Today I went swimming! I hadn’t been swimming in 4 years and I forgot how much I like it. Also, real life water caustics are ridiculously good.

I’m on episode 17 of “Your Lie in April”. Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh, what’s going to happen???

Sidewalks are monotonous. I really appreciate fun features like stepping stones and alternate paths. Maybe the monotony is necessary to make the fun features fun.

I’m on episode 13 of “Your Lie in April” and it’s getting so good. Now I’ve got to learn piano! xD

Today I played Rainbow Road on Mario Kart for the first time. I drove off the edge at least 10 times xD I also continued watching “Your Lie in April” and the episode 12 intro is such a vibe. Just wow.

I’m still enjoying watching “Your Lie in April”. I love how the creators are willing to devote whole episodes to individually setting up side characters. (Or are they side characters? 🧐)

I’m so thankful for TinEye.com (reverse image search). I use it almost daily to find original versions memes and artworks. It’s literally so good.

Today I had a lot of fun playing with NeuralBlender.com, an AI art generator. I’d type in random stuff and get funny (or terrifying) images back. Sometimes they even have watermarks xD Here’s some of my favorites:

I’m enjoying playing ukulele and guitar. I’m not very skilled, but it’s fun to just play. I really like the contrast between ukulele and guitar. It’s so refreshing to switch between them.

I’m enjoying rain. I love rain so much. It’s been raining almost continuously since last night and it’s so good. mi olin mute e telo tan sewi.

I’m enjoying watching “Your Lie in April”. It’s very different from “Violet Evergarden”, but I really like it so far.

Today I modified Spray Paint to slowly erase the canvas as I draw. It’s a weird way to draw, but it feels really good. I never run out of space and it doesn’t matter if all the lines are wrong because they only exist for a minute. It feels like a counterpart to the unplugged…

Today I watched Advice For Artists Who Are Too Hard On Themselves by Adam Duff. It hit me like a ton of bricks. A ton of gentle, kind bricks. I’ve watched it four times now. If the title speaks to you even a little, please give it a try.

Mowing the lawn: Questions. Is there a “people who mow lawns” subculture? Does anyone else think about making the lines straight? Grass. Why is there so much of it? Why do we devote so much of our lives to limiting its potential? Who decided that grass was a good idea? In fact, who decided that…

I’ve been enjoying playing Mario Kart Wii. I had never played any kind of Mario Kart until a few days ago. It’s super fun! The drifting and Mini-Turbos feel great.

Today I made myself a big breakfast with fried eggs, peanut butter toast, tea, and a banana. Feels so good. I don’t know why I don’t make myself breakfast more often; it’s the perfect way to start my day.
