11-07-2025 ========== NOW... LISTENING: music WATCHING: my life as a teenage robot READING: scion 2e - hero five days until birthday. five days. five days until the calculus i final too. damn... if i told this would happen at some point to my younger self, she wouldn't even believe it - like, sure, my birthday was often either in exams season or the winter break that proceeded them, but outright finals, at 9 am? yeah nah that cannot be it. i wanna say a lot of things, but honestly i feel like id rather go through them bit by bit. today i spent the whole day waiting for clips to edit a video with, then editing a video, then feeling like i wasted the whole day because i waited to edit a video through the entire morning instead of studying for exams or anything like that. ultimately, though, im surprised at the fact that i managed so much in like 3 hours and a half' worth of sitting around with kdenlive on my laptop - after all, that included my breaks too. but yeah, tl;dr: don't stand around waiting like that one gif of the pablo escobar from narcos. just don't. do something or else you'll feel like you've wasted the day even if you managed to do great at some point. --- continued watching my life as a teenage robot. mlaatr flopping is the reason why shit like the owl house exists and also sucks. as in, mlaatr flopping is the reason why every cartoon that isnt "lol random humor" tries to be lore-heavy narratives. no i have not watched an episode of the owl house. no i never will. i just know its showrunner never touched a script prior to dtva and is a great artist but the owl house still looks like a slightly more detailed, 2007 how to draw anime book version of the Generic 2010s Cartoon Artstyle. aggregator scores are a lie. i only trust my own judgement and still add funny comments to my entries on serializd anyway.
