shaky hands.

i look to history for an explanation for the spoiled votes campaign: more deaths from the 1918 flu led to support for fascism in italy and fewer deaths in america led to support for the kkk. this is where we are.

i'm still not watching many movies these days but sure look. sometimes you find out after watching a kiyoshi kurosawa film that it was released as an nft in 2024 so you can't blame me.

i accidentally twisted the latch that opens the camera instead of the winding mechanism to advance the film. so i deserve the light leaks that made half the roll unsalvageable.

i've been trying to build my own guitar pedals. i made this one but it's not working (most likely because my soldering was amateurish). i'm going to see if i can fix it.
