though w/ the bumping the trip earlier ill ideally have more time in warsaw! more time for more food acquisition... (and small things of soplica lmao)
also snackies for transit, unless i already crack into the smaller pack of pan di stelle i intended as a gift for a friend living not far off but they're feeling too unwell today to meet so :,) ill send healing vibes as i crack into it unless i get other snackies
(tho i do have some pistachios aswell)
ill gather the first-day-of-period-debuffed strength to haul myself to toilet, then to nearest grocery store for something to cook, then cook sth, then maybe just sort of. go to bed and Rest
then 7:45am train out (bumped it earlier to allow for bus replacement service bullshit chaos margin potential for the middle bit of trip)
the beds in this hostel room are so nice and wide
also someone has maybe a wifi hotspot named "hella good" lol
toilet flushing noise as i delete 74 emails no longer necessary
side quest: write to fest email about a couple of lost things, sometime soon (maybe once on reliable internet)
once i get home (next wednesday evening) i'll probably proceed thus...
wed eve: unpack, laundry, kittyvisit, groceries, big fuckoff sleep
thurs: just do fuck-all and play idk mario kart or animal crossing or somesuch all day (ft food). and go thru all my trip pics+vids n sort em out
bus brakes sharply & suddenly, the overhead luggage slides forward a good distance
kittycircuit spanning one brisk block of standalone houses then - late summer evening seems to be the optimal time for maximal kitty
and i declare the polybean tuxes classic cos iirc i first saw one of them in 2017!
and then the 2 classic tux kitties probably both polydactyl who aren't too long ways off kittycircuit
theyre all loosely associated w some house or other so at least some of them probably already neutered/spayed
say what one may about outdoor roaming cats being an ecological threat, still brings me joy to see these mfs
kittycircuit walks' sightings
- orange tux - ok enough with pets
- whitenose calico - SUPER friendly doesnt even mind belly rubs
- brownnose calico - friendly
- blacknose calico - friendly
- Really Soft - friendly
- exotic coat - timid
- black tux - timid
- colorpoint - inconclusive findings, was chilling too out of range within a yard
[oli xl voice] its saturday, today,
(from intro of one of the rinse fm mixes)
*surprisingly many words are unsafe from oli-association in my brain. and/or surprisingly few
they lost the late evening bus i occasionally took back home - disappointing but not surprising
[---] Instead, I’d like to propose that we carve out a new space for precious documents we would like to preserve even if the cloud wasn’t around. Do the curatorial work to keep our data fresh. Export your Are.na channels. Take screen recordings of websites that you like, to supplement the work of the Wayback Machine. Prune your harddrives from time to time; convert files to long-lasting formats like JPEG, PDF, or JSON. Capture and archive the interfaces, thoughts, and documents created in software systems that are always changing.
There’s an aphorism that once you put something online it’s there forever, but this is proving to be less and less the case. And as we see with magnetic tape storage, the cloud is very much a material thing—backed up by hardware and maintained in sprawling facilities, with a real and growing environmental cost. These conditions call for us to be more discerning about the caliber of memory we record. Instead of acting like a cloud storage provider and putting everything in “cold” storage, let’s keep our most treasured memories warm.
(memory banks by megumi tanaka for are.na)
in my break, i think i want to consolidate myself a little. get rid of some material things, clear out a cupboard. return to my website. thats what im dreaming of right now. (x)
real

coming through right about now, tranceparty's very own,
SERETIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE
yea
i would go enjoy the solstice outside but still got this cold to fend off...
having a printer sooo fucking nice lowkey... no need to rely on others to Print Stuff
more stable the past couple of days.
strat after work tmrw (fortunately just 6hr shift and not solo) - probably maybe also retreat to sofa under blanket, with tea or somesuch. try fix my health best i can before 23rd cos rlly wanna go hang out w bestie at their parents'. does seem to be clearing up slowly.
uhhhhh what else. maybe chuck one of the two kinds of grill sausage either in the oven or in the freezer for later perusal, leave the other for midsummer haul-along. shashlik to my parents sunday stealth.
prepare for trip by buying the last of the bus tix i need to buy. make a list of what to do before the actual trip (water plants, unplug stuff, toss the drying-up little bouquet, clean, blinds down maybe. pack obvs!!!), print out the camping reg form and id copy for one of the fests i'll be catchinggg (finally the link for it works too)
think i might be a bit too timid on the doc visit front but i probably still really should even just for a more certain fix than throwing painkillers and throatsoothers at this
strat tn after work: mug of hot cocoa and curl up to read or just listen to mynoise ambience
the smilepage is the part of my site i visit the most. and it's especially cute with the little heartprint-upon-click/tap script and custom video controls, combined. see the one bit on the progressbar (round when the vox come in in the song) being proliferated w the lil hearts? :,]
i might lift the video embed out from the first-year round on the page sometime... not a high priority right now, but something to think about still.
like - literally, so much of what i find myself in is either made up or conditioned
play silly games (dress recognizably), win silly prizes (actually be recognized)
thinking about the end of an exchange i saw once (related to josm)
I really don’t care , sorry
That's okay. Not every hill is one to die on.

that there are grand majestic natural features out in the world that seem to be widely recognised as beautiful does not make gentle snowfall on a quiet cold winter night any less so
as per some1 else on the thoughtspage 'ring:

real as fuck + shoutout wesley for real for maintaining this lil thing + i do pay cos im currently able to :p
backing off & letting the magic work itself for some areas -- getting hands-on & bringing the effort necessary for other areas

-friend's advice for packing
i think at the core of all this i just want to fully be a benevolent weirdo in peace in my day-to-day at least someplace without being questioned and judged for it.
remember not to think hard about people who didn't think at all
incorporating this in2 my world view Right Now in conscious form
a friend went like "im a staunch proponent of literally ignoring every celebrity" in some chat a while back and ive increasingly become aligned to that shit too
sometimes i don't know what to do with all this feeling, in this particular case
it lives its own life, and i've gone off about it a lot, but still, still
deeply grateful
feels like home
