[alby]

been kinda bored lately

[soj]

bit emo about moving out of my hometown / family home this week. felt very rushed since i didn't know whether my job this summer would be remote or not until only a few weeks ago. add to that the fact that i may or may not be back in the fall depending on whether school is in person; this feels like a very weird and uncertain transition period. mostly worried about regular things like counting the number of days i'm likely to spend with my parents if i'm moving out permanently (it's not a lot!), whether i've spent sufficient time with my grandparents & how many more visits i probably have left with them, and how long it'll take for me to feel at home outside of this city.

on the other hand this stage of my life has felt a bit drawn out, and it feels good to be starting something new. lots of exciting things ahead. just wish i had more lead time to properly prepare and appreciate the time with my parents and family. i spent the past few weeks stressed about finishing up projects / my thesis for my undergrad and only now starting to think about these things.

just some ramdom emo thoughts on this friday night.

imagine being one of the OG kings of care-tags 1.0 and then spending all of ct2.0 just doing a shitty bit

he wanted to pitch

The only time I ever felt “at home” in a place was one day in Nogales, AZ. I still think about that day and wonder if it was genuine. I find myself looking at properties and every time I picture staying <in current city> for the rest of my life I feel like I’m making a mistake.

I'd like to just live one place for a long time and put down "roots or whatever" but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be at the whims of the job market :'(

These fashion designer tv shows kinda have some Narcos energy. Rise and Fall of a Drug Dealer.

young bird hit my window and collapsed. have him covered from the rain in a box/cloth and semi-elevated to reduce the chance a predator finds him

hope the little guy pulls through

[ramdomthought]

@judith for sure - had my blinds up entirely and they missed em. sad to see

Kentaro Miura died.

What a fucking bummer.

turns out i'm happy as hell in new city. new job rocks (part of my welcome package as an intern was an $600 arc'teryx shell wtf?) and i'm even thinking of staying longer and delaying grad school.. much to think about. having lived in the same city for 23 years i'm sure part of it is the novelty, but this city is objectively nicer / has more to do even in covid and i've been just so happy redacting around and soaking it all in. my roommates are pretty awesome too & have been good at showing me around and making me feel welcome which helps. \end of boring life update

[ramdomthought]

bought a new window shaker instead of the one my landlord left

uses 300w less, and is noticeably quieter while also being more effective

finally i will be able to sleep again

Someone makes a joke which makes me uncomfortable: bigot, weirdo, clearly problematic, should cut them off

Someone tells me I made a joke which made them uncomfortable: lib, overly pc, woke culture is going to far, I embrace being cancelled
