I would like pizza. I have a pizza base to use. But that would involve turning on the oven when my apartment is currently still cool. Dilemma.

Solution: have the pizza arrive by car 😁 the base will be fine until the next pizza.

I wouldn't be turning the oven on.

TOO LATE!! I figured I am fighting a losing battle because I need to open a window in the space I use for drying clothes. I put on the exhaust fan and will hope for the best

I'm starting to wonder if the last falcon is ever going to leave the ledge

I feel like I should save and back up any pictures or music I want to keep onto a hard drive and maybe even have a few versions.

Annoyed that I haven’t done so already because it’s a complete no brainer but life has basically been survival mode for a very long time and any kind of organisation has fallen by the wayside. Even now it seems like a mammoth task.

Physical media just seems like a sensible way to go. I envy the people who are organised and disciplined enough to ‘go caveman’, and also the people who can wrangle Linux.

While going through saving old pictures to my computer I found some of my old art. Doxable so I won’t post it.

But how the hell is it better and more prolific than my art now? To be fair it was basically just copying pictures I liked but there’s some original stuff in there. And back then I didn’t have access to any of the resources I do now, no education on fundamentals other than some completely forgotten lessons as a kid, nothing. I didn’t know to do frames or shapes. I just did the contour lines and paid close attention to the space between them. The hands are a bit wonky but I drew hands wtf.

I guess it’s just elbow grease. Which I’m currently so very short on 😮‍💨
