ㅤㅤ٠࣪⭑things have been crazy lately and i feel like i don't have time to even breathe. in order to remind myself of my own humanity i'm going to document some of the things that have been on the brain lately so i don't get too lost in the sauce and remember that i do, in fact, still do things 𖹭 i wrote almost all of this during stand downs at work yippee. ㅤㅤ𝟷. 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕 🍃 ㅤ ٠ new game new game new game !!!!! one of my favorite people on the planet reccomended wwm to me and i finally got to play it last thursday. the graphics are so crazy on this game, i feel like i finally got to put my 2.5 thousand dollar pc to real use for once. i'm not too sure what the story of this game is even after playing it for 7+ hours ngl 😭 but it's still so fun and definitely gonna be my new addiction once these 60 hour work weeks are done. ㅤㅤ𝟸. 𝒉𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒖𝒊𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒔𝒂 𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆.. ㅤ ٠ i both loved and hated discovering haisuinonasa. their music is so insane, but.. they haven't released anything since 2015 🥀 i had to go on a major deep dive to find the individual members' other projects. ㅤㅤthe vocalist, ai kamano, has a solo career (last release 1yr ago) and is also apart of a band called österreich (last release 2022 and she isn't a vocalist on a lot of their songs). the issue here is that with österreich, this was a band started by someone who came from Another band with a similar sound called the cabs that is inactive as well. current count for new discographies to look into is at 3 🫡 ㅤㅤapparently the producer, yoshimasa terui, is the producer for the jujutsu kaisen anime which was wild to discover and they also produce for sora tob takana (currently inactive) as well. they're also apart of a Different band called siraph which i am going to need to deep dive on their discography as soon as possible, every song i listened to was so good and the band is still actually active as in we have 2025 releases.. ㅤㅤso in the end, discovering haisuinonasa led me to discovering one...two....six new bands/artists 🫡 and while i'm grateful for all the new music i get to enjoy i'm honestly still bittersweet on haisuinonasa no longer being active. there's something so special there and it makes me sad there won't be more 🥀 but i will treasure the songs that there are, please go listen to their ep 'about town'. ㅤㅤ𝟹. 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒔 🌅 ㅤ ٠ more music because yeah! but i need, possibly more than anything i've ever needed in my entire life, for the artist behind morning movies to be found. i got a god tier reccomended video from youtube and it was for the linked video entitled 'unknown artist - morning movies' by youtube channel üllar siir which i will now be frequenting often. this song sounds like sunshine in its purest, rawest form. i feel like i'm being hugged by the vocals and the instrumental is gently patting my head, telling me i did good ❤️‍🩹 and there's also this soft quiet melancholic feel to it in the background, soooo perfect and lovely. i am devastated there's no known artist so i can't even look for more if i tried.. ㅤㅤ𝟺. 𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍/𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕 ☕️ ㅤ ٠ i am extremely picky with scents. 99% of things smell like cleaning products or old people to me unfortunately but i also want to smell good too <//3 i have landed on 2 products that when used together last genuinely my entireee work shift like i'm able to smell it on me even on my drive home, and i do 12 hours of manual labor this shouldn't even be possible. 🙏🙏🙏 saltair's body lotion in salt water vanilla, and amber perfume oil by nemat 🙏🙏🙏 swv lotion smells like sweetness but with a salt element that really helps it to blend into your skin better. and when combined with amber that just smells like warm clean skin out of the shower you get the perfect sweet cozy skin scent. ㅤㅤ𝟻. 𝒑𝒖𝒎𝒑𝒌𝒊𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒊𝒍 ㅤ ٠ i have been struggling with waaay more hair shedding than normal lately. probably due to my hair being in a tight ponytail basically all the time for work. but this has been so devastating because i miss having full hair <//3 in an attempt to bringher back to her fullest glory, i am starting pumpkin seed oil+saw palmetto supplements as well as using the hair growth serum from the ordinary. the best part about pumpkin seed oil is that it works for your hair by blocking dht which alsooo helps with acne. yet another cool thing i've been painstakingly trying to fix. so if this ends up a solution for both problems i think i may ascend or something. ㅤㅤUPDATE. i have an update to this as in it's taken me like 2 weeks to write this fully so i figured i could update as i'm writing how fun. but uh. i don't know if it's specifically the serum or the supplement but i have soooo many baby hairs 😭 i just had to use hair wax to slick them back because my ponytail now looks insane bc of how many baby hairs are sticking out. if we can keep this shit up then this is going to be a permanent routine for me bc omg..
