Good things

1. I saw the Toutankhamon touring exhibit. I loved it! I mean, I am exactly the kind of nerd who would love something like this, but I still thought it was very well done. The more I think about it, the more I realise it's the smaller everyday objects I loved the most. Yes, the statues were impressive, but there's a 3000 years old pair of linen gloves! Yes, the jewelry is magnificent (and I never noticed before, but he had pierced ears, as depicted in representations of him) but the miniature boardgame is the cutest, bestest thing! It's also a box to hold the game pieces! It's reversible! With a different game on each side! I WANT ONE.

2. After tomorrow I get back to working in the office, which means I no longer will have to commute with my laptop on my back like a digital age turtle. My shoulder will thank me. Three more commutes! I can do this.

3. Did a few art pieces with entirely free/promotional materials (notebook, pencil, ballpoint). They turned out pretty good, I think. Idk I feel like the complete lack of pressure to ~live up to the medium~ helped me relax? Pretty stressed and uncreative lately.

4. fandomgiftbox is running again! Yay!

5. I love Taylor Swift's latest.

Watch on YouTube

I think this is going to be one of those songs I get ood mental health mileage out of. (Taylor Swift is very good at those, for me, idk why.)

I love those everyday objects from history, too! It's amazing to imagine those ordinary moments and how there are common threads that bind people through time even through important and fascinating differences.

That song is really fun, too! I also like that Taylor is using her platform for activism.

I thought you might, lol.

It's so catchy as well. All day today i found myself going "damn, it's 7am" at random moments.
