Fall-ish album, was my top play of the week. Just outstanding, stirring stuff, probably one of my top five favorite albums ever. Every year I feel like my favorite song here changes, right now it’s Simple Twist of Fate. Other years it’s been, Meet Me In Morning, You’re A Big Girl Now, next year who knows.

it’s only a year old at this point but a perfect listen this time of year especially. brooding and melancholy but like somehow not depressing.

one day i was on the work computer and i wanted to find more Fruits Magazines and came across dozens of pdfs on are.na!!! it's catered towards design and architecture students it's the loveliest tool as a casual internet user. it's self financed with premiums (no ads) plus it's minimalistic and easy to use - it organizes pictures, websites, and pdfs into these sections called channels. there is no algorithm it's purely based on hunter and gatherer vibes i started using it recently and have found countless channels of historical zines, 90s/2000s perfume ads, bare bone websites built with just html, old blogs, and so much more. i think perfectly imperfect and are.na are proof that the internet is well and alive!
just attached one of the channels i follow it's a collection of vintage Japanese advertisements and graphics :*)

* waking up early. i know this is possible i am Done starting my day so late. i want to wake up early, clear my mind, and read for 15-20 minutes (another habit i've been trying to build)
* more walks. i am surrounded by a number of trails and parks i pass by daily but have not personally ventured yet
* a new album every day! i love listening to new music it fills me with so much joy especially an album all the way through which i believe is the Right way to listen to new music
* writing ... not entirely journaling i realize i am not consistent enough for that but noting down present thoughts lists doodles words i like in a tiny field notes ... (ex. list of things im grateful for that day, month/day/year - love the way this sweater feels on me, tweet i would like to share but can't at the time) (yes, this is all possible in the notes app but i want to shift from the notes app to field notes)
* knitting!!! getting back into the groove of fiber arts for a couple of minutes every day. i think the trouble is trying to find the motivation for it but i have to remind myself the reasons why i do it to begin with: leaving something tangible behind, inspiring others, furthering my identity and interests
tentative habits list, more will be added!

weird as in cool and eclectic and niche
i follow an artist who works with mold, a guy who does art on Desmos, an old guy who makes milkshakes, a collector of Japanese photography, a ginger guy whose name i can't remember but they're super into ancient languages and translation, a number of fashion archivists and fibre artists, and more
instagram will be more fun and you will scroll reels less
