Problem solved.
Single shot -sized filter basket for our espresso machine’s portafilter got clogged up.
So, while I soak the smaller filter basket to clean it, I have no other option than to use
the bigger filter basket and drink only double espressos.
-I can totally live with that.
This time of the year is really not my thing.
-Hello-oo-oo-o! There’s stuff you should take care of! Take a shower, answer your e-mail, cook some food, vacuum the floor, pay the bills!
-Give me even one good reason why I should bother. / -Well, ehrm… there are social norms… or… I’m sure there’s something…
-Thought so. Get back to me if you actually come up with a proper argument. / -Fuck.
-Damn. What’s the time? (Alarm didn’t work.)
-Half past ten. Well, that’s not so bad. For a moment there I was afraid that I had slept past noon again.
[Three hours later] -Well fuck.
(I’m pretty sure that aliens abduct me repeatedly. I can’t think of anything else to explain how I can just lose several hours
and afterwards have no idea where that time has gone.)
-I’d like to discuss social topics in my blog more often. Comment on stuff that’s important to me.
-But many subjects are so multilayered and complicated that I don’t feel that I know enough to be able to form a well-reasoned and
researched opinion about them. I don’t have enough time to study everything as deeply as I feel I should before I could offer a reasonable
and informed argument on some specific topic. It can often be hard to even determine how reliable different sources are!
-Most people don’t seem to perceive their lack of knowledge as an obstacle to voicing their opinions.
-Yeah. But there are so many of them already, I doubt it would do any good for me to join in too.
Olen hakenut taas rennompaa asennetta blogijuttujen piirtämiseen, toisin sanoen lasken rimaa että onnistuisin postaamaan
useammin ja pääsemään hyvään päivitysrytmiin. Tätä siitä sitten seuraa.
-It’s hard to come up with ideas. Again.
-Maybe Oblique Strategies would help?
-Well that was easy.
(Jos joku ei tiedä, niin Oblique Strategies on Brian Enon ja Peter Schmidtin kehittämä, alunperin korttipakkamuotoinen apuväline esimerkiksi ideoiden kehittelyyn ja luovien blokkien ratkaisuun. Nykyään siitä löytyy useampiakin online-versioita, kuten vaikka tämä.)
-I should update my blog, but I don’t want to draw just lots and lots of talking heads. Especially if it’s just my own. That’s boring as hell, both for me and the readers.
-You could draw other talking body parts for a change!
-Yes! All my problems are now history!
Tämä entry tuli tehtyä englanniksi ihan vain, koska sen oli kuuntelemani podcastin kieli. Minulla on taipumus olettaa, että todennäköisesti lähes kaikki blogin seuraajat lukevat englantia melko sujuvasti, mutta jos kaipailette käännöksiä tämmöisissä tapauksissa, niin huudelkaa kommenteissa niiden perään ja yritän saada lisättyä suomennokset.
Yritän myös parantaa päivitystahtia – materiaalia on kyllä, mutta jotenkin toi skannerin ja fotarin käyttö tuntuu kauhean vaativalta…
Lisäksi satunnaispiirustus. Ostan maustekurkkuja usein venäläisestä kaupasta ja niitä on tarjolla niin montaa sorttia, että tulee aina runsaudenpula valintaa tehdessä.
Additional random doodle. I often buy pickles from a Russian grocery shop, and there are so many different kinds that it’s hard to choose from so many options. (With chili, with garlic, traditional, crispy…)
Year seems to have changed, so I guess I’ll better start posting again.
(Btw, I haven’t forgotten that the santa picture in my previous post is still unfinished. I decided to use it to practice my digital painting, possibly because I’m stupid that way, and that shit takes ages. I would probably get better results faster by using oil paints and canvas. So, don’t hold your breath.)
En tiedä, miksi tämä tuli tehtyä englanniksi. Siihen saattoi ehkä olla joku syy, tai sitten ei. Mutta kai te nyt osaatte ton silti lukea.
Perseharjoitelma.
Butt study.
