i bought things

[naushika]

Monsoon season is hanging on pretty late in the year this year. This week has seen a lot of rain and (ugh) humidity. It's been rainy and cloudy all day today. When I woke up I was freezing cold! Coco crawled under the blanket with me and stretched out across my side for warmth. But it works both ways, so I was happy to snuggle my cat warmer too. Haha. Eventually I dragged myself out of bed but I was so cold, I wrapped myself in a blanket and fixed a cup of hot tea.

For the record, it is 75f/24c outside and 77f/25c inside.

I realize I'm ridiculous! But I don't care. *SNUGGLES INTO BLANKET FURTHER*

I went to the thrift store and got this kinda ugly lamp for $5:



Then I had boyfriend take it apart and we spraypainted it and now it looks 284720 times cuter:



I really needed a lamp on my desk. Yay! Also my ultimate plan for this desk is to paint it a nice mustard yellow color. I thought about buying a new desk for a while cause this one's a few years old and showing the wear and it looks just as cheap as it was, but.. I don't really want to spend more money on a new desk, and I need a small one to fit in this space and even Ikea is charging a lot for desks that would fit. So I'll just repaint it to get a few more years out of it I think. Just gotta find the time to paint a desk. AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME TO PAINT FURNITURE.

My tablet finally arrived and it's ah-mayyyyyyy-zing! Behold, 80% of the reason I wanted a tablet in the first place:



mmmmmm comics in bed, nice and large, easy to read

Watch out kids, you will lose quite a lot of your disposable income to this addiction known as comic books. One way or another.

But it's great because I was like, how will I get my comics onto my tablet for easy reading? I really didn't want to haul out a usb cord and transfer over files and have to deal with deleting old ones and how will I predict what mood I will be in which dictates which comic I'll want to read? So I figured out how to sync my Google Drive with certain folders on my hard drive, which uploaded all my comics to the ~cloud. And now I can access my comics from my tablet at any time without transferring files. It doesn't even download them to my tablet, just opens them in my comic reader, so I don't have to worry about clogging up the (pretty small) amount of space on my tablet with comics. IT'S FABULOUS. I did the same process with my ebooks so I can also read any of my books whenever I want, YAY.

I had my boyfriend root the tablet as soon as we got it and he put Cyanogenmod on it and now it can run Google Now, which is a newish app/widget/feature for Android which basically does everything for me. I just hit a button and talk to my tablet like it's a goddamn extension of the starship Enterprise and the tablet MAKES IT HAPPEN. I have so far resisted saying "hello computer" Scotty-style but I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out tbh. The tablet is set to remind me of new episodes of all my tv shows! Fabulousssss. I'm pretty much in love with this thing.

AND FINALLY I started listening to Welcome to Night Vale. Yes it has trapped me in its web as well. I was cleaning up my house yesterday so I popped it on to try it out, and I listened to three episodes while cleaning, then listened to another while showering, then I listened to another on after that just for fun, haha. I really like the mood of it, and I find it really funny. Also I like the songs. A+ would recommend.
