”Do You Want To Replay Your Year?“

SAINSBURYS IM COMING FOR U x

in tragic news, my local grocery store has replaced the book section with an extra greeting card section for valentines day

Hopefully this is something it's possible to train oneself out of, but it's unfortunate that a day off work doesn't feel like a "real" day off to me if I spend it doing something, where something = like, going out to a place, spending more than an hour or two somewhere other than at home. It's like deep in my bones I feel like a day off should consist of chilling at home doing not much of anything, and the more a day deviates from that the more something in me feels like it's been cheated out of something. But I only get two days off per week and if they're all like that then all of a sudden life is entirely empty. Some people have the opposite instinct, they don't feel like they've had a true day off unless they've gone out and done something, experienced something. That seems better.

”What if nobody likes my story?” Well do you like it? Your story will always have at least one fan. Write for yourself and the right audience will come along.

When you’re going though something heartwrenching and you’re constantly between

Drowning in all-consuming emotion

and

Damn this is going to make such good art

How the internship is going

The new place im staying at doesn't have a toaster

I forgot what toast was and have been eating fridge bread

recently re-discovered that i can toast bread on a pan

probably the best advice I've ever got was from my grandpa when I moved from my town and started a university, he told me to leave the house everytime when I start to feel down, just to go to the park, a supermarket, a bookstore, to even drive in a bus or tram, just be around other people because staying at home all the time kills you; and you know he was right

i am LOVING the Magnus archives rn

Only recently started listening to it (im mid S2)

at first idk if I’d stick with it bc not that big of a horror fan :/

but I’ve really warmed up to the overarching narrative formed by individual stories style and the mystery solving

My fav part is the reveal of apathetic cold-hearted Jon being an absolutely crazy conspiracy theorist

I pretended I didn’t believe the statements bc someone is watching

What an unhinged individual

then him becoming a paranoid stalker trying to solve Gertrude’s murder all the while not realising he was the prime suspect BROOOO

creating a toxic work environment & turning into that boss that everyone would hate irl

Then turning his gaslighting onto Tim as well with the “you can’t quit and I can’t fire you there’s something wrong with the archive” (which is valid but the way the convo started with Tim informing him he’s not doing his job as head archivist to Jon kinda convincing Tim of his conspiracies is hilarious)

the one purpose of a book is to make information easily available, a task which this university-appointed engineering data book fails miserably at accomplishing
