Some impressions stay and some will fade away

Some images from 2024

And a list of recent delights:

Better late than never: I just discovered that you can lay out zines/booklets on MS Word.

I could never get myself to get along with correction tape, but apparently they make retractable ones with rotating heads now, so I'm reconsidering my stance. XD

I've been missing the more tactile and intentional experience of physical photos lately (especially after finding some old ones when I decluttered last year), so being able to place orders in a local print shop with files from my phone gallery and have prints delivered to my doorstep has been a godsend. I had spent years waffling over whether or not to get those mini instax printers, but having to deal with the expense and stock limitations of special paper is just too bothersome. Old school really is still the best school! And it's so nice not having to go out, interact with people, or have access to a computer to get it done.

So far my only "goals" in 2025 are: 1) figure out my computer situation (whether or not it's repairable and how much it would cost if it is), 2) go to the dentist, 3) get a health insurance plan. But I really am so demotivated these days, so who knows. Maybe I'm just waiting for LNY to come and snake year to officially commence. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your 2024 images are lovely (and often delicious!)
Good luck with the 2025 (and/or snake year) goals; they sound very practical. <3

Thank you! I sure hope I actually get such achievable tasks done. ^^;

Good luck with any goals you may have for 2025 as well~

What pretty pictures! (And now I'm hungry.)

It's fascinating, the things that work better in the old physical mode than the new digital mode. On the other hand I would probably feel guilty about how many pictures of my cats doing variations of Cute Thing I take if they had to be actually printed.

I feel like I really spent the past decade going in a circle from physical to digital to physical again XD

And there's no such thing as too many cat photos :P

I like that you like that black and white dessert so much two pictures of it made the cut

[halfcactus]

It was a dessert AND an experience :')
