I'm saving my dollars to eat as many $5 burritos as possible tomorrow.

I'd like to know this story.

Well, there's not much to it- an Australian chain of Mexican restaurants has a $5 burritos special each year for Cinco de Mayo (5th of May), which is a somewhat important date in Mexican history where a bunch of Mexican soldiers woke up from their siestas long enough to somehow beat a much larger force of French invaders, which was understandably a source of much national pride.


Now with that explanation out of my way, onto my next, very much related, Mild Sad: I don't think I should set myself an eating-based challenge ever again. I planned on eating four goddamn burritos today (with a decent amount of time between them, of course, I allocated a full day for this so there would be no rush), but I was about halfway through my second when I started to feel uncomfortably full.

It didn't help that the restaurant was much more crowded by that time compared to an hour or so earlier when I had my first one.
To my credit, I managed to very nearly finish the whole thing despite feeling like I was gonna hurl for the last few bites- there was only one, maybe two bites worth left when I gave up. Still was a sad defeat, though, and I felt bloated beyond belief as I staggered out of the store (forgetting my half-full bottle of water in the process). It's a wonder I didn't barf as I gingerly made my way up the street to the train station, where I shortly had to use the *shudder* public toilet.

On the bright side, perhaps this experience will cure me of my awful habit of trying to finish every damn thing on my plate, even if it's a completely unnecessary amount of food, usually leading to me feeling bad later. (Unless the meal in question is something gross, in which case I have no problems leaving it.)
Hopefully at least some good comes from this.

Now, I think I shall go nap for a while, or maybe just relax, and see if I feel up to going back for round three later.
I have a couple of friends who expressed interest in getting cheap burritos, too.

Unity's default chromatic aberration filter effect thingy doesn't look right. It's either virtually unnoticeable, or OVER NINE THOUSAAAAND.

chromatic aberration is awful anyway so

You only ever want to use it when you need to correct for it in VR

[itisnotlogical]

i want my game to look like a VHS recording of a low-budget TV commercial though

not even joking, I'm making a game with a vaporwave aesthetic to see if it can be done, and that means just a tiny bit of intentional eyesore is necessary

[Putnam]

then excessive chromatic aberration should be good??

[itisnotlogical]

Just a tiny bit. Besides, I never noticed chromatic aberration until it was pointed out to me, so just a medium amount would be better.

[chaotic skies]

Pretty sure i've made one of my friends either hate me or extremely dislike me. I think I also alienated everyone else a little too.

FUCK DON'T PUT THAT IN MILDSAD JEEZ

I'm so tired, but I have to go to a bullshit appointment in a bit over an hour.
That will probably involve me being chained to a computer desk until I apply for enough jobs I hope with all my heart not to get. Either that or, even worse, a retarded group chat about looking for work or some bullshit. Which involves sitting next to people in a small room for an undefined amount of time.
I hate my new employment office.

[chaotic skies]

It's a mild sad to me because they're not actually that close of a friend, and I'm not to worried about it. I'm more sad about why they're angry anyway.

[Egan_BW]

If you don't care that they're mad than they probably don't count as a friend. The misfiling still makes me a bit mad, but you probably don't care.

Been feeling kind of lost for a while now. Feeling it harder right now; kinda listless and ineffectual where I'm at, sad over a lot of things I have no power to change, and I don't know where to head next. Had a string of upheavals in the last year or two, and lost a lot of dear people and things. I don't have a clear sense of what I want anymore.

As it stands, I feel like I've been working and eating and living by Muscle Memory from day to day. I don't know how to cultivate happiness in my life, right now. I don't feel as confident about my life or my abilities as I used to, either. Feels like a fire that's always kept me going, whatever the circumstances, has been running a lot colder lately.

Part of me thinks I need some kind of change, like living in another place, finding new work, seeking out new relationships that are more genuine or understanding than my present ones, finding some way to go back to school and finish up that loose end. Something like that.

It feels like it's time to go wandering for a bit. I just don't know where to.

I'm sick (respiratory stuff) but I can't stay home because I have too much to do.

I think I'm going to do my best to avoid the fandoms of things I like. Searching up what some people think about some of the music I like and seeing them shot all over it and start to ruin my enjoyment of it pisses me off.

This is a good idea. Sometimes fandoms can be a place for breeding resentment, as often as they are places for breeding joy.
