Woke up and read the new posts on![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
synonymous: jaw-dropping as usual and all that, but this time I actually laughed! I can't remember the last time something in this trashfire was ridiculous enough to laugh at without also being too worrying for the laugh to get through.
Watching (Good Omens)
I haven't used Twitter for months and I don't see ads on Tumblr, which I've been opening about once a week tops since I never get time at my desktop computer now thanks to this cat divorce. As a result, I haven't seen any spoilers about Good Omens yet.waxjism has to work today and she's going to probably be exhausted because she's doing Ticketmaster support and there are two festivals in Finland today. 😬 So we can't start watching it until Sunday and we might not finish it until next week. We haven't watched the new season of Ted Lasso, either, because Wax is feeling stressed and not 'in the mood' for comedy. When she needs something soothing she can only watch bad crime drama. I find that the opposite of soothing (often upsetting enough that I have to leave), but I do read badfic for the same purpose.
House
My painting projects keep getting delayed because it rains. You can't paint the lovely linseed-containing Uula paint at higher than 80% humidity. And in other painting news, I'm using acrylics for the mirror frame upstairs - it doesn't need a breathable surface and I have a ton of old acrylic to use up - but omg, it's been such a long time that I forgot not only how awful acrylic smells, but how persistent the smell is! The mirror is right by the balcony door that's nearly always open, but it's still stinking up the whole upstairs for days after each bit is dry to the touch! I'm probably not going to buy more acrylic after this. I'm interested to explore traditional homemade paints for future decorative furniture painting - the paints that would've traditionally been used for those projects: tempera and glue paint.
