Saturday rest.

Lifting, engineering study, and 18 mile long run done. Then time spent outside, going to Rowley's and Splash Summit. Then cybersecurity, music, art, and reading/writing, all done with relative depth. Cleaned while listening to audiobooks. Dinner, code, games, internet, maybe watch a quick show or movie, then sleep.  Sleep. After a week of only sleeping 6.5-7 hours a night, my body can finally sleep in as long as needed. As a result, even despite 240mg caffeine that morning, I slip into rest. Maybe in the morning, I will explore lucid dreaming and astral projection, but tonight I rest.  The cool sheets sink into me, and I sink into my soft mattress. I hold a pillow and rest my head on another pillow. My earplugs combine with the brown noise from Alexa and the hum of the ceiling fan to block out everything else. I'm in my comfiest clothes, light as possible for summer. The air conditioning is coming through.  Nothing matters anymore. None of all my fears, like: We're all go...

freshman -> senior year at BYU be like

Freshman year: Imagine falling in love here! Imagine taking a walk with her - whoever she may be - hand-in-hand by the duck pond under a starlit night, listening to the stream. You could work on assignments together and be in love and know you'd spend eternity together! I'd practically skip around the campus just thinking about her when we're apart!  Senior year: I am going to blast ICP and ignore everyone because I am completely out of energy and this place is hopeless. Love my coursework though. But I relate to absolutely zero of these people. I'm done. CHECK OUT.

"build your summer home somewhere else."

Or in the case of the Osmonds, put your entertainment complex somewhere else.  Not in Provo Canyon. Come on, really? I practically live up there. The peace of my summer Saturday long runs up there is one of the few things that's kept me going the past few years.  I didn't even know there was a "gravel pit", but it doesn't matter. The construction and traffic will ruin it. Hopefully, the groups keep fighting. Holy hell I hate politics.  Previously my opinion of the Osmonds was "yeah, they exist I guess" and now it's "who the hell are these people? Get away from our canyon."

The All About Animation facebook page is UNHINGED

We interrupt my final coding block of the night (and I really need to wrap this up, I'm wiped) for a quick WTF moment.  Dude has been whining about TADC for weeks, but whatever. I love animation. I can tolerate it. I like the page overall.  Finally, this person watches the finale at the theater -- so they've watched all of TADC -- and they freak out about it. They hate Gooseworx, they hate the voice actors, and apparently it's a show for white queer people who don't care about anyone but themselves.  My brother in Christ. You watched the whole series. The entire show. You are just as bad as those of us who you are slamming.  Also, you're not progressive if you mock queer people. It doesn't matter what race they are. You cannot mock queer people as a whole, for being queer, and that's what you are doing.  LMAO  Unfollowed.  And I'm still a TADC fan and I like my little Gummigoo keychain plush.  What the hell? Unhinged. This person needs a job. And ...

Airlearn DROPPED, HeyJapan time

I dropped Duolingo Japanese because they didn't integrate kana well. I hated having it as a separate tab. I also wasn't learning any grammar. I kept duo for Spanish though.  I tried Airlearn and thought it was good at first. Actually, it sucks. It advances too quickly and does NOT review well, if it reviews at ALL before testing. Terrible design.  Now I'm trying HeyJapan. So far, it makes sense AND you can watch anime clips, and I'm only on the free version rn too.

The average person's risk assessment is confusing to me.

First off, re Oliver Tree: I never had a strong desire to ride in a helicopter and I'm probably just going to avoid them forever now, barring a medical emergency.  I love airplanes though. Well, maybe not how cramped economy is, or how dry the cabins are, or how people always close their windows now, or that one time I got stranded overnight in Vegas.  But generally? Planes are enjoyable to me. I like when they drop in the air! And I like the uninterrupted study time (unless the person in front of me almost destroys my laptop by putting down their seat while I have my tray table up. Dude, really? Breeze extra legroom, here I come.).  I also love roller coasters, water slides, and carnival rides...obviously.  Carnival rides are actually statistically just as safe as fixed rides. Why? They've got to be inspected, by LAW, every time they're constructed. People blow out of proportion the rare incidents of negligence.  Two helicopters colliding? Miss me with that cra...
