pondering on how to peruse this corner...
may 03 '24:
weather been nice, even tho wind chilly. wish i'd've had yesterday off (some plans changed in the sched, at least nothing else in mine changed) but its fine.
been in a rly subtractive mood online lately

i guess this lil place isnt the only one i have thats going thru some proverbial usage-identity crisis, i cleared most of my tumblr after archiving it all and now i don't know if i wanna use it the same way i have been! but still lowkey want to have it around the most, of the socialmedialike things i have around (of not too many really... i think in addition merely fb, insta, twitter. and a couple thatre dormant). been following more of people that do personal microblogging type stuff there, as opposed to those strictly reblogging a bunch of stuff. it's nice energy, that.
also what the hell welcome to special fish @coyburn haha (what-the-hell in a pleasant surprise way)
also, re @altmilan writing about rechargeable batteries - making me think about how i have both a battery tester (takes energy for displaying the voltage from the tested battery which is nice) and reliable access to a discard battery bin (working at a shop that has one). 2nd-hand batteries a fun thing to dabble in cos a decent few have enough charge left in them (though i have a shy few rechargeable AA and AAA ones, 4 and 4) (got the battery tester idea after i had a couple customers come in one day a longer while back w/ a request of if they can rummage thru the battery bin a bit w a tester to salvage a few. i, being the way i am, and that day, having been unlikely to have much customer-activity, said yeah why not, while mentally taking note lol)
i have this old old mp3 player that runs off a single AAA battery and its such a charming little thing. apacer au231. 1 gigabyte (w/ sd card slot i dont use). simple. lightweight. had it dormant for years but started using it more from 2022 onward. i've been thinking of crafting a little bespoke carrycase for it w/ pockets for 2-3 spare batteries

little relic from when i would largely keep a lil (b)log in here (as opposed to tossing words at other places these days):
feb 23 '22:
currently half to 3am, listening thru a mix (2nd in an instalment of like 3 (well, or more if i look into the others by the artist aahahaha) but ill have to leave the rest for later fr)
--- feb 27 '24 addition: this was such a time -- i was on workbreak, was supposed to see drain gang in warsaw that week but they postponed it (and then they postponed it again!) and i got the full kindling of the oli xl special interest instead ...
delights
- 03/03/24: sunny day, and aurora
- 04/03: fully noticing its no longer entirely dark when walking home after a full workshift
- 05/03: small chunk of moss on ground looked slug-shaped on a split second glance
- 06/03: frozen ground looking sparkly in the sun
- 07/03: early day off for a long weekend
- 08/03: i guess the overcast sky is very nice for a change. less stark less overwhelming sensorily
- 11/03: duck chatter
- 25/03: other birds' chatter
- 07/05: head feels relatively empty in some blissful way. not much actively weighing it down in unpleasant ways these days
