tiny sounds.
there is something so mesmerizing by hearing some small, almost universally ignored sounds. when stillness is interrupted by the soft rustle of paper, or I can hear some innocuous bug doing it’s thing. I also love the sound of animals chewing, but hate how humans sound when they do it. I once sat in detention at school, the room was so quiet. a fly landed on my desk, and I could hear it clean itself. it was so surreal. How many others have heard that sound?
It’s some people’s jobs to create/recreate and record those sounds for TV, games, and other media. I believe they’re called foley artists.
yeah! and the job was named after it’s most prolific artist, Jack Foley! I tell ya, if I could be a fly on the wall of a Foley Artist… Man… that’d be cool
Painting miniatures and then playing long swooping campaign games with them. Here’s Deep Rock Galactic: the board game painted up, mid mission:
WE’RE RICH
We’re rich! We’re rich! We’re rich! We’re rich! We’re rich!
Cosplay and dinosaurs/prehistoric reptiles. I’m the girl that attends anime conventions in handmade, intricate costumes; then go to a fossil and gem and point out which mosasaur jaws, trilobites, and shark teeth are fake. Here’s a silly collage combining the two. Dr. Sattler and 'Dog’ter Grant. That’s my medical alert dog.

Why do those little pieces of skin keep sticking up next to my fingernails. (Not cuticles / hangnails, the skin next to the nails)
I tend to bite them and tear them off hoping they don’t act like a zipper and all of me will pour out
Boxes. I love boxes. Like old metal ones or decorative stash boxes. Crazy about boxes. Nice ones though. no cardboard.
This week? AdGuard Home to block ads network-wide. Optimizing it so I can compare it to my Pi-Hole to see which I prefer. We’ll see what obsession next week holds.
Where my ADHD homies at?
hello fellow ADHD homelab homie
rn I have some time off so I’m attempting to force all my random code project repos to use the same structure. Paying down the tech debt at last
Hell yeah homie, go get that technical debt.
EBay deals and thrifting. I can spend hours just looking at different things, seeing how much of a deal it is and not buying it
I need desktop / homescreen wallpaper that is minimalist enough to not be distracting and yet is more complex than a flat color or gradient. And a single one in place will bug me after a time, so I borrowed a bunch of powerpoint tech backdrops.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy this fact about you.
I would watch Over the Garden Wall over and over and over which reminds me…
Well now it’s Infinity Train
British television
Art I make (and what tempts me to make it)
The first one reminds me of this guy from Disenchantment. https://disenchantment.fandom.com/wiki/Me-Flavored_Water_Salesman
I have always loved that dude.
That mix up with Holly Jolly Christmas and lil Jon.
Renovating my home is a hobby of mine, but I can’t stand tiny imperfections like walls that aren’t perfectly smooth, surfaces that aren’t exactly level, and mail-order furniture which isn’t quite the same color as it was in the pictures. Usually I can get things just right eventually, but sometimes I have to recognize that doing that would be crazy (i.e. it would require spending tens of thousands of dollars to demolish and rebuild something which everyone else tells me already looks great) and then I get really upset, give up in the middle of the renovation project, and never finish it.
The funny thing is that this level of perfectionism is actually just right for the sort of programming I do at my day job, so work ends up being less stressful than my hobby.
Mushrooms.
They’re beautiful, adorable, and delicious.
