How's the sleeping going? Do you find forcing yourself to go for a coffee and a long walk during the day helps?

trying to generally be more positive about my life and concentrate on good things. it's ridiculous, i know, but i've never ever thought to think this way and almost always concentrated on the bad stuff as a sort of coping(?) developing(?) process.

Stevie I highly recommend Tulum as your next Mexico trip, easily do-able from the east coast for three nights or so, you may really dig it and decide to abandon the U.S. ship to live/work there for a while. Unless you really prefer cities (like me); in that case do not live in Tulum. Or anywhere on the Baja peninsula :)

ripping an absurd amount of music to put on a walkman I got at the start of the week, to ensure I got a clip I'd lost on a previous one. Just hope it works ok. But it does seem to be consuming most of my energy.
Having a tv that I can watch things on through attaching a memory stick to a USB connection. Probably been something taht people have been doing for years but new to me. Am aware that it is a function on laptops etc, but has it been on tvs for long/Having a tv I can see properly and can actually read writing on.
The growing feeling taht I need to get back to springcleaning my room as I tried before Xmas and didn't get through. MAybe getting too into procrastination too.
Sewing, taking a course once a week that i need to do some homework I brought home to catch up with the rest of the more experienced people in the class and not been doing because I've been ripping hundreds of cds all week.
David Byrne's How Music Works when I get around to reading it, yet again not getting this done cos of the above.

Sewing stuffed toys for the class project. May have overstuffed though. May need to change stuffing too, used an old duvet as had been suggested at one point in class. I'd washed it recently since it had been lying around with holes in for ages.
Thinking of signing up for a dressmaking course at same place. Could pick up a lot more techniques as long as I can make something other than dresses.
The Book of Mormon. Saw it in camera version on Friday but camera version of theatre performance not as good as film. Harder to get angle right I guess, looking down in curved theatre rather than up in straight one.But hilarious show. Now to see it live live.
Working out what to do with the flat. Got new furniture in shape of table & chairs so need to work out how to make things fit better. Managed to really hem myself in while ripping music for new walkman. Also need to work out how best to house cds that have been ripped. Need another dimension for storage. Or better shelving system.

Adam, what is the best way to obtain a sufficient variety of Perler beads?? It seems like you can buy a grossly overpriced 12-pack of assorted colors, or you can buy a cheap huge bucket that is all mixed together. Is there any other way? I really want to make EarthBound perler art.

http://www.amazon.com/Perler-Beads-1-000-Count-Tan/dp/B000I0RPUU
This seems like the best bet; 1000-count bags for arounde $2.50 each. I'd just have to pick which colors I'd use the most
― vylvyt ylvis (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 8 February 2014 20:50 (ten years ago) link
Cool! Go for it! I'm pretty new to it, but I went ahead and bought the bucket of random colors, because I'm cheap and in a way I enjoy sorting those things. I put together a cool Charlie Brown yesterday but during the process realized how little black beads there were in the bucket. I'm guessing it's the most high in demand, so I would say get the bucket and if you run low, you can buy packs of individual beads on Amazon. Getting a nice, big, transparent grid board is worth the investment.

James Burke's 1970s series Connections. I just watched through the whole set over the last couple of days while continuing to sew stuffed toys for the class project. Interesting to see this programme nearly 36 years later. The historic parts presumably remain for the most parts valid but this is now reflectively stuck in history itself. Wonder if anybody would approach things the same way now. Or is this an influence on the way tv shows have presented themselves since?
Inside the Animal MindChris Packham show that's been on BBC2 for the last few weeks showing how animals see the world and showing levels of intelligence I hadn't been aware of. For example it seems that the whole Crow family have what he refers to as mental flexibility so they can not only learn to handle a given problem but also apply what they're learnt to other problems. It showed a Raven learning how to open a puzzle box Packham had devised so rapidly they had to slow down the camera. Also a jay learning to get maggots out of a water filled container by dropping stones into the water until it rose enough to get their beak in. THis after having been shown the principle on a totally different set up, a stone dropped onto the top of a box would release a worm from the bottom of the box. So they could take that and figure out water displacement and also differentiate between using this on a water filled container whereas they recognised they couldn't in a sand filled one. Shows that more animals have the ability to use tools than it has been traditionally supposed. I don't know why the monkey using a twig to get termites from a mound was only noted in 1962. Whether it was dismissed before or just not seen. Also occured to me that you could make a really cool sci fi story based on the idea that animals hadn't had the ability to use tools prior to that date and are rapidly growing in intelligence.
Boardwalk EmpireJust watched through seasons 2&3 over the last week. Hoping there will be more before long though haven't checked if there is already any. Not sure how long I've had those. Maybe when I wake up.
