It’s so warm that my bewildered house is making its deep midsummer groans.
The view out front is clearly autumn but the back garden is baking in a summer’s day. Spiders apparently chasing flies from one to the other.
“I’ve been in this room before”—my childhood terror at the holodeck scene from ‘Schisms’ continues to add a tingly piquant on rewatches.
Slowly trying to add some colour and texture differentiation. I want to push towards a dirty, patinaed gold for the metal.
Currently trying to grok non-metallic metal. Baffled by how well it seems to be going.
Like most of ex-birdsite iOS, I resisted but ultimately followed @stroughtonsmith down the rathole of getting back into mini painting as a kinda harmless midlife crisis… somehow I now own a 3D printer.
There’s a comforting thok-thok-thok out there of a neighbour doing something maintenancey to their house. I may clean the kitchen in solidarity.
You and me, productive stranger.
This beautiful beast has just arrived.
For some reason my brain goes to Zodiac. It must be 99% vibe.
Is there a genre of film which is just pre-horror horror? Something with the vibe of The Shining before all the spook-em-ups. Vaguely banal but off-kilter normalcy, with the sense of something coming.
Finding the permanent-train-chill video the day after I discovered that TikTok can be a dedicated provider of goofy animal videos. I have quite the weekend ahead.
Already considering if a single TV in the house could be dedicated to one of these on a loop. Any time, day or night, train-room-and-chill.
Tunnels!
How am I only now learning that there are ten hour long YouTube videos of Norwegian train journeys to the Arctic circle? Peak content ❤️ https://youtu.be/3rDjPLvOShM
A comfortable, on-for-the-evening rain.
There’s a tick-tickety-tick drip-onto-metal out there, purposefully unidentified. It kicks in as some saturation point is hit; “this can’t be argued with, get thee to a sofa”.
Just wrote a unit test that included an ‘expected’ variable and a ‘feared’ variable.
Weird dreams of knitting tag and search term metadata into my jumpers.
Just windy enough for every green thing to ripple.
Wait, it’s autumn again somehow? Did we forget a couple of seasons last year?
Maybe the problem is with me.
