wow I'm actually posting this on a Tuesday. shock awe etc
listening:
finished the perpetua prelude! planning on catching up to the first few eps of perpetua proper on my road trip back home next week
rediscovering old spotify playlists in the quest to download my more favorite tunes. this playlist was made for an exchange a few years ago and it still kicks ass. search for sweethearts underneath the dirt, the prompts I gave were "southern gothic, necromancy, and werewolves", which was nailed.
reading:
on the rec of discord friend spockandawe, I've been reading "Evil as Humans", a cnovel by Nian Zhong! she sent it to me a while back and I've recently needed something light in tone/vibes to read as my bedtime non-phone activity and it's been admirably filling that gap. the translation is a little clunky but I'm very charmed by the main characters. just finished the first arc and started the second.
watching:
lots of the vintage dusties youtube account shorts - just someone really into vintage nail polish and restoring old bottles! I am enchanted by her nail shape and it did inspire me to paint my nails because I realized I have a few weeks off from things that normally make me not paint my nails (no pottery class again til July, while I'm visiting home I'll probably go to the climbing gym with friends but that's not until beginning of June at the earliest)
playing:
minecraft ...... I made four maps zoomed out as far as they will go, with home base at the center where the corners meet. I have entirely filled in two maps. many hours of mapping. I did kill my horse in this process by accident in powdered snow which was DEVASTATING but I was able to go into game logs to find my death location so at least I didn't lose all my stuff. had a real 'this is my thirteenth reason' moment with that though.
making:
I glazed two more fern majolica cups but I fucked up the white glaze application so I just dipped it all in clear and crossed my fingers to refire it, as well as some patchiness on the graduation gift I made my SO. will be picking those up tomorrow or Thursday probably.
jellyfish glaze test came out and it's: bad! that is an exaggeration but I'm glad I did a test. really gotta be more into doing quick tests to save myself aggravation.
to that end: glaze experiment on a teeny scrap ramekin! this is also majolica style because I want to see how that comes out, if it's not sharp enough I will probably do it as underglaze on greenware and then zap it with clear glaze instead. I think this will go on the inside of the matcha bowl I made for roommate because she had a vision of the matcha like pond scum ? or something. I see it I understand the vibe and I'm here for it
digging into the pile of clothing that needs minor adjustments for wearability! so sewed some bra cups for structure into the tank top I knitted (plus un-attached the straps so it's a halter top now), and tacked down an annoying flappy interior seam of a dress I got a few summers ago.
a truly astounding number of plots for my prelim thesis. this is a good thing but hoo baby design choices are hard!
started poking at ways to make my neocities more mobile-friendly. this is very very in progress.
eating:
fallow again. in that weird period of like .. well ... next week I will be leaving town for six weeks ..... so I'm trying to clean out my fridge and freezer, with more frequent eating out than normal
oh I did get farmers market eggs because they are the same price as grocery store right now, lol. they're good! definitely bigger than the grocery store ones, slightly thinner shells but prettier.
misc:
is this too long a post to not put under a cut? let me know in da comments below
