- these unskippable 2 minute ads on youtube are really putting me off from watching most of the videos I click to see based on the creator. I like that creator, yes. but not enough to sit through two minutes of an ad I'm not even interested in.
- wasps. hate'em. Have been obsessively spraying for about a day now.
- I have too much house work to do and not enough hours or energy points. or money to hire someone else to do it haha, rest in peace to me.
- those jelly fish aquarium live streams are a game changer when you've got a child fighting sleep. however, it looks like they too turn the lights off around 11pm.

And other things the YT altgorithm does in middle of the night to snatch you from the jaws of ad-blocked sleep. Everything I know about urban sprawl, buccal fat removal, Sergei Ponomarenko, ulexite, Microsoft interview logic puzzle questions, Klein bottles, Constantinople, IKEA’s 2024 catalogue (10 best new products), the core-ification of everything, the mysteries of the Wallace Line, and deep-sea sharks I learned in a borderline fugue state between the hours of 2 and 4 am, under a strange spell of free association… a spiraling descent into hypnosis by way of information overload… flashes of sound and image that felt like distant cousins of the Ludovico technique… and low key… i will almost certainly go back for more

there's a ruhafza pink shopping bag in the car, a large mixed media journal and some oil pastel gel pens i spontaneously bought from walmart last week - from a splurge shop to make myself feel better and less alone - always for those split second moments of spontaneous art, and today happened to be that day. i drew the child in the park. the child is now asleep in his crib. good night.

because i have a child and i want him to be 10x the creative that i am
a few instagram reels have gotten me onto this tangent
- paper making. because the mail is always clogged up with useless junk that I don't like throwing away. this will be such a good alternative. i plan on using some of the dyes I have at home (unfortunately, all of my dyes are food related dyes, so I have yellow turmeric and then typical desi red-orange food dyes for biryani, and then the forever favorite, coffee!) the only thing I will have to buy is the frame for making the paper. I am thinking the best size would be a5.
- flower pressing. not planning on buying anything for that, I already have a heck ton of heavy medicine books that will suffice, but i do need flowers to start with, one of these days i would like for us to go out to some kind of u pick farm for that, i think my little spawn would like that very much.
- glass jar design. will have to buy mod-podge or whatever that is to make cute designs on jars. we have a LOT of jars, it's the only way to get the instant coffee crystals that I buy and consume daily so I have too many now and they are clogging my window sill. again, mod-podge and will have to think about what design to put on them so they all look like a matched set (although the pressed flowers would be absolutely delightful). I am thinking about using them for aesthetically storing tea bags and drink mixes.
- little plant cans, cause i buy fairly big cans of tomato puree (im trying to get my husband to plant actual tomatoes and not cherry tomatoes in the backyard so I don't have to keep buying tomato puree from the store) and putting little compost items in the bottoms (i am thinking egg shells, coffee grounds and other kitchen waste), some soil on top and then putting in green onions and harvesting as much as possible before it all becomes a compost tin for the next larger plant pot (for green onions, I cut as much as possible, chop what I get and freeze them for use whenever needed)
