  • Trying to get used to Affinity products and getting a little frustrated. Adobe is the devil but boy-howdy do I know my way around those apps.

  • Back home and defrosted after a lot of cold, cold, cold, and cold. It was good to have a solid weekend away and with different people doing stuff I never would've done myself, partly because it makes me redevelop an appreciation for being at home again. I definitely feel like I got away properly and cleared some of the cobwebs in my head.

    • It was so cold this weekend. I reckon it’s nice to go away, because then you really appreciate coming home again (particularly if you’ve cleaned the house before you left)

      • Absolutely! We all need a good reset every so often, I forget how to do this. And to your point I am SO glad I cleaned the house before I left, even though it was really tough to squeeze it in... Felt so luxe coming back to a tidy house, sparkling kitchen, clean floors, neat bed...

  • Joining the Odd Sleep club - kept on stirring awake every hour or so, with weird dreams the last couple of times.
    The one that did me in the end was dreaming I went to a once off client (I work in aged care) and first of all the car wouldn't move and I was somehow blocking both lanes, then when I got there the client thought he was having heart problems and we agreed we'd wait and see what happened and yeah, if he wanted to finish his electronics project go for it, it'd soothe him whereas I know damned well from first aid training and personal experience that when in doubt you Call The Fucking Ambulance. So basically I couldn't get back to sleep for going WTAF, plus the cats both using my shoulders as pillows.
    Eventually got up and turned on the heater because my face was freezing - took a while for the cats to figure it out but now Zooks is on my lap on the couch. Sammi is probably being a mini-potat in the bed

  • Dreams are messages from the deep.

    • I don't believe that. I think dreams are just little snippets of real life and fiction trying to tell a story in your most relaxed state. They don't mean anything because they're not real.

      • It's the opening line of the movie "Dune".

        little snippets of real life and fiction trying to tell a story

        exactly, and we are the author

    • Sometimes they're messages from the shallows though.

  • Modding Skyrim, looks like the 2021 Anniversary DLC is both necessary for a lot of mod lists and prohibitive on older mods.

  • (So I <3 you Mlem, but you keep crashing or not opening.)

    I have returned on Voyager. It’s look on iPad is meh, but who am I to complain.

    I also now have a dirty little secret. I finally tried CGPT today. It didn’t do the particular thing I wanted it to do, but it was interesting nonetheless. I’ve been reading some interesting comments on people replacing therapy with it and claims of better results with it and the image version than hired agencies. That’s a scary thought, but I guess it really highlights language and literal vs interpretation. Guess being a prompt engineer really is a thing.

    Warning, strange dream stuff in a wall of text below.

    In other wild news on the channel that is my brain. Holy hell. The dream/s I awoke from the morning I think just highlights some stress level at an all time high. My dream was such an insane jumble of scenarios saying it out aloud was just so bizarre. I do get a lot of jump/cut scenes in my dreams. So that bit isn’t unusual.

    Then I wake up.

    So I used to tell these weird dreams to my friend when I was in primary and her father used to always say I was fibbing. LOL.

    If I could ever write this stuff, I’d be a modern day Kafka. Hahahahah.

  • Vinyl finds today are a recording of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, the guys Bugs Bunny plays with. I have 4 of their records now, it's just like famous tunes and greatest classical hits but nicely done and a box set of Rusalka by Dvorak too. Last week I got a box set of The Merchant of Venice and over the next week I'll be playing all my Shakespeare records. :)

    But mainly I took another bag of stuff to the opshop. 👍
