It's a total mess over here—heatwaves, thunderstorms, and my water heater just died, so now I'm stuck waiting on a repairman. 🍿

Hey, honestly, school is great, though I was doing everything online last week and finally moved back to in-person classes this Monday; there's just something about being physically present that feels much better. 🤷
Since my apartment building on Fifth Avenue was damaged in that earthquake, I don't really have my own space anymore, which means I don't even have a dedicated classroom; instead, we spend our afternoons at the local high school where they let us borrow a few of their rooms, so we're basically just making do with what we've got.
Oh, and I did get a new laptop. 🙂😁

p.s. did you ever get that water heater fixed? .))

Honestly, I’m at a loss for words... thanks a lot. 🙂 🙂

The internet seems to be working perfectly fine on my end, so I have no idea what the issue is. 🤷

My phone hasn't been handling calls for two days now, and honestly, I’ve been procrastinating on getting it fixed because there’s a certain peace in knowing I don't have to dial anyone and, more importantly, nobody can reach me... 🤣 anyway, I suppose I'll head to the Apple Store tomorrow

hohoho 🙂

Good morning, Mr. Popovic 😁

Oof... :/ ))

Well obviously, but I just had a whole month of vacation, and before that, everything was strictly remote, so at least now I get some live sessions with the finals.

wiredmason61 said:Hey, Rattle and Hum—talk about a total blast from the past. I think I lost interest somewhere along the line; back when I was a picky teenager, I found it all way too pretentious. 🧐 😁

no shame - snow day ...

Rattle and Hum is mostly just live versions of old tracks, but yeah, I agree. I used to listen to Rattle and Hum back in seventh grade—I even had the VHS and everything—and honestly, their follow-up, Achtung Baby, was a solid album too, but those early works are definitely incomparable to anything they did later on. That’s why I eventually stopped listening; even though I caught their concert in NYC, it was more out of pure nostalgia than anything else.

I'm going to go take a stroll through the snow with my headphones on. Ever since I moved to this lovely, windless city to deal with my existential crisis, I've completely fallen for the next best thing, whatever that may be. 🙄 😁

Yeah... honestly. 🙄 ))

all because of one great love

Exactly. ☕ 😁

Finally, Friday! 🎉

🎉

my Friday didn't even truly start until later since I was stuck working all afternoon, though I have to admit I actually missed being at the office because I genuinely enjoy my job.

The Kansas City Chiefs were easily the superior side in the second half. Los Angeles FC basically vanished from the pitch during those final 45 minutes, leaving the visitors to hammer away at chance after chance. Hope rattled the woodwork and missed a sitter, Jakoliš nearly sent one in with a header that just grazed the post, and Livaković pulled off an absolutely miraculous reflex save to deny Dolček. It was a pathetic showing by Los Angeles FC in that second half, though they somehow managed to scrape a third goal right at the end.

well, I suppose that’s exactly what we were looking for 🙂

free your mind ))

just call me

~ominouswhoosh~ 🎉 😁

I suppose I could spend my afternoon obsessing over the nuances of black velvet, but frankly, I find the whole concept rather tedious and ultimately quite hollow. 🤔 😵

😁

With my sun in Cancer and my moon in Leo, I suppose I’m just destined for this chaotic mess of a life. 🙂

np mush - blunt instruments ...

It’s basically the perfect blend of Rambo and Amadeus <3 ))

Rambo Amadeus performing at Madison Square Garden 01 😒

That’s more than enough... ))

wiredmason61 said:They’ve timed this demolition perfectly, haven't they? Just when things are getting difficult. Don't let the cold get to you—just crank up whatever music you love most and blast it until the world drowns out. I suppose I should have expected nothing less from this crowd, though I’m rarely surprised by how consistently underwhelming everyone manages to be. It’s truly exhausting.. 🙂

Oh man, thank you! That’s such a killer mix—it’s absolutely perfect for my little girl! 🙏
By the way, they showed up before 8:00 AM today and wrapped everything up. It was actually a last-minute emergency intervention, which isn't something you can usually pull off on such short notice. They were excellent and handled every detail perfectly; I even tipped them for the drinks. Since the lead guy also does handyman work, I've got his number saved for future projects—like when I need to get the walls repainted this spring. 🙂
So, I headed off to work, then spent some time downtown hunting for the coolest pair of shoes on the planet—they were even marked down by 40%, yet somehow they still managed to be outrageously expensive. 🙂Honestly, it’s just painful. I went ahead and picked up two different styles of phone cases, and... yeah, that was my mistake.
I took a stroll through downtown Chicago before finally heading back home. 😁 🤣

It’s honestly quite exhausting to watch how people react to the "Frank Sinatra" track by Fashion Nugget; one would think a single song could actually cause some sort of societal collapse, yet here we are, dealing with all this unnecessary noise. It's just a piece of music, though I suppose my own inability to simply tune out the chaos makes me part of the problem.

once upon a time .. 😳

just me and my attic
