so Facebook changed their avatars and EEK!

Ok…so apparently Facebook changed the look of their avatars to match the Quest VR versions? And they clearly did this without anyone who works anywhere at Meta bothering to consult an actual cartoon, comic book, or caricature artist, or even just google “uncanny valley”? Because what the fuck is this?!?!? Seriously WHAT… THE… ACTUAL… FUCK……

Day 16 of the New Era

I’ve been really busy lately. This was supposed to be about changes. But I’ve barely had a minute to breathe. Time to fix that. Decided to read a novel this weekend. One I had been meaning to read anyway. So I downloaded the Hunger Games to my iPad. This is the first book I’ve read entirely digitally (i have several that I read part on iPad and part in paperback). It’s actually kinda nice. Really looking forward to books two and three. But they’ll have to wait. Lots of work to do.

Day 13 of the New Era

I think I used to be more intersting when I did 365 before. Now I have a lot of days when I come home from work and all I want to do is lay down and take a nap. So on a day like today. we’ll just settle for a nice simple "let’s fire up Photo Booth on the Macbook and let what happens happen."

Day 11 of the New Era

So, after yesterday, I’m pretty much out of things to do with the whole grad school thing. I don’t know what will happen so mostly I’m just trying not to worry about it.

Umm, good luck with that.

Yeah, sadly, I don’t have much else going on to think about. So that gives me not much else to do for a photo either.

How did I used to do this everyday again?

Day 10 of the New Era

Ok, that’s it… GREs done. Didn’t do as well as I hoped, but I’m trying to tell myself that that’s to be expected since I didn’t study for them and I’ve been out of school for 14 years. But I’m trying to stay optimistic.

Grad school app submitted. Not happy with that either. My grades we’re the best back when I was younger, but there’s not exactly anything I can do about that now. In any case, it’s finished. Out of my hands. Time for some beer!
