An egg-shaped, tightly-compressed yarn bundle next to a very even-looking, larger and relaxed ball of yarn (same amount of yarn btw)

I stayed up late winding yet another ball of yarn so my husband can finish his knitting project.

IDK how I'm winding wrong but mine are tight, egg-shaped. He couldn't stop laughing. The whole thing felt like a medieval peasant date night and I would change nothing.

Comparison with his yarn ball:

Let's goooo!!

All I'm saying is: the latest AI boom started in '22, promising mind-bending tech advances, utopia within reach…

Instead of teleportation, now I have to type "-ai" on Internet searches, disable AI extensions, checking if my voice was stolen, ads promising the same as in '22, and my bills went up.

J biting his lip like a dork in front of a plate of pretentious-looking Pintxos (Basque bite-sized snacks often similar to tapas)

Pintxos 🤤

Daaang, yes!

And the worst thing you can do is try to keep up with a pace you now know is unsustainable. Keep taking care of yourself, you got this!

Unfortunately it stands to reason that overworking oneself for years will take a long time, so, perhaps it's of some comfort to know you're not the only one, haha

Yyyep. Full-time job+voice acting on the side.
While I learned to ignore hustle culture…it's hard to stop myself from going overboard because I love voice acting. Yet, it's a job regardless. It comes with stress, like any competitive occupation.
Still, you're right:only you can look after yourself.

I believe you. I'm still well into the FO part of FAFO, it's been 9 months and I'm not out of the woods yet.

Heh.
I had the audacity to be like, "What do you mean it'll take me more than a week to recover?! I've only: essentially held two jobs since 2012, maintain a strict workout schedule, obviously not neglect my partner. I just piled oodles of stuff on top of that..? Oh."

What I've learned so far in 2026:
Burnout recovery takes 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙨.

Take on what was the usual workload? F you, have a migraine.

Work out like you used to? Yawn throughout the entire thing and be exhausted the next day.

Simple tasks and even playing videogames now require 𝖘𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖚𝖘 𝖈𝖔𝖓𝖈𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓.

I grew up in Puerto Vallarta. I still have so many family members back there. Took too many hours to hear back from everyone, but all of them are accounted for. I feel like I can finally breathe again.

Congrats, Swann!!

My apnea's been getting worse and I thought sleep deprivation was only getting to me, but I know now my snoring is loud enough to affect my husband.

He—a trained singer—is performing a rendition of "Part of your world," as if sung by Genshin's Cacucu.

Thank you, Nik! Fear not, I'll keep buying unusual outfits 😂

That was Dani's idea as I was tinkering with the lighting 😂

V1 is great for watches, bracelets, rings, necklaces, so it's definitely got use!

Bonus: these somehow didn't make the cut.

(After all, I took all the pics myself and didn't airbrush them, just did some color balancing, like where I'm testing my lighting before getting my outfits on)

It's taken me over 20 years to come to terms with my ptosis/eyesight loss. As a former model, that asymmetry hurts but it is part of me.
So! New headshots if anyone needs one (?)
And yes, behold my weird wardrobe.
Odd pic quality because I Glazed™ TF out of these pics.

Embrace the composting (turning 42 soon)!
Happy birthday!

June!!
Congratulations, this is such a nice June lore drop (and same date, I got engaged on a Feb 13th!)

As someone who hasn't lost "enough vision to warrant surgery", I'm pretty sure my husband and I could join for a double date.

We need to make people understand the Lovecraftian pitfalls of "flirting" via DMs.

To be fair, they're playing with languages, because:
Eu quero mais (PR)
Yo quiero más (SP)

Buuut

They don't use você for "you" nor meu for "me," rather they use tú and mí, which are in Spanish.

😭 My useless degree (Spanish communication science) was actually used

It is Portuguese. Spanish being my first language, this is my shot at translating:
"I want more,
with you, I want, I want (to be with you),
Get a little bit closer,
Eh, eh
I don't care about the other (girls),
With you, I want, I want (to be with you),
You rev me up (brrr) like a Kawasaki"

I skip any project that hints at follower count being a metric, but also…

I've been in projects—yes, plural—where I'm asked to normalize, split/splice, label audio files per line *and take*.

I've essentially gotten a [SurprisedPikachu.gif] response to an audio engineering rate/quote being added..?

Oh, same, zero competition for washing *and* drying doesn't happen every day!

I love Superbowl evenings, I get so much done with all the stores being empty 🤩
Since I don't go to stores on holidays, hoping to make employees' lives easier, this is truly once-a-year efficiency levels on my task list.

Lemon-ups (girl scout cookies), the one on the forefront says "I'm creative". A coffee mug with June Yoon's face on it.

I was motivated to update my diet when the delivery came in.

I had forgotten Brook Chalmers had tempted us to get Girl Scouts' cookies...so... Maybe a little delay.

Holy moly congrats!! And directing as well?! Niiice.
