gotta be up early... sofa/recliner delivery at somewhere between 8:30 and 12:30... pharmacy that hopefully sells cbd closes at 1 (as naturopath is out of office until past xmas)... then haircut at 2... all of these alone would be exhausting for any #spoonie but all together?? on one day????? #prayforharp2k18 y'all
at least i know where the fuck the furniture i ordered is now. also trust no bitch at estes express. well ok the employees are probably all right but this is all because estes said they could do the delivery for home depot, then said "actually we can't make it to your house at all lol", after sending out the delivery guy to go rack up more tickets apparently and leaving him out to dry, at which point estes sat on its thumbs and refused to do anything at all with my shit

anyway if anyone needs an essay topic
lofi music : high-fidelity music quality in other genres :: pixel art : high-quality 3d rendering standard in many other games
intentional invocation of nostalgia, easier for 'little guy' artists to lean into in terms of work they can do with free/amateur tools, and has grown into a specific genre in its own right with almost exclusively "indie" cred
@colon_three ohhh okay that makes sense
it's really lovely to know that you feel like you've 'nailed it' tho giving an accurate reflection of yourself, i can see exactly why those compliments are things you must cherish immensely! 💖
