2022-01-27 | Rushing into things

Hello my friend. Not much to report but I'll go over the last couple of days.

Me and Eoin went to get his MOT done. We waited for a while in the garage and I was hearing lots of voices but they were friendly and seemed to be internal autonomous entities rather than other real people. They suggested I use the opposite bathroom to usual for example. While we waited I had a mocha which was really tasty. I definitely prefer it to tea so I'm thinking of getting the equipment needed to make it.

I am very close to purchasing some more Apple stuff as I realised that I have legitimate earning saved from my time at Immersive Learning Solutions. It's quite expensive but I think that my experience with my iPhone has been enough for me to think that it'll be worth it in the long run, especially considering how much I use tech in my life. I feel silly for talking about this so much here.

I got really drunk the other day and said that Eoin should move on from Franca since she wasn't willing to leave her husband. In hindsight it was pretty cringe since they obviously have something real but I can kinda see where I was coming from too. I was just super drunk and looking out for him I guess.

I sent Matt away last Tuesday. I just don't feel like I can trust him any longer. I also don't feel as though our meetings are actually useful. He's an alright guy but I haven't really gained much if anything from hanging around with him and he's only here because he's getting paid so I don't feel too bad (except for the fact that I didn't contact him before he drove all the way over here). I also have a meeting with Winnie on Monday.

I haven't been doing any uni work. I guess I should hold off on buying anything until I'm actually studying or have dropped out completely. I just don't care about getting the degree. As useful as it might be I don't think it would help me with my own personal goals (which are admittedly very ambiguous right now). I just don't know how to get back in the swing of things. The dissertation isn't going well and without having done any studying hardly at all I feel as though the exams are going to be hellish. I enjoy reading people's thoughts on dropping out of uni and how that makes you a loser or whatever. I don't agree with them whatsoever but it seems like a lot of people do agree on that so I'm just hoping I don't end up regretting my decision.

You know what? Fuck it. They have a 14 day return policy; I'm buying myself a MacBook!

Lots of love!

Intro Hi all, Last post was extremely depressing. Guess I was just making a blog for the sake of keeping up with it. This past fortnight I got a MacBook, a Romanesco and a break from synchronicity. Read on to find out more. This {{$TIME_PERIOD}} In Tech I bought the MacBook! From my savings of course, as I said I would. It's awesome. I really like that it's Linux-y. It's like the best Linux with the best hardware, I'm sold! The iPhone first clued me in but now I've spent some time with a Mac I understand the hype. I've been making shell scripts (though PowerShell seems pretty good too, it's a little verbose maybe), programs and learning the nuances of the MacOS. Everything has gone great with it other than trying to share files wirelessly from my Windows machine on the same network. I'll try again sometime but I just emailed that shit. Actually one other thing which I find annoying is that in Apple apps the home and end keys go to the beginning or end o...

Recommended? Absolutely one hundred percent "Yes!" but only if you've played a walking simulator through to completion. It's listed on Wikipedia as an action game but I think that makes it seem more action-packed than it actually is. I would recommend going in as blind as possible for maximum effect. Summary Salutations. That word really sums up the game. It's nice to feel wanted and to receive thanks for your efforts and the game provides plenty of that, if you don't mind it coming from a machine. The graphics are pretty and it is mechanically satisfying too. It provides a high level of synchronicity and a variety of storytelling opportunities through its gameplay and themes. Gameplay The bulk of the gameplay (so far) is travelling between the world's various bunkers, most of which are identical in appearance. It's not a game for somebody who enjoys variety of gameplay in all honesty. There are some combat sections that did serve a purpose for storyte...

Hello, Charlie here. I took another walk, a much shorter one this time with less awkwardness. I went the route I was originally going to take on my last walk only this time I ran into people before even reading the first lane. It was a couple with a pram, they were speaking about Blackberry Lane so I assumed this was the name of the lane we were walking along. I sped up so as not to invade their personal space too much. I decided that I would continue walking until I ran into some kind of "interesting" landmark. As I walked I passed by a lady who kindly asked how I wasn't cold in the clothes I was wearing (just jeans and a t-shirt) after I said hello to her. This mirrored a viral video I saw earlier (before the walk, not earlier today) in which a lady was asked by a man in a suit to help him with his tie and she made a similar comment after rubbing his hands. She gave him a heat pack to keep him warm. The guy had been asking strangers to tie his tie as a social experiment...
