silly thoughts and weird stuff

9/17/24: i just wanted to add a quick note here for my own records. i started crocheting a sweater yesterday, the 16th, and i want to keep track of how long it takes me to finish, just out of curiosity. im really excited to have a handmade sweater for the fall and winter, if i can finish it fast enough.

7/25/24: hi, just wanted to write a quick update since it's been so long since i posted on here. I just added some new stuff to the artbox and changed the plants area to a book blog because i've been doing a lot of reading and want to track how i feel about books and how long it takes me to read them. i'm also trying to get more into coding so i've learned python and i'm currently doing the basics of compsci, which are pretty interesting. hopefully i'll be around and updating stuff a lot more, i hope you all are doing well :)

4/30/24: ahahahah hi sorry it's been a month and literally nothing here has changed at all lol.... i just graduated from college this weekend and im trying to figure out adult life which ironically has been giving me more time to work on coding and stuff! planning on looking around for ways to make the website better like adding a guestbook and making the homepage sillier. hoping to also update the plants and art section soon because those things have changed a lot recently. hope you all are doing well! <3

3/30/24: hi hi hello! i hope you guys are all doing good and well sorry i've been absolutely dying and i've been spending most of my time coding screwing around in linux. still thinking about a way to change the home page but i haven't gotten there yet. i'm also thinking about making a website about sustainable practices and the recycling industry, because it's related to my job and something i care about a tonnn. i might add a test page with some of the planned content to this website but i'm not sure yet. if u have any thoughts about that, let me know through neocities and in the meantime i'll work on getting a guest box going on this page so i can actually talk to people instead of just myself haha. :)

3/14/24: hi hello i swear im not dead!!!! im not dead yet!! i've just been drowning in school and work and lab and social life and tyring to figure out how to code a window manager that this has fallen by the wayside unfortunately. im definitely still going to continue working on this, but updates will probably be sporadic and not super noticeable until the summer when i have more time to fuck around with how the home page looks. n e way i hope you all are doing so so good out there <3333

2/10/24: im screaming and crying dude im so mad that im not a real adult with space for a fish tank, i desperately want to have fish!!! went to the store with my boyfriend today to get stuff for his shrimp tank and there was a green spotted puffer and i fucking fell in love with him he is the world's sweetest little guy i have EVER seen i swear!!! he was just very cute and looking for food at the bottom of the tank and it was so sweet. i cannot wait to have an actual house that is mine so i can spend money on fishies!!

2/9/24: bro i've been watching dungeon meshi and im obsessed with all of these weirdos. im definitely going to read the manga soon bc oooohhh my god im obsessed with all of them. also im aware that it gets weird but i dont know how and im terrified about that tbh. n e way i love senshi and laios they r so real and true and marcille is such a mood tbh. ok end of anime rant thanks.

1/25/24: hi guys, little update, im still working on updating the blog, but i think it's a little beyond my coding skills at the moment so that will probably come much later. for now, it'll probably be more of the same, especially since im still working through pokemon black :)))) hoping to maybe work on combining some of the other pages here onto the blog and then reformat it from there??? idk but i'll figure it out eventually so we'll see how it goes

1/11/24: hi hello it's 2 pm and im sitting and waiting for my next class but also thinking about coding and i don't know what to code so i'm just out here typing idk. i should probably do homework, but yeah im working on making this blog cooler, with different sections for my art collections and music recs and plants and other personal stuff. i'm gonna try to get some homework done now i suppose. hope you're having a good one out there lads.

1/8/24: hi hi hello i didn't die i swear to god holy shit, i was trying to do something with linux and i had to take out one of my usbs for mouses and stuff and i accidentally closed my laptop on it and crunched my screen :/// im working on updating this page, but my schedule for this semester is pretty fucking packed, so we'll see how it goes, depending on what the workload is

12/10/23: damn it's been a hot minute. i am no longer ill and it's my finals week so im procrastinating homework :) my housemate and i have been trying to dedicate time to drawing everyday, so here's some pages from my sketchbook this week. not anything particularly interesting, but i definitely like it a lot more than some of my old art.

11/26/23: it is literally 2:50 am.,, i really literally cannot sleep recently and it's AWFUL!!1! n e way all this to say that i am thinking about the stupid josh hutcherson whistle by flo rida edit,,, i didn't see my housemate for two days and she had saved like twelve for me, all equally awful and i hate it but also wow it brings me joy. there was definitely something else i was going to mention but uhhhh i forgor oopsie.

11/19/23: hi everyone, this is totally useless but i've been super sick lately and my lovely boyfriend has been keeping me entertained by literally just going through the pokedex and talking about different pokemon. we've only gotten through the first 150 or so, but i wanted to make a little list here of my favorites, especially because i had NO IDEA that gigantamax pokemon were a thing and im IN LOVE WITH THEM, they're soooo cool and look so fu :)))) in order, here are venosaur, charizard, blastoise, pikachu, meowth, gengar, lapras, and snorlax :) they are all so friend shaped to me <3 ok maybe that's not the right word but i love them and i wont hear otherwise.

10/19/23: i just need everyone who has ever seen this webbed site to know that i regularly say like the legend of the penis because of this accursed image. it has quite literally become a housewide saying that means absolutely nothing. keep slaying absolute penis guys

10/11/23: here's another silly art thing i did. been watching a lot of adventure time lately and came up with this while i was doodling as a homework break. i think his name is bog frog until i can think of a better rhyme. hope you're doing good :)

10/8/23: hi hello again! idk why but i wanted to put some of my art on here, so have a frankie that i did this morning. i might color them in or use it for painting practice, we'll see :)

10/5/23: hi hello! idk why but i thought maybe i'd include a blog on this site. i'm not quite sure where i'm going to go with this, but hopefully i'll figure it out as i go. it'll probably just end up as a dumping ground for my own art and silly interesting thoughts that i have. i hope you're having a good day out there wherever you are :))

art stuff

7/25/24: um, it's been a hot minute since i've updated anything on here but i promise im still alive and doing things. here are my favorite pieces from the last couple of months.

5/2/24: hi hi im alive again!! i've been making art on and off since the last time i updated this, so im just going to put up my favorite pages in my sketchbook from the oldest to most recent :)

hi hello once more, made this one over the last couple of days, today being 11/8. no particular meaning but i found a few really good ocean themed magazines at work and NEEDED to cut them up

hi hello again, this is al from november 2023! made this during halloweekend and i'm really proud of it, it looks so nice on my wall :) especially love the little cat guy that my boyfriend refers to as el wiwi <33

yea so this is a weird one i made a few years ago that ended up being about depression even though i didn't go into it with any artistic intention

so i made this on the same day as the previous one, i've since forgotten the exact date but i'd say sometime early 2022. i think this one speaks for itself but i really like the color scheme :)

this used to be a spot for plants but i kept forgetting to update it, so i'm going to be using it as a log of books that i've been reading. i've been using the summer to get through my reading list and i'd like to record my thoughts about the books as i read them :)

7/25/24: i've been reading children of dune for a couple weeks now and i'm about halfway through. i like it a lot so far and i think that he wrote the twins in a very interesting way, and has added a lot to Jessica's character, although i resent the implications made that every man near her on Caladan was in love with her, like bro calm down not every man has to be a past or present lover, you can just have friends. anyway, it's a fairly good book and i'm excited to finish it :)

9/17/24: ok so i totally forgot to update this when i finished the book, but oh my god the ending sucked total ass, like what the hell was that. it read like someone else stepped in to finish it at the last second which may or may not be true i havent looked into it but like jesus christ that sucked. anyway, now im reading best served cold by joe abercrombie, im about halfway through, it's really interesting and i like the character writing.
