In other news, I adapted a fancy scallion pancake recipe I to gluten free and it worked well!!
Yes, my fingers are blue. Occupational hazard.
*SIGH* I resigned to paying for tax software again this year because I, a tech savvy person, could not figure out the government website to do it for free.
...and the TaxAct website decides to be buggy and crash.
Do you *want* me to pay you, Government? I am trying.
I tried it on low speed and it didn't move much material, which is good. I'll crank it up when I get back home this afternoon!
Rational brain: You have to leave in ten minutes. You can sit quietly until then.
Me: *over the whirring of a Dremel as I see if I can sand the inside of a bowl I made from a dried pomelo husk* ...huh?

Checklist of comic chapters
This weekend, I remembered to post the Janus comic update to Substack, only to realize I might have skipped one of the inserts, which seems kind of impossible...
If you're wondering how that could possibly get crossed up, it's because Janus is modular and odd! Read it here: www.bluecatco.com/janus/
Not to mention, it wouldn't get read, as that's not what my audience is here for!
Every once in a while I feel like I should write an essay on a piece of popular media, but what I Actually want is for someone else to write it, so I can feel jealous about them writing what I want to write π
And let me be clear here, I Did listen to other music the last few weeks, scattered between repeated listens. I'm not Completely unstable...
Wow! I was allergic to wheat AND buckwheat for a period in my life, and though I no longer test as allergic, I have to imagine it's just from a 15-year lack of exposure...
My favorite recipes come from Katarina Cermelj. Where do you usually get yours??
Ohhh YouTube Music do Not embarrass me by giving me a badge as a top listener to the artist of the song I've had on repeat for a monnnnthhh
...I have to leave the platform now. I can no longer show my face there.

In today's news, suddenly, inexplicably, YouTube has tied itself to my spacebar WHILE IN OTHER TABS. So my background video pauses every other microsecond as I type.
Isn't this fun??
Whaaaat that's crazy. Enjoy! I'm still not over essentially being gaslight by the opening of KH2 π
UM hold the phone. There are emoji hanafuda cards?? π΄
I'm pleasantly distraught. Why did I not know this before!
Is this your first time playing?
I just love how much easier it is to get balloons just right when done by hand, especially when they're overlapping with the art. I'd do way more of that, if it didn't involve masking everything out in Illustrator...

Me this weekend: You know, I wish I was good at something. Like, really good.
Brain: You're a professional artist.
Me: No, I know. But I mean something can be like... Demonstrably good at.
Brain: You're a pro-- you know what? Maybe we need some explanatory diagrams.
Explaining to my family the difference between bad CG and generative AI.
Just because it's not good, doesn't mean it was made by a bot π
