#;; setting up my new laptop and stuff

[why-the-heck-not]

19.12.23, tuesday

0.5h of coding lol

wasn’t having the best day so decided to finally watch the barbie-movie (it’s on hbo rn) bc figured that could cheer me up

but bc the universe loves a good timing, on the grocery store trip after, some dudes came to me like ”which one of us would u fuck?” and that annoyed me way more than it should’ve. Like cmon, it’s 10pm at a grocery store; if you’re not cottage cheese or olive oil get tf out of my face

just a short evening walk bc it was windy and I was annoyed

#also the barbie-movie; it was fine #not my favorite but I didn’t think it’d be bc I don’t rly usually go for that genre #also at this point the hype had got to me so my expectations were very unfair #the set tho; it looked so good #I love how I planned that I’d be a machine now this week so could actually not stress during christmas but it’s looking out to be like one #of the most unproductive days I’ve had all autumn lol #i’m thinking if I should just call it and start the holidays now and just idk catch up on some of the days in between christmas & new years #and I do have 8 days after new years before other courses start #but idk if I do thay I might not rly be able to chill during christmas #like rn I’m thinking if I should bring my laptop with me just in case I could squeeze a couple hours here & there during the few days #which is not the thing to do obviously; like it’s 5 days I can be apart from my laptop for 5 days #but it feels like with the amount of stuff I’ve gotten done I rly couldn’t afford a 5 day break rn #idk I’ll figure it out I won’t bring a laptop just to haunt me #(I’m bad at fully relaxing; there’s always the ’’u could be doing something productive tho’’-voice) #(which I don’t listen but then I just get nothing done and also never rly relax which is good super good) #(can u tell im still annoyed at everything rn lol sorry for the tag rant) #december 2023 #2023 #today

If I did more vsynth amoebas who would everybirdy want to see?

#art talks about stuff #debateable if i'd be able to do them until i get back because i've got work tomorrow packing setting up my new phone doctors #then i'm outta here for like a week and won't have my laptop + tablet

currently unable to beat we love katamari reroll because every time i roll up the sun and it tries to play the final cutscene the game crashes :[ and it doesn't register me as having beat the level so im just softlocked until i can make my laptop run better i guess . auggg katamari i love you why do you hurt me so...

#very funny that my laptop can handle older open-world stuff like new vegas no problem but not a ps2 port on the lowest graphics settings #genuinely upsets me because we love katamari is sososo good and i know theres a postgame. i want to roll up a million roses... #maple rambles

Really feeling that Baldur's Gate 3 FOMO tonight, especially where Astarion is concerned 😩😩

I was literally looking at Gaming PCs online, even though I shouldn't get one right now. Though I didn't even think about places having a Labor Day sale! I think what I'm gonna do, is try to save up as much as I can the next few months, and then take a look on Black Friday, cause the deals might be good enough I could swing one then. I've been wanting to get a desktop computer for a while, since my laptop is over 10 years old and essentially doesn't function anymore, and this has just made that desire that much more acute lol

#personal shit #currently trying to fill the BG3 sized void i feel in my soul right now #and i cant quite figure out how to do that #especially without spending a bunch of money #and here i was thinking about getting Fae Farm or the new Lego bugs set when they come out next week #but if im serious about getting a PC in November #i definitely shouldn't #and should save up instead #i think this is a good idea #also there's a TON of other games i currently have that i cant play because my laptop is such shit! #i just got the cozy game bundle that humble bundle had #which includes witchy life story and lemoncake!!! #but it was for steam so i cant play it #plus i got a ton of stuff on itchio from a couple charity bundles i did #so it would get its use!!! #the other option was to save up for a ps5 #which would have been nice for the new spider-man game #but i dont really want a ps5 and i do really want a new computer #plus i think there's a good chance the new spider-man game will get a pc release too #eventually lol #since the first one did! #anyway if anyone has any recommendations for getting a new computer especially one good for gaming im all ears #baldur's gate 3

Me next to (specifically pdh for no reason other than I wanted to draw him in a dress shirt) Aaron.

Just to portray how big of a simp I am for this very very large man.

#my laptop is on its last breath rn so I didn’t want to do anything too extra today. when my new laptop is properly set up and I have access #to all of my stuff (because my old one will not let me open anything aside from CSP p much at this point) #then I shall draw letter stuff #better* #aphmau #aphverse #aphblr #mystreet #aaron lycan

love the keyboard this desktop came with even tho it's gonna take a lot of getting used to (i am making So Many typos) but i think i might need a new mouse. i have tiny baby hands and this mouse is literally bigger than my hand, i feel like i can barely click it KJGFH

#im trying really hard to get used to the keyboard. i wanted a nice fat keyboard and that's what i got #but i keep hitting between keys and typing things like. kj hg re when im trying to type only one of those letters #laptop keyboard ruined me it was so flat and hard to hit. these keys are SO SENSITIVE kjfhg #i just wish they were a little more. resistant? like i wish it took more effort to hit them so that maybe that would happen less #but i will get used to it 👍 #when i get back from work im gonna try my best to go ahead and get minecraft set up #bc that's honestly the best way to stress test this thing lol. at least for what i need it for #can it run mods. can it stay connected to a server decently. can i get a consistent fps. how hard is it to control with a new keyboard #those are the important things as long as i can get that stuff done it'll be fine lol #so far screen recording is WAY better #so that's nice :D #also shoutout to these 2007 speakers i had laying around bc i completely forgot to get speakers FKJGH they still work just fine #chat

Youtube STOP recommending GB News and antivax shit challenge.

#context: I use youtube signed out and when I first set up my new laptop I refused to allow youtube to personalise my homepage #meaning that I get a blank slate homepage every time I open it. it seems to accrue a few relevant topics during a watching session #but will then totally reset again if I leave the site #and I am constantly being recommended transphobic shit. anti vaxxers. gb news is on the homepage more often than not #I genuinely want to turn on the ability to let it gather my history again as odd as that would have sounded to past Chaos #but idk if that's even possible now without signing in #stuff

y'all I just have to say that I am so excited to have a functioning typing device that ISN'T my phone or ipad+very-cheap-and-occasionally-bizarre-bluetooth-keyboard setup (even if I can't quite figure out most of the basic functions on my macbook right now fshkfdhfh). like... I am going to write SO much fic now that I'm not tied to the sole options of 1) Rather Inconvenient OR 2) Must Be Plugged In At ALL TIMES Or WILL Crash and Lose All Of Your Work and Also Likes To Randomly Disconnect From The Internet For No Reason Really At All. like I'll still procrstinate and get extremely intense imposter syndrome and all that. but I think that having something accessible all the time that doesn't require me to be in a really specific setting or jump through a whole bunch of hoops to use will make writing a Lot easier.

#also there's the fact that like... #ok this is going to probably sound bad and a lot of people won't understand it #but all the devices us kids had when we were young had a set-up where our parents could essentially log in and remote-control the device #at any time with no real warning #and while I actually had no problem with that set-up in theory or in practice! it did cause me to always feel kinda weird when writing #ESPECIALLY when writing fanfic dsjjsdhf #bc like. what if I'm writing an intensely WeirdTM DWEU thing and suddenly my dad pops up in my word processor. #I WOULD DIE. I WOULD DIE SO MUCH. #and he's always been very supportive of my fannish pursuits! he's always been really into cosplay and he thought the stuff I did #in other fandoms in the past was really cool and was totally cool with it!! #but I would still die. because it's one of those things that you just kinda don't acknowledge to people who aren't also *in* #that very specific field (ie not just fan-people but fanfic-consuming and possibly -writing fan-people) #ANYWAY #that was a whole sidetrack thing but it's one of the reasons I'm very happy to have a new laptop that has never had that program on it #and that my brain will hopefully be able to stop using as an excuse for executive dysfunction/imposter syndrome in the are of my writing. #gurt says stuff #my writing

i'm so fucking sad i don't have a computer to draw on i would have loved to get out some art for mother 3's birthday :(

#oh well perhaps if it stays in the forefront of my mind i'll at least get something drawn at some point when i'm back in business #very swag update on the computer situation by the way! someone lent me a charger that i did manage to wake my old laptop up with #i'm still in the process of figuring out a replacement but i managed to keep the old one alive long enough to back up all my stuff :) #i'll still have to grumble and gripe my way through setting up a new computer and clearing out the bloatware and everything #no getting around that. but at least i'll still have all my files to ease the pain #the devil [windows bloatware] works hard but bad picture i made.png [ms paint of bill ciper with two eyes i drew in 2018] works harder

i don't even know if i WANT to finish nursing at this point, like i fucking hate college rn and it's only an associates program but like. please i am so tired professors let me fucking sleep

#i have sociology discussion post and quiz to do along w notes to finish #nursing test and i have to set up the new laptop AND figure out the old login for the exam thing to download #spanish is actually my favorite rn and making me wanna go into linguistics but ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ #i know that class'll start being REAL fucking busy later #and clinical starts next week and my sister told me the hospital we're going to normally has bedbugs #and i'd fucking die if i got bedbugs. that is a level of physical and mental torture i couldn't endure #hate bugs hate parasites hate that shit touching me hate the potential of my bed/sheets/weighted blanket being ruined #this isn't me judging anyone w bedbugs btw. just saying because i don't want this taken out of context #the idea of having parasitic bugs crawling on me would set me off so bad it'd be like fucking high school again. i just know my limits #but also back to school lol i was supposed to do my sociology stuff last night and i tried to lay down for 20 minutes #fell asleep for 4 hours and slept through dinner. i am hungry :( #and now i have to stay up to do it instead #PLUS I HAVE A HUGE NURSING PROJECT DUE NEXT WEEK THAT IS EXPECTED TO TAKE 6 H O U R S #and i still have to do journal entries for ballet #at least my contacts fucking keep me from falling asleep on campus because i get so freaked about eye infection potential #BUT i also did pass my injection eval! ya girl can now inject im medication in a clinical setting

#ellie talks to herself #tails #miles tails prower #digging out stuff to do #since I can’t use my laptop #and my parents are currently #attempting to set up a new tv and stand #so I found these nanoblocks #I bought months ago #like almost a year ago probably

[g-r-a-y-p-h-i-c]

not really the typical content for this blog, but i did some concept exploration for a pair of pajama bottoms im gonna visibly mend. its very rough, since i didnt go into this expecting to post it lol

#artists on tumblr #autisticart #quickmessyscribbles #for those of you who dont follow my main: this laptop is like kinda on the fritz rn #so im probably putting the art project ive been working on since last april on hold til some laptop repair supplies arrive later this month #bc id really really hate to make some serious progress and then have the laptop shut down right in the middle of it and lose all that #so- ive been focusing more on visible mending (another thing i do) bc if i dont have SOMETHING creative to do ill get cabin fever #the pants* im mending have been a bit challenging in terms of what to use thatll work with this odd burgundy/light blue/lime combo #but i think i finally figured it out by booting up csp and using the tools in there to come up w more colours #and i even managed to find threads to buy that match those colours decently! well- kind of. #so the (GOTS- and OekoTex-certified) thread shop i frequent is like. currently in the process of getting set up #it actually didnt exist the first time i bought something from them- i had to go find ANOTHER shop that sold their stuff and get it there #thankfully now they Do have their own shop so i can buy direct from them. BUT- #they have a lot of colours they Plan to sell that arent yet available #three of the colours i picked here are of those unavailable ones #so ive emailed them for an eta & set up an email subscription (hoping to get emailed whenever a new colours added) #and- we'll see what happens #worst case scenario i have to go somewhere else for three colours (which'd be a pain- hard to match this shops quality) #*i am also working on mending a few other things but for various reasons (supplies for x has to arrive; y is currently in the wash; etc) #those arent available atm #this image really is way way lazier than i think anything else ive Ever posted to this blog #couldnt even be bothered to make the 'sun' motif round or fully coloured-in #but like. i wont have much else to post to this blog til i finish that ongoing art project and THATS not happening anytime soon #and- shoddy execution aside- i DO like the colours and concepts in this image #so. shrug

this was actually a good reminder i desperately need to find some low-intensity hobbies that are tactile but the problem with that is i don’t have any fucking room + it would be nice for it to be something i can like, easily do in bed???

#cat sent me an OW lego set a few years back (yknow when we all still liked OW) but it was right before i knew i was moving #so i didn't wanna dig into it before moving a lose something but now i'm like #where room for lego set??? #what i need i think is some smallish foldable activity table #bc the issue is if i set something up on my desk i have to clear the rest of the stuff on my desk #my laptop station and whatnot but i have nowhere to put it #i don't like putting it on my bed unless i'm using it bc i've done that a couple times and the fucking thing fell over #which made me shit bricks bc this thing is so Very Fragile and Light compared to my toshiba brick #anyway going to add that to the list of stuff to look for at the thrift stores #i had been needing a file cabinet for a while and stopped in on a whim one day and would you believe #i found a whole ass filing cabinet WITH A WORKING LOCK for 15$???? #them shits are like 100$ new dude

Bought a new laptop, ordered groceries, scheduled an appointment for my continuous back pain

I'm tired.

#speculation nation #tally knocked over a plant Again. which has not helped anything. #im going insane not having a functional laptop so i found one on sale and ordered it #signed up for paypal credit bc wtf ever. i'll just make sure to keep up with payments #nervous about what the appointment will bring bc it's been two months and the back pain hasnt gone away #im supposed to do cleaning and whatever tf but i do not feel. up to it. #at the very least i will have groceries in a few hours. i need them. #i started applying to health insurance only to realize i actually do have insurance still #my dad's insurance would time out after i turn 26. so im gonna look into this again later. #aka why i switched gears to going and setting up an appointment lol. it's in a week. #for now... i need to eat something. just . Something. #i need some relaxation like Immediately bc lmfao. nearly had an aneurysm spending $400 for tuition installment #AND buying a $500 laptop (tho it's $800 full price so Very good deal there) #(aka why i just jumped right into it bc i need a new laptop so bad. anything would be better than what i have rn) #technically have 3 days off in a row this week (absolutely decadent) but im going in tomorrow for work stuff #i have to put in the new employee paperwork before the next payroll happens. so they can actually fucking get paid lol #but for today. For Today. im going to fucking rest. i need it so bad.
