[Evening] Comfy dinner talk.

Yeah, they feel really rugged, kinda like if an ak-47 was a laptop. No bells and whistles, just yknow, straight up utilitarianism.

Yeah, I guess that is always an option. Just figured it would be easier to install it on a slightly newer computer.

I'll always have Xubuntu on my other one though if I ever want to use it for some reason.

I fixed an old zippo lighter. The previous owner don't know how mechanical things work, so they bought a lighter and used it until all liquid was gone and the wick burnt out, apparently. 5 minutes of work and it's alive.
Feels great to fix things.

I found a new tea mix at the store. Ginger, peppermint, lemograss and lemon skins. It warms up and brings up longing for winter.

How can you like winter? I hate it with a passion, and I think I might actually have a minor form of seasonal depression or something. I've been feeling so much better since summer began.

I'm not that anon, but it feels great to sit indoors during the winter with a significant other and stare out the window whilst drinking spiced tea.
I suppose it's a matter of taste.

Ginger, peppermint, lemongrass and lemon skins.
Sounds very nice!

I have strong mixed feelings about winter.
What depresses me about it is how you have to keep going with your daily routine but it's often more difficult due to the weather, work seems more stressful, you go to work when it's still dark and you come how when it's also dark. Barely seeing any sunlight.
At the same time, I like the off days, when you can go for a walk, take it easy, warm up next to the heater with a warm drink. When lucky it might even freeze a bit and the whole town comes out to go skating.

Yeah, there are aspects of winter I enjoy (particularly around the holidays) but after that it slowly just gets more and more depressing for me.

I feel terrible during summer. Insane heat boils by brain, I can't think properly, I can't read, I'm covered in that stage of sweat when it becomes sticky and disgusting. We have TWO air conditioners in the coffee shop, TWO of them, and they barely keep 22 degrees celsuis together. No, they are not broken. And I have not yet lived in a domicicle which has an ac.
At least I can wrap myself in sweaters and coats (which, I'm sorry, are COMFY) and balance cold during winter.
There's nothing you can do in summer.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Sweat doesn't bother me that much, and I'd rather be hot than cold. Although I do love snuggling up in a big fluffy blanket in the winter.

Difference in personalities I guess.

My friend, seersucker everything, Hawaiian shirts, gym shorts. Better than wearing nothing at all, since they block light AND radiate the heat away.

Having some very fine Sushi at a restaurant right now, everything looks high quality. I hope this place is good, had too many bad/mediocre places in my area.

On my way back. It was very delicious, so far the best place I'd say.
Trivial anecdote;
While sitting at the window, I peered outside while waiting for the food. Outside there were traffic lights and whenever it turned red, I could perfectly see the cars and their drivers waiting there. One time a fairly young couple waited there and the guy looked straight into the restaurant i.e. at me. I was bored anyway and for thr lulz waved at him because he was almost staring. He smiled and waved back then the lights turned green and they drove off.
Fast forward 10 minutes and guess who also enteres the sushi restaurant? Yep. They went past our table, he turned around and waved again. I was somehow embarrassed but at the same time very amused. He was friendly and took it as the joke it was supposed to be.

Sounds like a cozy experience.

Out of pure boredom and need for a break from the internet I decided to paint today. I've always been terrible at it and that stopped me from doing it, but today I didn't care. I think it was very good for me, and helped me take my mind off things. Even if it was a bit frustrating lol. I produced one painting I'm happy-ish with, and the other two I crumpled up half-way through.

I think I need some more hobbies that don't involve my computer.

I asked if we could date and they said no. I'm kinda bummed about it but it's waned over and I'm okay with it. I've tried this crazy date and raisin wine and it was fantastic. I've been laughing so hard with a friend telling stories and silly things that my chest hurts.

I feel alive again. Sharing laughter and joy is wonderful.

>>91
How warm and lovely!

I hope you all have had wonderful evenings with many more to come. If you're ever feeling down, not comfy, sad or just plain uncomfortable, ask someone to share to share some laughter and silliness with you. Sometimes a good jolt of dumb, slapstick hilarity can lift what seems like a planet on your shoulders.

Anon, the fact that you did it is a good thing.
If you can make it a habit to paint, maybe every week or every day if you are courageous, I'm sure you will get more and more out of it.
I find drawing to be very frustrating at times but a worthwhile challenge, I've challenged myself to draw every day some 2.5 years ago and I'm still going with lots of ups and downs but what it comes down to is that it takes my mind off of the computer (which is my job) and even gave me a few opportunities to socialize by going to figure drawing sessions.

Anyway, I hope you keep painting. Getting started is always the hardest, at least it was for me but it's really worth it and getting an honest compliment from another person is a wonderful feeling.

Thank you, anon. I don't know if I'll be able to do it every day, but I'm definitely going to make an effort to do it more often. Even if I never get good at it, it's still fun and even a bit therapeutic.

No need to push yourself. For me it helped to set a relatively simple daily task, it made it easier to keep going and all I do is draw anyway so I can just pick up a sketchbook whenever I need.
I hope you can keep it up.

I take transit to work. It's an hour and a half each way. I've been using this time to do some light reading. Recently caught up on Spice and Wolf and Youjo Senki.
I hope in future volumes we'll get more short stories of Lawrence and Holo during their travels. Tales from their bathhouse are fine, but I really liked their stories while on the road more.
It's only been 2 weeks, I've pretty much forgotten what happened in vol6 of Youjo Senki, except for Sue being a complete idiot. Gonna have to reread this before vol7.
I think I'm going to start on That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime next.

I'm enjoying work now more than I have recently. I had been working alone on a project that started in February that slowed down due to the time it takes to get things approved and to request information needed to proceed. But now, I'm on a new project with 2 others and tasks are getting completed and sent out at a good pace. It's nice to have others that you can really discuss your project with instead of just reporting to a manager.

kind of a shame...

Had a sausage/egg/cheese croissant (and a muhfuggin coffee) from Tim Horton's this am.

Now I'm sitting at work watching it lightly rain and everyone in the office is leaving me to my own devices.

Let's get comfy my dudes

I feel like I haven't been as creative as I should be recently, and I think it's affecting me in negative ways. I don't like that everything I do in my free time is consuming rather than creating. Because of this I've decided to force myself to spend 30 minutes every other day writing and 30 minutes every other day practicing programming. Hopefully it'll help me feel like I'm doing something productive in some of my free time.

I've felt the same way this past week. I've not been doing much of anything this past week because of being suck, and I feel dull and like a waste. Fortunately I've also forced myself to do some programming even when I felt shit, and it's helped a bit.
What type of writing do you like to do?

Just fictional short stories and poems. It's the only art form I'm even remotely good at, unless you count programming as an art form.

I used to be really into writing, but I kind of realized I was shit, so I stopped (that and I stopped enjoying it much). I would really like to continue a bit, but I think it'd be more fun to make some sort of ARG out of a story.

Same here. I recently moved from a low to a mid-altitude mountainous area.

In my previous home region, winter was getting depressing. It really was becoming a long autumn-y season: rainy, gray skies and shit.

Now I get to enjoy RealWinter™, and its snowy luminous landscapes.

Friend at work put in his notice. I have to pick up stuff he’ll no longer be doing. No raise, of course. Otherwise, an okay day, cold though.

Not too bad - I was exhausted this week and the last so my partner and I took it easy this weekend. Got a lot of work done on my server and overall feeling refreshed!
