Accomplished {2025 Week #26}

June is coming to a close. Monday was a very slow day for me. I had an appointment with the dentist at 10, she took out the weird filling and did some kind of cool preparations for the one she would put in next. She didn't do it on that day so I just spent the rest of the week with a huge gap in between my teeth. My teeth at the back always give me so much trouble. I think my toothbrush really sucks because when I used a smaller brush I did not have this many issues. But also I haven't been to the dentist properly for like 4 years until this year. No matter how good your routine is, you really need to visit the dentist annually especially if you have chronic gum pains and stuff. And blood... so much blood...

Tuesday I went to class as normal, but I was sweating from just walking. Awkward interaction at the supermarket, which means I will literally never show my face there. If you think that that's an over-reaction... yeah, so? Got a few texts from new and old friends, really put me in a good mood. Been back into playing Titanfall 2 daily. I have some really great games but I usually suck so bad. What happened, man...

My main.

Wednesday I finished the Faculty fanlisting, I posted about it a bit on my projects/art blog. I put in way too much effort into it but it was fun and I'm happy with the end result. Had some politics on in the background, was very happy to hear that Mamdani is looking to be the winner of the primaries. Again, I don't live in New York and I never will but it looks like a really good thing can happen for them there, that'd be the dream.

We had a cooler evening. I was feeling pretty good, organizing my space and rocking out to a great mix Alice made for me.



Summer dusks are awesome.

On Thursday I had class as usual, then I went to Tom's right after the train. I don't know what the hell Mo was up to but he couldn't make it so me and Tom played Skylanders. It was pretty fun and he has so many figurines! To chose a character in this game, you have to place a figurine onto this special platform and they appear in the game. My favourite was Zap, he's so cute and he has a little aqualung on his back and webbed feet.

On Friday I finally got my social security number, wee!! Class was kind of a struggle because we did a knowledge review of what we learnt and I am so bad at remembering anything, hence this blog. At home I binged the latest season of Squid Game. Goddamn, it's ass. Seriously talk about a drop in quality.

On Saturday I finished Saving Face and did more Artfight prep. I finally uploaded some new characters I've been meaning to get up there. Sunday I finished the 2000s music fanlisting, it has some super basic but kind of cool JS and CSS features. I'm strictly banning myself from doing anymore fanlistings for now... I have so many other important tasks, never mind that I need to start working soon.

Also on Sunday I finally found this book I had as a kid about drawing princesses and ballerinas. It's literally the best, I was crazy about this book as a kid and I still miss it. Thank whatever for the preservation efforts of the internet.

Very vital part of my upbringing.

This week's song is something that came up random on the radio and I've never heard it before but it takes me to a state of mind that is so weird. If you watched 2000s to early 2010s kids CG animation they often had a kind of desolate vibe. Like if you looked far enough into the background, the world would just be empty forever beyond. I kind of like that though, as scary as it is. This hard to illustrate feeling appears for me when I watch the first few seasons of Clone Wars, the Bionicle movies, or the Dragons movies (Fire & Ice and The Metal Ages). That last on is totally forgotten and not really good but it's one of those things I had on DVD and looked so magical and mystical to me as kid.

Christophsis especially.

The world just ends...

Just vast emptiness.

Anyway, now that I'm done with the tangent, I think the song of the week would go really fucking hard with these settings. It's edgy but also pretty somber, please enjoy Cold's Wasted Years.
