I like movies and video games and classical music and fountain pens and bad sentence structure
Just finished watching The Human Condition, a 1959-61 movie directed by Masaki Kobayashi. It's nine and a half hours long and fantastic. (Watched it over the course of a few days).
It's on youtube! Here's the first part: https://youtu.be/vsPsyu_R110
Warning: it's pretty difficult viewing. Plenty of bad wartime stuff happens. It's not a happy film, but it is good.

Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.
If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.
Today's been pretty good.
Long (hilly) bike ride, food, a nap, and some video games.
Tomorrow, studying begins in earnest
This is a bucket full of sloths

I would like to bring to your attention: The ring-tailed moongoose, which looks a bit like a miniature red panda.

Did you know: You can tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile by determining whether the animal sees you later or after a while.
Grading sucks
Okay y'all I gots me a #baking question.
I want to bake cookies for my spouse. He loves caramel. I want to make caramel-flavored cookies, possibly with chocolate chips. IS IT POSSIBLE to achieve this simply by caramelizing the sugar prior to mixing it into the other wet ingredients, or would this affect the chemistry of the dough enough that I need to accommodate for it with some additional ingredient changes?
The problem with horse men is that they always have to be the centaur of attention. I'm sorry, that was taurible.
I found some new music I like: Cantus Arcticus by the composer Einojuhani Rautavaara.
(Some of the richness of the piece reminds me of La Mer a little)
