Same on the weather. "In like a lion" this year means Seattle weather.

Introspection while sick is tough work. Impressive as always.

That all sounds lovely though. Mad respect for vegan bakers who can make do without the normal fats in the recipes. The tea latte thing kinda got popularized from starbucks debuting a "chai tea latte" in the 90's and they appeared in every major American metro simultaneously. Honestly, the store probs launched the "tea concentrate" idea because you can't trust Americans to brew an honest cup of tea. I googled it and the Guardian had a fun write-up on the history of the beverage. Best quote: He's bizarrely anti-metronome too! Something about how he treasures the individual differences in each player, and his biggest priority is to get his students playing pieces where they go through a piece once as written, then hit the bar repeat and improv sections for the successive times through, with their own feel for the timing. V confuse but sounds impressive. But yes, you're spot on with the play-along suggestion. Pray for me, now, and at the hour of my open mic.

I don't hate this! Not different at all, step-ups use full posterior chain. Sorry I missed that part of the brief!

The filthy bastards do teas and tea lattes, there's no hiding from their menu. Which of course is seasonal with short runs on specialty drinks, to make it even more tempting to my bougie ass. Are tea lattes a thing on your side of the Atlantic? Mostly just steamed milk with a strong tea concentrate instead of espresso. Much wisdom you haz, and always appreciated. Sadly, slow isn't an option for this exercise as my sadist of a teacher is doing speed runs to get us on faster tempos, and then we'll smooth it out after we've got the skeleton of the song nailed to a higher BPM. But fingers staying closer to the frets is def an improvement to work on.

銀公雞的光輝長廊 (Beware of Chicken) 貪得無厭的班卓人無情 (Banjo Practice) Reeaallly productive practice session last night generating this vid. Wish it had been cleaner sound quality or a smoother playthrough, but leaning into beginners mind here. Banjo idol of the day is the legendary Dom Flemons on a 4-string, playing with Rhiannon Giddens and Malcom Parson in their 2005-2014 group, the Carolina Chocolate Drops. This vid goes hard af. 光榮但笨重的泰坦研究卑微但不知疲倦的螞蟻 (Barbell Volume) Squat 3x3 90% 3x8 65% Leg press 3x8 60% Single leg extension paused 3x8 60% Yoga 流浪的風知道自己的心意 (Life Updates) Forced myself to have a friend come over for lunch on Tuesday so I'd be forced to clean while Liam is gone. Pleasant visit and I then reveled in a freshly sterilized bathroom and kitchen. Dropping my SSRI by 5mg, part of the larger plan to drop the SSRI altogether since my SNRI and ADHD med seem to be controlling the diagnoses p well. Psychiatrist supervised; god bless people who have to manage mental health without a professional, this world is fucking rough. Birthday tattoo designs are in the works, standby for fun mockups. New coffee shop opened just south of me. Vid on IG to show off the the sun drenched interior, including a community meeting room and a plant adoption center; I'm obsessed.

I maintain that "calmer but sleepy" is peak March energy. You're a good sibling. Will you lose the ability to hang with Brometheus in person after the move? Step ups? Perhaps step-ups while holding dumbbells? In theory step ups are a transitional exercise before moving to pistol squats, but that theory can fuck off. Step-ups also seem safer/more injury resistant to load heavy?? What about this as a collarbone tattoo?? The obnoxious fraktur font is, of course, mandatory.

You make many good points. Not to dwell overmuch on a topic un-comfy for some, it is nice to have a rare socializing thing where everyone is there for the same hobby, like a board game night. Mayhaps people still have individual preferences and styles at board game night, but there's a nicely limited set of social scripts to parse. This, also, is a good point, therefore Bob shall not be bean-bagged in the face. Bob shall, however. be tea-bagged. That is unrelated to our conversation thus far, but Bob is both consenting and severely into it.

Holy shit yes. Obviously my favorite is the "I workout to eat second breakfast", but that's because my DNA test says I'm 100% that bitch a hobbit.

I'm detecting zero flaws in not doing anything. Maybe assign yourself x number of jobs to apply for, then fuck off with your four footed family? Like the monster below.

I loooove that site!! What kind of vibes or colors are you thinking? Asking because I'll happily spend company time looking for fun suggestions, and then be vicariously pumped when you pick whatever tf makes you happy.

I love your home gym!! I do think you're sadly missing some rad art for your wall, but it's otherwise perfect. Perhaps it needs a name? like, "the temple of gainz"?

I feel this so hard. You deserve a medal for identifying and meeting this need. We will be needing pictures of this, because it sounds amazing

Sounds like a lovely day! What game are you playing?

Saaame. same. At what point in the existing challenge did you start mentally designing your next challenge?

Love this reading, hate this cold. Make sure to get paxilovid if you test positive for the 'rona.

Legit, this was my December. The only people I saw were the two humans who live with me, and the handful of friends that I knew well enough to have them just walk in my house without knocking. I'm slightly more social now that spring is coming, but it still takes a craft fair, group sex, or a nice coffee shop to make me want to leave the house. No. I hate it when people talk at the gym. Short friendly exchanges are fine, but there should be an employee with a beanbag gun at every gym. Whenever someone goes into a second sentence while talking with someone at the gym, beanbag to the face.

Affirming that it's okay to not be okay, or; you are still valid while overwhelmed. Would it be helpful if folks posted CBT type stuff? Also very okay if you just needed to vent and don't want input in return.

銀公雞的光輝長廊 (Beware of Chicken) 貪得無厭的班卓人無情 (Banjo Practice) My teacher is a sadist. He rewarded me with praise for rendering clean playthroughs of John Hardy, and since no good deed goes unpunished, had us do 3/4 speed on both Foggy Mountain and John Hardy. I'll try for an IG vid of a faster John Hardy by Tuesday night. That should keep the fear of god in me while Liam is out of town this week. Banjo idol for the day is the superlative Rhiannon Giddens. Words fail over this woman. Just watch and pay homage. 支撐世界的烏龜必須自己更換無價的外殼 (Moving Prep) Craft Area: Store until after the move Altar/Diorama random ass craft shit 🔲 Percussion 🔲 Store until after the move - climate controlled Resin 🔲 Acrylics & Watercolor 🔲 Crochet 🔲 Polymer Clay (I think the clay is stable in the 90-100f Wisconsin summers, but the glazes and sealants can be heat reactive) 🔲 Keep accessible but organized Beads🔲 Costuming✅ 3d printing✅ Garage Cleanout✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅🔲 🔲 🔲 🔲 Christmas shit✅ 短暫的鑿子賦予了看不見的奇蹟以形式 (Sculpture Production) None of the above happened.

So that was wildly optimistic. Lovely humans that I only saw in the evenings while they were here, but I swear to god, the smallest change in my schedule sometimes turns my life upside down. Week of short workouts is over! I still might hold off on doing laps between sets, but I'm cleared for non-essential work again. My Liam is headed to an academic conference this week, which means I'll have the last week of this challenge to play catch-up on my punch list.

You do lovely work sea-to-sky! What a fun idea for these weird transition seasons, like the almost-spring we're having in the Great Lakes region.

What do we think so far? Hard to be creative while in sleep debt. I support your choices. Life partner, butter, and wine? Yisssss

Don't have to ask me twice. I'll try tonight

Friday nap buddies!! Great colors!! How long do you usually make these socks? Nap fridays def have a novel reading time slot or two

It's going to be gorgeous either way All three sound wonderful!

從竹林中開採出來的閃閃發光的寶石 (Rewards Deliberation) Suck it mes chiennes!! $5 for 100 bottles in 0.5oz size!! The only catch is that my project needs the bottles to not be clear, but fuck, for that price, I’ll spray paint or print stickers to make the bottles opaque. This frees up like $45 fucking dollars for beads. Yiiissssssssss. You haz much wisdom! Sadly eBay’s average price is $3/ bottle, with bulk deals only down to $1/bottle. That’d be fine if I wanted 5-10, but i need more in the 50-100 range. Very happy that this other deal exists!
