Needed a globally accessible place to jot down notes about books, films, music and the such.
Definitely enjoyed this.
Loved how the cutscenes were still 10-yo blurry, and yet amazing lighting.
The game has the common 2010's 3D lighting thing where eg people's teeth look really crazy.
But kept thinking about the game when not playing and figuring out how to do things.
Choices are not super wide, but there's a healthy variety available.
Some cutscenes are really good. Good Bladerunner vibes.
really enjoyable film about a police station under siege
throwback to 70s grime action gore. Need to find more done by Joe Carnahan, who is killed the next Quentin Tarantino (I probably fucked that quote up)
Series about a man waking up from a car crash in Australia and not remembering his past.
Painting when it wasn't really "done" for women to do so.
Painted people honest
From Hollie McNish' book "Slug"; Annie was apparently one of only a few painters to paint real depictions of working-class wome looking genuinely pissed off and bored with their work and childcare chores, at a time when the majority of the art wold preferred rosy-cheeked romanticisations of back-broken labourors. Annie also beautifully emphasised women's wrinkles in almost all of the paintings, which wasn't very fashionable in the late nineteeth and early twentieth centuries in which she worked, especially in portraits of women

Intriguing instrumental guitar play, perhaps a bit nervous at times.

Slayer vs B-52s - "Raining Lobsters"
In linguistics, a calque or loan translation is a word or phrase borrowed from another language by literal word-for-word or root-for-root translation. When used as a verb, "to calque" means to borrow a word or phrase from another language while translating its components. e.g. "skyscraper"
Thus it creates a new lexeme in that language.
A lexeme is a unit of lexical meaning that underlies a set of words that are related through inflection: run, runs, ran, running are forms of the same lexeme, which can be represented by RUN.
cognates, or lexical cognates, are words that have a common etymological origin. Cognates are often inherited from a shared parent language, but they may also involve borrowings from some other language. For example, the English words dish, disk and desk, the German word Tisch ("table"), and the Latin word discus ("disk") are cognates because they all come Ancient Greek δίσκος ("dískos", "disk") which relates to their flat surfaces. Cognates may have evolved similar, different or even opposite meanings.
Stress is manifold, complex; it is bad (stressing people out) yet sometimes good as it helps your body build up and release healthy nutricients and hormones.
Drug vs placebo effect is confusing. Placebo effect has been proving, but the effect of the actual drug is the combined effect of the chemical drug PLUS the placebo effect.
You only stress about things you care about; own the stress, understand why you care.
Thinking you eat healthy while you eat something "average" nutricious is counter productive; your body will think it is still hungry; and ghrelin, the hunger hormone, will not go down as fast. It's better to believe you're eating something delicious and unhealthy when you *are* eating unhealthy, because your mindset will help spur your body into thinking it had enough.
Wonderfully sad. Automatic followup after Cyndi Lauper's "If you go away"
Slightly terrifying book showing me how my past and current habits fuck up my brain.
Amazing stuff.
mono no aware, literally "the pathos of things" and also translated as "an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera", is a Japanese term for the awareness of impermanence, or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.
