[sitting upright suddenly] what if i tried knitting.
grabbed my floppy disk drive out of storage, so now i can upload my mavica fd75 photos
going back to language studying today and said out loud "je m'appelle チューリップです！" [LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]
i hung up some prints above my bed yesterday. i still need to figure out how to hang a nonstandard size nicely (i really like that art on the museum guide...) but otherwise i'm happy with it
i used this guide and it made the hanging process so easy https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-create-a-gallery-wall-164792
i really enjoy games as a form of creative play... i set up the sims 2 on my current linux install and i've been having fun exploring custom content and making my silly little dollhouses. that and i got petz 4 running in lutris and i kinda want to remake my catsona for that lmao
getting comfortable with speaking a new language is so fucking hard. like in general it’s very hard but. it’s Nightmare Difficulty for me because i had delayed speech development as a kid. i talk much slower than everyone else i know in my own native tongue and the idea of something else is! AAAAAAA
my throat just fucking closes up. i hate it
some of the prints i wanna hang up. i might have to get creative with the milwaukee art museum guide though. i just thought the colors worked really well with everything else
i was going to study more tonight but today sucked ass and my brain is made of goop today. uuuuu
https://platinumtulip.straw.page/ i made one of these funny little pages. fun thing to decorate
tulip the cat, now with glasses

very very very quick doodle of my catsona. (they/them only)

open question: what ios clients do people like to use for the fediverse?
i love when poppy is in the sunlight and her black fur reveals its chocolate brown undertones. she's so dark roast coffee... she's so 80% cacao dark chocolate
been using noise-canceling headphones for the first time in my life. i feel like people have been telling me "dude it's worth it, especially for sensory overload" for years but holy shit: they really are great for sensory overload
meow meow meow (they/them only)
hiiiiiii

bras are a lot like computers. it's generally better to go with wired setups if you can, because it'll give you more stability, but wireless is OK too.
yeah i use a macintosh. macintosh tv
trying to recommend games to me is like trying to get a new toy for a cat. i'll give it a sniff and go "that's kind of neat i guess." and then go back to playing with the same beaten up toy i've been batting around for the past several years
I DID IT!!!!!!!!!
i took a two hour nap after taking these photos because i was so wiped from trying to do everything myself. forgot i had chronic fatigue for a while there. BUT I DID IT. I HAVE A DESK AGAIN. MY COMPUTER LIVES
damien on the iMac G3, what will he do @eramdam@social.erambert.me
felt cute for the first time in a while...

current linux setup: Kubuntu with this theme (https://store.kde.org/p/1338879/) applied and tweaked a bit. i'm trying out the light-to-dark mode lifestyle out, because i've been honestly enjoying that over on macOS.
still on Kubuntu because... eueuuughh i'm too used to Debian based distros lol. with snap ripped out, it's fine.
enjoying looking at plants that i've only seen at gardens and indoor plant conservatories and going "wow!"
got that mid 90s apple swag pt. 2
just admiring her today.
marker drawing from last night ( feat @eramdam@social.erambert.me )
im so out of practice with traditional media... but sticking to a limited color palette was an interesting challenge hehe
ah... treat...!
i am getting dangerously close to buying a spray can of light pink and/or rose gold spray paint. and when that happens, i know there's no going back to the way i once lived. no spraypaintable surface will be safe from becoming tulipcore.

scientists are still not sure how the hell caramelization works. there's still so many mysteries in this world.
i'm still not used to living with animals. having to consider things like "i need a proper closet door, or else poppy will put her little claws in all my clothes and try to climb them". but right now i am watching her sleep next to me on the couch. a little critter dreaming about mischief, probably
was updating my profiles on both mastodon and bluesky, and realized i have the same exact amount of followers on both. that shit doesn't matter, but i am amused to see the same number twice
i'm currently in the bay area (sf/oakland) for the next month or so and i have no idea where to buy good coffee beans. what are some local coffee roastery recs?
i like going out to cafes too... but i usually make coffee with freshly ground beans in my aeropress every morning lol. starting to run low on the coffee beans i brought with me...
whenever i need to kick poppy the cat out of my room bc she's being a menace, i always scoop her up and do an impression of Trip from Facade when he forcibly makes you leave
Okay. Poppy, (pause) you know what? You need to leave. We'll be fine, just GO
forgot i bought tiramisu until i opened the fridge just now. hell yeah i'll have that with a cup of coffee
well, i slipped and fell in the shower while sitting on my shower chair (betrayal...!) and that was bad. but there was a buy-one-get-one-free deal on tiramisu today, and that is good. so who can really say if my day's been bad or good

i made this post because i've been using my ipad more lately for non-art things. the screen ratio is nice. i hooked up my nuphy air96 v2 to it and using keyboard shortcuts on an ipad is, legitimately, delighting me. i can cmd+tab! i can bring up spotlight search! WOW!!!!!
spent a while thinking about chocolate chunks in ice cream today. they have to be the right size and consistency to easily melt in your mouth or be chewable, despite being suspended in a frozen treat. otherwise they just taste like chewing plastic. not enough people are talking about this.
got my first night of decent sleep in over a week. ignore the fact that i woke up at noon, i'm working on it ok,
man... summer mornings are so pleasant. love to sip on an iced coffee and everything's still a bit cool outside...!!!!
loooooooooooong day. got a lot of work ahead of me still. but now i am in bed and i have a mandarin lavender scented candle going. delightful combo, imo, very fresh and pleasant
listening to the chrono trigger jazz arrange album "The Brink of Time" for the first time, and i was not fucking prepared to hear the "IT'S THE BEGINNING OF A NEW AND EXCITINGLY DIFFERENT STORY!" sample
putting money towards making my temporary living space more comfortable instead of commissioning fursona drawings. such is life
watched the 2006 animal crossing movie for the first time... it was very very cute. my heart really needed something pleasant right now
