i've definitely been doing more thinking than doing since moving to glasgow 2 months ago, which is the opposite of what i planned. ironically, getting back into doing things on here is encouraging me to do more things irl, because i'm creating something instead of just stewing in my own brain juices.

employment is an issue. i have a lot of ideas but there's always something stopping me from implementing them (often it's just Me). there are also about 800 half-ideas for Things To Do, both as a job and hobbies. i also need to get out more.

earlier today i bought tickets to see alaskalaska with my bf in october, which is exactly the kind of thing i wanted to be able to do while living in a big city, so i'm excited already. hopefully getting to do that will help me recover from being so in my own head that i didn't even realise siouxsie was performing locally until after i'd missed it...

i'm already beginning to take having incredible museums within walking distance for granted. back in orkney, everything to see/do was tied to the location. there are lots of local themed things here too, but in a large city like glasgow there's also room for there to be other stuff.

today, we went on a walk around the woods near the house and talked about how online queer spaces seem to be mostly divided into places where so much emphasis is put on 'everyone being valid' that introspection seems to be actively looked down on, and places where people are so 'self aware' that they become deludedly self-loathing. i saw some cool mushrooms

we finished majora's mask the other day and have moved onto windwaker, and wow, you don't realise how janky the controls of older games are until you're playing something slightly more modern.

i've been listening to this album while doing website stuff, it's good to problem solve to. i think putting together a music page (listing some songs from spotify wrapped and then monthly curations) might be the next page i make?
