    GNJB is a Japanese group I have been enjoying lately because their music is delightfully chaotic. Just what I need in immersion mode to drown out robots at work. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=bafSniJZQtk

    Today in online ads, I need a variety of items for perimenopause, menopause, and... pregnancy? 🤦‍♀️ At 54 I am obviously in Schrodinger&amp;#39;s fertility zone.

    RE: https://cosocial.ca/@renata/117468787721316886 As someone who tests autonomous robots in a controlled setting for a living, I can verify autonomy is hard. For autonomous vehicles in a city centre? I can see why they would want to try to control as many variables as possible. So this conspiracy theory makes sense to me.

    The writers don&amp;#39;t try to be scientific or explain things. I am pretty sure the aftermath of major surgeries is completely ignored. It&amp;#39;s more fantasy or supernatural than reality if you really want to define it. But this is a silly show. And so far I like it. #kdrama #TakeChargeOfMyHeart

    So I have been doing some financial stuff for us using Libre Office, dusting off some very old knowledge as I assemble it. Partner has decided that I need an app, and he is going to make it for practice as he is a developer. He is making it to practice using AI prompts. He did not ask why I am doing it this way (to learn), if I wanted another solution (I don&amp;#39;t), or if I wanted a solution made with AI (I really don&amp;#39;t). To me this feels like a lot of software development right...

    I am struggling with playback on Viki.com suddenly. This is using the browser on our media machine. It may have to do with browser settings I changed when I was trying to troubleshoot another issue, but I have gone through and I don&amp;#39;t see anything that looks like it is a problem. That being said I have a vague recollection about having issues getting Viki to play, but I am struggling to find the right search to find a solution. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

    So Woo Jae has disappeared after time travel event 2, but everything seems to be going the same... Except our stalker is taller? Is our stalker now Woo Jae?? #kdrama #DiveIntoYou

    1 week to go til surgery and I seem to have hurt part of my hand compensating around the initial problem. 🤦‍♀️ Way to go, me.

    Sometimes you have to get creative with ways to not be in pain. Today I stole Partner&amp;#39;s dragon stuffie because it is a good shape and size to keep my hand from hurting while resting.

    Trying to plan ahead and rearrange a few areas of the house for when I only have one hand usable after surgery. My left hand is going to be the problem. For some reason, I have always sat on the sofa so that I have a table on my left. Partner sits so he has a table on the right. This is in spite oh him being a lefty and me not, and we are both realising this makes very little sense. Especially now. But what were we thinking a couple decades ago when we started this? Also, he designed most of t...

    In #MyLiberationNotes episode 1, is the bearded chap playing guitar and singing with Lee Min Ki actually Car The Garden? He looks like him, none of the sites I can find have that actor listed as far as I can tell, and I struggle with the stylised Hangul in the credits so checking there is a bit tough. #kdtama

    Currently 26C feels like 32. Tomorrow&amp;#39;s high? 15. That explains the headache.

    Wow, there has been a dramatic increase in the ads trying to tell me I am an 80-year old woman near death who has to purchase all the things to look like a 20-year old. Must be Christmas advertising season.

    I like how they have the gender bending down so perfectly that Ha Ru has been running around town mindlessly holding Ha Na&amp;#39;s purse on his shoulder with absolutely zero thought whatsoever.... exactly what a woman would do who is used to going out with a purse. And Ha Na doesn&amp;#39;t clock it. Just like a guy would do. They didn&amp;#39;t have to add that touch. But they did. #kdrama #DiveIntoYou

    Listening to colleagues whose work and critical thinking I have deeply respected for many years using AI as their default solution to everything is depressing.

    When I checked the weather this morning, it said high of 18. So I wore a tshirt and threw on a windbreaker. It is currently 12C feels like 9, and dropping. It is rare for me to say I am cold, but I just stepped outside for a few minutes and damn it, I am cold.

    At that point in recovery from the stress of the last couple years where Partner and I are in need of new clothes because of weight loss and overall better fitness recently. The funny rhing in our house at times like this is the clothes swapping that goes on. I dress masculine because I prefer it. The last time I wore a skirt was literally last century (January 1999 to be exact). So I have a lot if men&amp;#39;s or gender neitral clothing. Atm, some of it has gone from fitting me to fitting P...

    The crossing of the killers, reporter, police, and famiy is interesting. What do you do when someone you know is doing something they shouldn&amp;#39;t? What do you do when someone you know is a danger to what you are doing? How can you keep disparate worlds close but not colliding? Lots of plot potential here. #kdrama #ABonafideKiller

    In a rare event, Molly has decided to join me on the couch. Does it have to do with Hector&amp;#39;s food bowl being here and she hopes I can refill it for her? Probably. #CatsOfMastodon

    Almost 1 year after a big layoff, in that in between time for fiscal stuff, and suddenly I can&amp;#39;t access parts of the work network. Likely a coincidence. &amp;gt;refreshes calendar madly in case of surprise 1 on 1 meetings &amp;lt;

    Tonight&#39;s movie night is #CrouchingTigerHiddenDragon as we determine if a couple years of #cdrama and kdrama watching affects what we think of this flick. Granted we haven&#39;t watched this in ages...

    We left the windows open last night. It is currently 16C in here. I am freezing. I love it. Actual outdoor temp: 9C feels like 7. ♥️

    I bought a wrist blood pressure monitor. Because injured hand and ease of use if I need to use it 2x a day. I didn&#39;t realise it was a yelling blood pressure monitor though. I didn&#39;t realise there were yelling blood pressure monitors at all. Apparently this is a thing for seniors? Maybe I really am an 80-year old woman now. 👵 (Also, omg, a volume button is needed on this! Please! Getting yelled at is not good for blood pressure, and I am sure not all seniors want to get yelled at.)

    We have been preparing for the hand surgery by getting some food into the freezer. Yesterday I got a deal on 11lbs of chicken breasts from a local poultry place. Today will be baking, slicing, and freezing for handy usage. So there&#39;s protein sorted. Usually at this time of year I am also processing pumpkin, but I just can&#39;t manage it with this hand. I am legitimately sad. Chopping up several pumpkins with a cleaver is great for dealing with stress and I could use that right now.
