Started watching How to Get Away With Murder because istg everyone else has seen it. Only on episode 6, but..
Wes is annoying the absolute shit out of me. ((Do people actually like his character?)) Asher is growing on me??? Like, that was unexpected. Honestly at this point my favorite part about Connor is the absolute breakdown he has in all these “flashback” scenes ((what’s the proper term for that, when the “flashback” is actually present day and the surrounding episode is months/weeks ago)). Laurel is a lot weaker than I thought she’d be after some of the gifs I’ve seen on my dashboard, so I’m not sold on her character whatsoever. Michaela is just.. not that intriguing? IDK
The cases are more interesting than the characters themselves, so I guess I’ll keep watching for now. ((and if I get bored of it, back to SVU I go….))
tl;dr: things I’m doing instead of sorting out Hanley’s newest personality in Monochrome
monochrome reference images
I’m sorry for everything
Oh, everything I’ve done
From the second that I was born it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved
- you: able to generate and regulate body heat
- me: an ice wraith with eternally cold hands, leeching the warmth of other creatures to survive
Does the authors cry when they kill the best characters or they are laughing and having tea with the devil
When a great idea strikes but then I actually go to write it

This pretty much sums up my day!! I joined gywo so I’m working on writing 450 words today and listening to classical music with my smol rat son. As soon as my awful cold is over with I’m starting practice on audiobook recording.I’m so impressed by people who can learn languages, especially self taught. I know some asl and i know braille up to level two, but i am the Worst at learning things like that.
!! A rat! Is it true they are as smart as people say? My sisters had some pet rats for a while but that was after I was out of the house, so I never really got to see them interact. HELLO RAT SON.
ASL! Brilliant :O Such a useful thing to know – such an unexpected yes I can communicate with you, I’m here. You saw the video of the mall Santa & the little girl speaking ASL? and/or the Disney princesses using ASL for a child’s first visit? ((Maybe I saw them on your tumblr, it’s so hard to keep sources straight)). Amazing. One day I’d like to study it.
We have some braille Starbucks cards at work – a customer and I were just talking about how fascinating it was, and how impressive that people could learn it. Nicely done!
Good luck with the writing! Go go go go go
Yes, absolutely!! I haven’t trained my rats at all but the one I just lost on Christmas, Zaebos, was the most resourceful little shit. This one, Kronos, is a little bit of a beepis but he’s one of the sweetest pets I’ve ever had. We had his cage by our bed for a long time and he’d sleep as close to us as he could get and he likes to hold our fingers or hair while he sleeps. I like pets that run toward you when they’re upset or scared rather than constantly trying to run away, and that’s how my ratties have been. Once, a child I live with let Zaebos loose while I was sleeping and I woke up with him cuddling me. He could have easily gotten out as I lived in the garage, but he just wanted snuggles.
I learned it for that reason! I learned Braille first because I was working with an elderly blind woman. She informed me that less than ten percent of the blind people in America know Braille because it’s been made so inaccessible, so I volunteered with The National Federation of the Blind for a while while I was in my sophomore and junior years of high school. There’s a lot of interesting tools and advancements going on that a lot of ppl aren’t aware of, and it’s cool getting to help people in any way possible. Braille is really really easy to learn if you’re able to see it, at least up to the second level. Then there’s just a lot to memorize and a lot of context to understand.
I did see!! I love videos like that!! My best friend is training to be an interpreter so i see a lot of stuff like that and keep tabs on it. It’s awesome being able to do that for someone, especially at work as a retail person.
Ack, sorry about Zaebos. Trying to imagine rats being cuddly but can’t quite picture it! Brain keeps substituting needy little kittens instead.
That’s pretty cool! I wouldn’t have even thought such organizations were available for ..internships((?)). Keep up the great work! :D

Monday after the holidays… ew. Plus I usually work more during this time of year, but I was sick all last week so… it was a rude awakening. (Especially after staying up late to read music men ;D ) I have lots of goals, but I fail at self study. Definitely want to write more (aka more than nothing), but I don’t think there’s enough hours in the day to adult as it is. Work a full day, make a healthy dinner, chores, pack a lunch, gym, hygeine, call family friends to maintain social bond… like there’s literally not enough time. How do people add kids into that mix idk. My other thing (besides healthy gyming adultness and writing) is learning korean. My friend is a native and promised to take me there some day and somewhere along the line I fell in love with the food and entertainment and culture. The alphabet is stupid easy (you can learn in a half hour… it’s renowned for its ease and sense-making), and I got different apps to learn vocab, but haven’t found a fun interactive way to learn grammar and sentence structure so all my time spent watching korean dramas is wasted :P. And my friend is virtually useless on the learning front because he’s a bit of a poo. Anyway!! Happy 2016!
Oh, wow, Korean? I’ve heard written Korean is easy, yeah, but I feel like I’d still screw it up somewhere along the way, ha. Have you heard of the AJATT program? It’s technically “All Japanese All The Time” but some of the advice he has for learning languages – esp grammar and sentence structure, can be applied to almost anything! There’s one project in particular ((though he replaced it with a sleeker method some time later)) that’s supposed to help with sentence structure and grammar. Maybe you can adapt it for Korean? It’s not exactly fun and interactive, though.. I mean, there’s also the online diary Lang-8 if you want to try writing journal entries in Korean and getting feedback from native speakers, or finding penpals, perhaps ((do they still do penpals in this day & age idk)) Aaaa, I hope you do get to go!
Adult-ing is definitely time consuming! Parents deserve mad props for pulling it off somehow. Maybe you can steal time for writing, either by packing a week’s worth of lunches in advance or setting smaller daily goals? Good luck either way o_o
((I cut corners by not having any family friends trololol))
I love your time management goal! I’m sending you best wishes on your endeavors. (Out of curiosity, what sparked your interest in Latin?)
NY resolutions just weren’t my jam this year either. But I have goals to Get Art Done. I’ve been smitten with the prints of Yoshida Hiroshi lately, and hope it will spur me on in one of my projects…
I miss your art!! D: <3 I hope the prints prove inspirational! I just looked them up and it’s pretty amazing.
The primary culprit for Latin is The Secret World, ngl. Then I read part of The Raven Cycle this fall or something and it came up again, and several of the people I’ve met on Tumblr recently seem to have at least studied it for a small amount of time? So it seems an interesting place to start this year.
You’ve got that right. I did end up finding some awesome lighting and I got some damn good pictures of my killer makeup.
Ah!! That would be great if I could find a study partner in the band of foxes. I’ve been studying for almost two years now on my own and it’s like I never get anywhere with it. I have Rosetta Stone, Duolingo, and Mango languages though I’ve never tried Lang-8?? What is it exactly
Lang-8, if I remember correctly – haven’t used it in a while – is basically an online journal. You post entries in your target language, and native speakers can stop by and critique your grammar and vocabulary. So it’s not very helpful re: the spoken language, but it does help a bit with the writing side of things.
There’s also Rocket Languages, which is surprisingly entertaining despite the fact the website looks like it’s a scam. Years & years ago I bought the Japanese program from it for review. It’s basically learning through shadowing conversations – you’ll listen to a conversation, they’ll break it down and explain grammar, culture, vocab, etc, and then they’ll do the conversation again in pieces with pauses for you to echo. Helps with cadence, pronunciation, and flow, and they’ve included grammar worksheets and games and such – and the forums are a great place to look for other people who are studying. Also the conversations can be downloaded so you don’t have to sit at a computer – I used to put ‘em on my phone so I could practice on the walk to work.
