Man, it has been hard to get much done besides the necessities of housework, homework, and cooking meals for everyone. I’ve managed to get my coursework for my Master’s program worked on in time but I feel very sluggish. I think if I were to analyze myself it would be that my subconscious is preparing and reserving most of my energy for the “just in case” things that run through one’s brain during an event like this. Fine. Normal response. But I’d like to be able to read something and find it interesting. Everything feels a little blah right now. It’s ok. It’s not forever.

Well, on that note, here’s a few things that DID catch my attention lately:

This is an incredible project for two reasons to me - the artistry of it, and the relentless dedication this type of habit requires. Really cool.

Another good visual reminder why we should stay home until further notice.

This brought me relentless and unending joy. My favorite comfort movie I really need to watch. That might be the cure and temporary escape I’ve been looking for. Talk about relationship goals and that editing job too. Excellent work.

This project at the Library of Congress sounds like the ideal job and I love it and kind of really want to be on that team.

If you love going to the movies as much as I do, or need some channel that will let you cry, watch the clips in this twitter thread. It’s very cathartic. I miss going to the movies so much.

It’s census time, and if you like infographics, this one is really cool and all about how the census questions have changed over time.

I have always loved puzzles. I think they’re best done in the winter with an audiobook and some hot beverage while other people are mingling or you’ve been mingling with other people earlier and are now blissfully alone with the puzzle and your book. Optional, but recommended, a cozy set of PJ’s and a blankie for your lap. This is an incredible look at how puzzles are made. Loved it. Can’t wait to order more.

Finally, I just really enjoyed this bit of ridiculous creativity.

Wishing you health and entertainment. Take care.
