Le bon temps viendra

So the thing that's easiest about Tumblr is you don't have to word much. DW needs words! Sometimes words are hard! But I won't be asking shitty AI for slop to put here. The words I provide will always be from a tired human who's forcing her brain to work.

I'm typing on my new Asus laptop. I call her RageAgainst, and she is locked down, baby. AI is globally shut down, no Microsoft Office, Duck Duck Go and Firefox loaded with Ad Nauseum and Privacy Badger, no FB (I deleted my account in Jan. 2025) or Instagram, no Adobe. It's beautiful. I may allow iTunes but I'm trying Waveform first. Not sure I love how it organizes album tracks; it's fragmented. Also iTunes is the only way to buy singles. I'm not opposed at all to physical CDs, and I have an external drive. But sometimes you just want one song.

I'm slowly moving all the files and bookmarks over from the previous laptop. It's always nice to set up a new computer, but it's taking a bit more mental energy what with... everything. To relax I've been watching streaming surf cam from all over the world on YouTube. Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia,and Japan have surfers catching waves right now, and it's pleasant to watch the waves roll in and know that there is so much beauty still in the world.
