Dreamwidth style system discussion

September 18, 2025, the day that... getting up at 8:00 am was still sleeping in.

Things that made me happy today

My printer/scanner still works!

Daily Smiley: ₍^. .^₎⟆

Quotes of the Day

"Sir, the best apology is changed behavior!"

From a Reads with Rachel video about the Shadow and Bone series, talking about the male lead.

Dreams

I know I had at least two dreams but I don't remember any details.

Things I Bought

Nothing. Stayed in my apartment all day.

Accomplishments

I reorganized the toiletries on the shelves next to the sink in my bathroom! (Still need to actually clean, and when I go to Walmart tomorrow I'll get more surface cleaner.)

Also I cleared my work table and set up my printer/scanner! And they still work, though I had to use the Windows Store scanner software. The original software had more features, but it also would scan and then multiple files of random squares from the same scanned page as if it was so proud that it had guessed that I only wanted those parts. Originally I had to tape a manilla folder to the underside of the top of the scanner so that it would scan the entire page, and I'd just crop out the manilla bits. The Windows Store software doesn't pretend to be "smart" and all it does is scan the entire rectangle every time, but considering the alternative I am so okay with that.

Anyhow, I scanned all of three binders of papers from grade school to close to the present and most of a fourth.

Food

Brunch: frozen pancakes with butter and syrup. Snack: Trader Joe's Spiced Chai prepared as directed. Also lots of half-alkaline/half-filtered water. Early dinner: Cheeseburger (yay for the Costco microwaveable hamburger patty!) and fries (the little 4-minute microwave box from Walmart). Evening: Some Seagram's Escapes.

Today I wore:

Gray T-shirt and black straight-leg yoga pants.

Movies/TV Shows/Books/Podcasts

Books: Read a little bit of Into the Void. Podcasts: The Scathing Atheist (I'd been looking foward to the "Son of a Bitch-uary" for shmurshmur but the PIAT guys were right to not do one for a guy who was murdered, good call probably mostly Noah); Cognitive Dissonance. (Mostly watched YouTube videos while in front of the computer scanning stuff.)

Friends

Just my parasocial relationship with the Puzzle in a Thunderstorm folks. (I'm looking forward to seeing Noah at a CFFC event

Music I Loved Today

I just looked up the closest planetarium and tomorrow they're doing a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon show so now that's in my head. Didn't actually listen to any music outside of some YouTube videos today.

What I Learned Today

To give up on Windows being consistent (I tried to have the folder the scans went into be sort by date added, descending but new stuff kept going to the bottom) and find another way to get stuff done.

Idea from here.
