OH BOY I DO LOVE THE SPRING WE'RE HAVING

20.04.24, saturday

for a nice couple of weeks it looked like we were finally done with winter, but ohmygod it’s never-ending why is it snowing again

#motherfuckerrrrrrr how why what did we do to deserve this jesus christ it's june in a month #never-ending!! #april 2024 #2024

feeling very Devil Wears Prada "florals? for spring? groundbreaking" seeing the "Taylor's album has emotional range!! No other artist could ever!!!"-posts as if that's not also what every other (good) artist is doing, as if conveying bunch of emotions isn't the whole main part of the job

(emotions? in music??? groundbreaking)

#!!! I'm not hating on Taylor !!! I'm hating on swifties (some of them at least; the delusional ones) #like are u sure no other artist could ever. are u _fully_ sure #anyways I listened to it and it was fine; felt like 31 versions of the same song but I can respect that as a stylistic choice #that's just not for me (like she obv knows what she's doing & is good at it)) #(like Cigarettes After Sex does that too and no one's giving them shit abt it (probs bc ppl are pretty much only lukewarm towards them #and also the whole ''let's be unreasonably critical abt whatever a woman is doing''-thing)) #maybe the range is in the lyrics but I'm more of a ''I want to hear the emotion'' rather than ''I'll look up the lyrics to see what the #emotion of this song is''-type (can't hear lyrics in songs for the life of me without seeing them written out idk why #and that's very much a me-issue; not a ''bad music''-issue) #ttpd #april 2024 #2024

Top 5 technologies that, unfortunately, have fallen out of use

okay this was interesting, had to rly think. Also idk if my definition of "technology" is right, but anything resembling will go. ALSO damn I rambled a lot, sorry abt that, apparently I like thinking about old tech

CDs. I miss owning albums, it was so nice to like actually have the physical copy of something u love. I think that's what missing now and is why I sometimes get actually annoyed abt loving a band/song (rn it's The Vantages (a band) & I'm actually mad about it) bc the "listening to it is not enough, I need to inject it to my bloodstream"-mood, which in actuality is that I'd love a physical copy to make it feel like a concrete thing. It's like the next best thing to going to a concert, and I can't keep buying merch I'll never wear outside my house to compensate. Also made u like decide on what album u want to listen to & the songs are always gonna be in the same order the artist decided them to be in, no mixing songs from the same or diff artists, you had to make A Choice. (actually my dad has my fave bands CDs (old-ish band & he an og fan) and it's kinda comforting to me that if (/when?) some Spotify apocalypse eventually happens, I'll have a way to listen to them anyways). Also been thinking for years about buying either a CD- or a vinyl player, or something like that bc I want to have physical copies of my faves (but haven't decided on what yet (probs vinyl tho. for the vibes.) and also the money aspect of it is not great)

Nokias. I just talked with my sister how we've both been thinking abt just buying an old Nokia keypad non-smart phone and just using that instead of like the current phones (but alas, not rly possible, like I can't get into my gym without a smart phone and that's just one thing, u kinda need a smartphone or life becomes unnecessarily complicated). But the durability, the worm game, the ''oh no in a hurry and need the letter s, oh shit I went overboard and went right back to p''). Also Finland represent lol

tamagotchi type things. like a "gaming console" (it's not but idk what those are called) that has the one game with abt 3 pixels and no color. Also I had one like that had a monkey that collected dropping bananas and that was the whole game, the only function that thing had (I have a suspicion I got it from McDonalds??? idk why I keep thinking that) (Googled and yes it was from McDonalds, called Aiai banana catch)

those big computers that were for the whole household. We didn't have one growing up (bc my parents had computers at their work and so we didn't need one) but the thrill of going to like a friend who lived near and they used their 1h of computer time to like play some horse game; unparalleled. Or like the games at Miniclip ?? or later on CLUB PENGUIN !!!!! (still to this day the best game that has or ever will exist) (tho I think at around club penguin-era my sister got a laptop so I used that until I got my own)

Those calculators that prints on paper what u've calculated right after, idk what they're called. Never used one & obv never had one bc was a kid, and actually not fully sure if ppl still do use them (but guessing at least that they're not as popular anymore) but damn. The pure aesthetics and vibes. Like the movie scenes of a character calculating using that while looking at bills to indicate that the said character has some finance problems? phenomenal, cinematography etc.

truly my best brain time is in the middle of the night caffeine & sugar rush. I think I just understood math, like some part of the general pattern of math if that makes sense. something clicked somewhere in my brain and I felt it

#idk this might sound like a sleep deprived caffeine up god complexed person's rambles bc that's 100% what it is #(it's vector & matrices I'm at currently bc got some algorithms to figure out and explain how those would apply to deal with EEG-data #in practice and I think I got like the basic thing that idk how to put into words; like the connections etc.) #I think it helped to have that EEG-data there to think things through with bc some context is always nice #I suck at just purely theoretical math #anyways feeling great & maybe I'm not the dumbest person on this earth after all #april 2024 #2024

top 5 shows/anime :p

Thanks for asking !! :D haven't actually ever watched an anime (unless u count like some episodes of Pokemon when I was a kid), so it'll just be like other tv-shows

Criminal Minds (Spencer Reid is The comfort character)

Grey's Anatomy (and like they just keep going. At this point I'd let Ellen Pompeo operate on me actually in real life)

The Bear (I just finished it yesterday tho, so might be a very big recency bias here, but there were layers and I love a good food related show and it made me question my life choices which is always a good indicator of great tv-show (bc like I want something to be that passionate about damnit))

Top Chef (I love a good food related show)

Hannibal (I keep saying it's one of my favorites but actually I haven't watched it since I was like 15 bc it's been nowhere ever since and I'm too paranoid to pirate stuff, but from what I remember it's so good) (I love a good food related show)

Honorable mentions to X-files (bc currently watching that and it seems right up my alley (like criminal minds with a twist)) and Teen Wolf bc damnit it was there during some important brain growth-years and I will now always love it even tho it's like pretty basic teen show thing (void stiles plot is a winner tho). Resisting the urge to also say bbc Sherlock, but I think I have to; I was highly obsessed at one point and still watch it sometimes ("A scandal in Belgravia"-episode has to be like one of my fave episodes of any tv-show ever, feels like a whole ass movie that one and I love it) (actually now thinking I should have Sherlock in the top 5 but idk I'm sticking with this; Tumblr/my wifi is being too annoyingly slow rn to fix anything)

#move to finland! and you'll get a taste of that game of thrones winter every year !! fun #no but yes every year there's about 6 instances of ''uh oh winter's back'' and every time I'm just as annoyed and surprised somehow #you'd think I would've learned by now #but alas everytime we get the sun I get my hopes up that it's finally not winter #also I feel like I edited these weird bc tried to match the walls with the snow and the color temperatures just won't match unless I make #the whole thing like look even more weird (bc warm white walls & cold white snow) and now these look a bit off to me but idk how to edit #studyblr #study #studyspo #aesthetic #dark academia #booklr #bookblr #april 2024 #2024

top 5 foods? :D

oh this was honestly hard to decide :D I'm keeping it at savory foods bc otherwise I'd never be able to decide, need narrower category

good bread with butter. Big bonus if it's the whipped and/or flavored butter thing that restaurants sometimes have going on

pretty much anything with truffles, but to specify more: truffle pasta (bonus if it's stuffed pasta)

christmas bread (?idk what it's in English, like rye bread but sweet bc lots of molasses etc.) with smetana, trout roe, dill and red onion (it's a christmas food). Also, I'm cheating and adding "blinis with those same toppings" to this same spot as well

(my mom's) risotto

this one like appetizer from a restaurant I can't stop thinking abt: was like aerated potato puree (idk what they put in it. pure crack?), whitefish roe, crunchy onion, some herb oil/dressing thing. Idk why to was that good, all of us were like pretty ''eh so that's gonna be underwhelming'' but ended up everyone's favorite. It's number 5 bc very specific lol and yeah probs won't be eating it again so idk if that counts (like it's not "food", it's a "specific dish"; but the 2nd option for this was chana saag from a specific place, so also a specific dish not a general food so ye)

#I'm vegetarian until there's fish roe idk that's the one I make exceptions for #bc like that's like couple times a year thing #april 2024 #2024 #asks

Top 5 clothing items :)

thanks for asking!! :D

doc martens that are falling apart on me & need to get them fixed (also idk if shoes fit to the category of clothing item, but anyways it stays)

green "leather" jacket (I actually have it in my profile pic bc like I love it a lot)

one oversized flannel that I wear way more than is normal

dark green & blue striped sweater, that I perhaps bought bc reminded me of ahs Tate. I'm an adult I can make purchases based on comfort tv-shows yes

this one dress I love sm but rarely get to wear bc I feel weird wearing dresses casually. But any opportunity I have I'm wearing it and feeling great. Just a basic black one, but the fabric is nice and heavy (kinda like knitted, but not like chunky sweater knitted, idk what that's called) so it makes it feel a bit more fancy even tho it's like from h&m or something

Top 5 favorite animals!

Thank you for the ask!! :D

penguins (has been the #1 since I was a kid)

cats (and also I'm gonna include all like big and wild cats here as well bc I can, or the rest of the list would just a list of those)

snow leopards. Yes I said it went to the cat category but they deserve a spot for themselves bc ohmygod look. They carry their tails for comfort or something idk why. but it's the cutest and reminds me of my cats; just as goofy. They rly are just big cats

4. raccoons

5. crows. bc they're the cats of the bird world idk what else to say

top 5 songs that you listen to while studying? 🎶

heyy thank you for the ask!!

I'm a big fan on listening to soundtracks lol while studying as u can see. But like got a list of classical music but I think these are the ones I always get the most delighted abt appearing from the shuffle. Can't say abt the actual order tho, like they're all faves, can't say and won't. So these are in random order. (also sorry if u're on desktop ik these spotify embeds suck). Also it's 6 bc I can't choose and u can't make me

Uh excuse you November is an awesome month! It's still fall but with the promise of Christmas in the near future. It's a wonderful mix of both.

NO !!! NO

NO

N O

literally nothing good happens during Novembers. It's gloomy, the cold weathers are rly starting to get going and you're not used to them yet so it sucks more. Dark at 3pm and usually not that much snow so it's only depressing; no redeeming qualities. It's like February, but at least in February there's more snow, or like the rare sunny winter day. Christmas joy is so far away that it's no match for the overwhelming amount of November gloominess

#literally went speechless for a second I didn't think ppl who like November existed #pretty sure it depends on a bit on the climate as well tho #like it's not autumn here anymore at that point #honestly no hate tho obv lol #I just hear a lot of (imo valid) November slander from ppl here so thought that was a universal opinion #april 2024 #2024 #asks
