whenever i feel bad about needing more rest than others (even on a good day), i just remember that albert einstein slept 10h every night and took daily naps.
SMART goals for today: (i have to keep using the acronym to remind myself to keep things achievable lol...and sometimes i still have to edit some tasks throughout the day. it's not a failure, i'm still learning what "achievable" even is.)
morning routine ✅
physio exercises ✅
finish psyc ch 3/4 from last week ✅
finish psyc ch 4/4 from last week (i am sooooo close to being done w/ this, but i'm so tired. gotta listen to my body and get ready to sleep)
finish phil reading asst for this week ✅
work on phil quiz ✅ (answered from memory but i still have to check the readings)
skincare ✅
night routine ✅
wind down for 30 mins before sleeping with the light on (e.g. spacing out/meditate/journal/yoga/dealing with the things that distracted me while studying) ✅ (i wanted to meditate for 30 mins straight - i could not. while meditating, i was constantly reminded of things i didn't do yet and thoughts i wanted to get down that i kept stopping and starting the timer bc either these things have been bothering me for a while or i thought it was an important observation and it's now well over the 30 mins of winding down that i had originally planned and i'm sleeping a little later than i had wanted to. oh well. next time, it's probably a good idea to stick to the 30 min timer and NOT stop it now that a good number of bits and bobs have been dealt with...hopefully they don't all get replaced by new ones by the end of tmr 😂)

Got special permission to work good Friday and Easter Monday and honestly it's been fucking lovely being able to do my job and not have to be interrupted by my colleagues. Like I love them all dearly, we're a very close group but I've been so unbelievably productive and I also get the holiday days I save by not being forced to take these days off added onto my general leave so I can take them when I want.

Megaman Production Art Scan of the Day #525:
Rockman/Mega Man 8 Intro Cel HD Scan Cleanup and Original Version
Happy 35th Anniversary, Mega Man! (and 26th to Rockman 8)
I struggle to have the time to be one of the talented part of the fandom that creates such awesome artwork for anniversary dates and special events, as much as I wish I could. Kudos to you all who have drawn something for this anniversary!
And while I racked my brain for what to post on this day, I realized I never really did a high quality scan of this cel, which I’ve had now for nearly 4 years. In fact, the original scan wasn’t even completely stitched together to cover it all. So I’m rectifying that in 720 DPI, coming in at about 7500x6500 pixels.
Now, the original has a ton of paint splotches, and as great a piece as it is, shows a little wear from the decades. So, as I have been touching up settei in these Scan of the Day posts, I decided to give it a little clean up, which you see in the first image. I won’t claim to have fully restored it to it’s utmost former intended glory, but I also at least didn’t do this:
Maybe not as good as redrawing and reanimating the whole intro, but enjoy a single frame of our beloved Blue Bomber as crisp as it could have been in high definition. My Mega Man gift to you.
For those who think I have artificially, unintelligently destroyed the look of my cel in the name of beauty, well, you can still enjoy the splotches of paint as it truly appears without airbrushing on the original HQ scan in the second image.
Happy birthday to the franchise most beloved to me, and for all it has brought and given to me, which includes interacting with all of you!

8/100 Days of Productivity
Started revamping the Art History department bulletin boards. Started with a collage on one side and transitioning to the faculty of the art and art history departments. There's a half sized board with some club and volunteer opportunities and the second half sized board will be specifically for the Museum and Heritage Studies department and internship opportunities. The next big board is students who have graduated, I want to add some more recent grads and set it up to keep the ball rolling to keep it updated in coming years.
I also got a solid two pages typed out of a five page section for my seminar paper. Slowly but surely I'm getting there. It will definitely need some editing but its a wonderful start.

Life update/why crocheted plush clone pictures have temporarily stopped for a while.
For anyone that doesn’t know, back in November my family had a sudden loss of my uncle and now I’m helping my dad with emptying, fixing, cleaning, and going through the house he lived in, which my grandparents lived in for many years before they also passed not so long ago. The house needs a lot of work, I can’t even begin to describe it. We put in a lot of work up until late January/February then had to stop for various reasons. I had some time for myself, so I made the plush clones.
Now, we’re back to working on the house. It’s… overwhelming to say the least. Every room and even the yard is also very overwhelming on their own. Think along the lines if neglected hoarder house with multiples of big furniture items. The majority of the work is up to me and my dad. Also, for anyone that doesn’t know, I compete in a weightlifting sport, and I have a competition next month that I’m trying to train for at the same time.
So I will unfortunately not be able to make many more plush clones and take pictures of them consistently. I’ll do my best to post some, I enjoy making things for them and sharing that with you all! I shall be lurking, though!
Thanks for reading this far!
Pen and Sword, my dears!
Love,
💋 anon
