slept to the sound of rain, and woke up to sunlight in my pg for the first time, and there is something to be said about it actually i think i can put into words what poets have failed to write about sunlight and rain for millennia (shoutout to my blog fans who recognise the reference to the prev post). i had been lost to you, sunlight/and flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight. or maybe i'll just surrender to hozier. i decided to myself that i was going to exhibit patience, as part of my campaign to combat immediate gratification and let myself do things without needing external validation at every step of the way aka the gita's most popular shlok. however, i could not resist telling everyone i met throughout the day about the pretty blog i made and don't the colours look so nice? so i think getting reactions from everyone within 12 hours of writing really drives the goal of delayed gratification off the table {but (ishita and) i still don't have instagram so i'll still take that win.}

the telegram tech broadcast channel i've been on just posted about an app that video-guides you through a recipe (with AI guidance, of course), and i can't help but think it's not a great idea in principle: when your hands are dirty, and you're (probably) going slower than the professional recipe-maker, isn't the last thing you'd want a video that doesn't stop, and you can't physically stop till you overcome another barrier (washing your hands)? i think i like my guides text-based and at my own pace. moving on,

i'm too sleepy to think, so just have a song of the day. i told everyone who asked if this was going to be a daily thing that it probably will not, and i mean it, but it's a nice way to end the day. i remember reading that sleep actually helps 'solidify' your memories, and i think this helps even more because it makes me go over what i've done throughout the day. so i'm glad :) good time of day! (night to me now)
