#i need to get like a mahjong solitare or just solitare

[horngryeyes]

thinking about all the shows im gonna watch once i get my second monitor installed (i will be able to watch something and do something else at the same time which will result in me actually watching the show and not biting my nails because my hands need to be occupied at all times)

#i need to get like a mahjong solitare or just solitare #something brainless i can do but still keeps me clicking #well not to say solitare is brainless but it doesnt require me to crack my head open like an egg #the same way for example sudoku does sometimes #yellowjackets and succession here i come. probably some more stuff too because those seem kinda heavy to watch and ill need something silly #maybe id watch mlp while playing some more brain demanding games. since mlp requires less of my attention i think #to be fair anything that has eng dub/ eng sound doesnt require my eyes so #oOH also avatar. the bald one. yeahhhh i can watch aang whole thing because i never caught it on tv as a kid

tuesday again

by god it sure has been another week!!!

listening fallen straight back into comforting familiar music, here’s bo en’s track Miss You off the EP Pale Machine, find out more at waypoint.zone/boen . this track is like moving through a bunch of different rooms at the chillest pre-party ever. not quite lo-fi beats to study and relax to, but a very chill vibe. 

reading this essay from Roxane Gay about quarantining with her fiance made me tear the fuck up. 

In many ways, distance makes a relationship easy. When your time together is finite, you’re generally on your best behavior. Every night is date night — sexy restaurants, exciting theater, museums, fancy parties, hot dogs at three in the morning from Chelsea Papaya, our favorite lesbian bar and booze in plastic cups and grinding on a tiny dance floor surrounded by people 20 years our junior. You don’t really settle into any ruts because you’re always on the go, go, go. Before any cracks might start to show, you’re apart again and missing each other and hearts are growing fonder. You get quality time together and quality time alone, the best of both worlds.

this is probably obvious to long-time mutuals, but i am someone an old therapist once called “chronically independent”. i am a person who needs a lot of space and alone time. if i ever have a long-term partner i live with, i expect there will be a lot of adjustments necessary to my horrible night-owl bachelor lifestyle. anyway this made me tear the fuck up bc it’s just Nice my god do i hope someday to love someone as much as Roxane Gay loves Debbie Millman, but also bc it’s like hey! they’re making it work! maybe i can make it work someday! frantically clawing for any sense of stability by projecting everything onto a nebulous imaginary future partner is not a healthy coping strategy but it’s what i’ve got today. 

watching dipped my toe into The Midnight Gospel but found it fucking insufferable. is the animation cool, even if it’s very dense and the action gets hard to follow? yes! episode three is about a ship crewed by cats and a fish in a bowl who pilots a robot body, and that’s just fucking fun to watch.

however, this is adapted from a podcast. since moving to central massachusetts, i have identified a broad category of aging white liberals who are really really earnest but also won’t shut the fuck up about their own life experiences, and we tend to irritate the shit out of each other. in a similar vein, the podcast genre of rambling-interview-with-one-person-about-how-they-got-to-where-they-are is not a genre i enjoy (except in very rare instances).

critics have hailed it as the anti rick and morty, and i think that’s an accurate take. i like pendelton ward’s work broadly speaking, and i like when animation takes risks and embraces the strengths of the genre, but this irritated the shit out of me and that’s fine, it’s not for me. chugging along to the next thing, which is probably finally finishing black sails

playing the giant fuckoff itch.io bundle is a touch overwhelming. i have bounced off a lot of things and discovered my laptop refuses to run some things. a real priority for future kay with a job and a safe place to hunker down for the winter and six months of grace on student loans will be acquiring something a little beefier. probably not a full on gaming rig, but i have been looking very covetously at desks that accommodate dual-monitor setups. look at this giant stupid thing. i want it. look at all those Drawers and Compartments.

i have also been playing a lot of mahjong solitare as a way to turn my brain off enough to listen to podcasts but i don’t have anything fun or exciting to say about that. it’s solitaire with mahjong tiles, we all know what it is.

making bought a new qsnap frame. it got lost in the mail. ordered a second frame from a different supplier. started a new thing that’s a glitch remix of the old thing that actually fits in the existing 8x8 frame. profit?

#tuesday again #tuesday again no problem
