today's song lyrics

Been listening to a lot of the Plagues album lately. It's so good. I wake another day, and I Can't help but wonder why Some seem to have it all, while others suffer like myself. .. Close your eyes so tightly, So no liquid can escape  And point your chin at the sun Keep the blackness at bay.  - Ghostemane That's the beauty of the summertime. Close your eyes, tilt your head back, feel the sun on your face. Submerge yourself in water and drown the blackness out. 

You certainly have a very big...Heart

This screenshot is SO dodgy lmao.  I'm glad they released a few episodes of this in English. I had managed to snag a bunch of videos in Fr*nch (🤢) with subtitles but didn't get around to watching them. Dubs work better for me since I'm usually doing my running injury prevention work and stretches while watching shows on my phone. Absolutely love the art. JUST LOOK AT THE CHUBBY LIL MARMOT Character designs are the cutest. I need to get some screenshots of Versailles itself. The landscape (cityscape?) art is absolutely gorgeous.  Show: Belfort and Lupin. 

And here's the frozen fruit

That's what I keep hearing every time I listen to Centuries by Fall Out Boy.  But I just took a family member's suggestion about eating frozen fruit as someone who struggles to eat fruits and vegetables. I just ate a very small amount of it today -- but it was a brilliant idea. It seems that my sensory issues are just not there when it's frozen.  I would eat a chocolate covered strawberry at Zupas a few times a year, and maybe have some in an acai bowl, but this is the first time I've been able to eat a strawberry and not go "ew it's squishy" and have to force it down. Even though I like the flavor of them, I just can't do the texture. But frozen fruit has hardly any texture at all. It's like eating a popsicle.   And I think frozen will last longer too.  I will conclude with a complimentary reminder that keto sucks and it's for chumps and you need carbs. I'm still mad about that week I had to eat toasted hot dog buns for breakfast because ...

Need a new slot for coding in my schedule

I switched cybersecurity and IT studies to the morning during breakfast and it works. But code is supposed to come after my shower and before work.  Showering almost always pushes right against work though. And coding requires sitting down and going for it, usually. Except when writing algos and psuedocode. So, it hasn't been happening really.  Note: work coding doesn't count. Absolutely not. My ambitions are far beyond what a single professional position can teach me. Also, my studies should -- in theory -- make me much more able and efficient at work as a side effect.  As it stands, my evenings currently allow for more creative focus. I like that a lot -- but I might have to experiment with pushing code down there anyway and just be efficient with it, then slide into creativity as before. I can't fall behind. Top 1% or bust. 

Lyrics of the day

I forgot how to smile, can somebody show me? Then again I never knew, I just put on a show I cannot recall a time that I did not wanna keep my face under the surface of acid Filling up my bathtub and dissolving in it until I am bone ... You a big shot, now you think you Satan's son, huh? Until you see him face-to-face, and then he drags you under. ~ Ghostemane  

SCERA pool is filled up for the summer!

Image
Lindon hasn't emailed or called me back about accidentally buying two passes. Slackers. I am going to have to keep bothering them, which I hate hate hate hate doing.  BUT  I took my evening walk at Scera yesterday. It's my precursor to actually swimming there, which starts in a few weeks. I wanted to see if the pool was filled up and yes, it is! So excited to get flying down those slides again. It will be nice to have such an early Memorial Day weekend, meaning lots of May outdoor swimming days. 23rd through 31st.  Maybe earlier if my apartment opens up the pool early, but it's looking pretty gross right now, so probably not. I don't think it's close to being ready. 

things that Redditors hate

Image
the heat. Have you noticed that Redditors are constantly complaining about it? I'm the opposite; I complain about the cold all the time. I wish it would always be hot. Redditors all love the autumn (I do too, but I hate that winter is next) and also they all seem to live in Texas where they talk about how awesome winter is. Bro if you live in Texas you probably don't experience much of a winter at all (though I remember Galveston being a bit chilly in late Dec).  perfume and cologne. Perfume and cologne haters are ALL OVER that site, and it feels like every single Redditor is deathly allergic to fragrance and will asphyxiate in the presence of a scent that isn't their own excruciatingly severe body odor. I swear these scent-haters pop out of the most random places like little whack-a-moles. If you believed that Reddit was representative of reality, you would never wear fragrances.  personally, I LOVE when people wear scents. Please wear more; it's quite nice.  I can...
