Here are the Timelines samurai-inspired Optimus Prime and Starscream figures that I had to get. Honestly great quality figures for the price but it's the box art that I love the most, so stunning and elegant, someone really spent a lot of time on it.

Stressful week at the office (sort of) resolved early, I'm working from home tomorrow. Wahoo! 🤪

Still loving this Gothic witchy coord from 4 years ago. I'm wearing items almost all from black creators and businesses in this photo!

Woe, wall of astigmatism be upon ye

I'm back at it with black history month posts in February, especially on my favorite subject Japanese street fashion. Check out my blog post for links to creators you may not already be following! starsbegantofall.com/2026/02/25/l...

Emailing the CEO of Arizona Iced Tea and letting him know the CVS near me is charging $1.09 for the 22oz and he sends a drone to level the building in a fury of fire and rage

got another "i wish i could draw" comment this week and i am yelling the same thing i am always yelling: drawing is a technical skill. it's teachable and learnable and it is never "too late" to start picking it up

another rough day at work but at least my distraction didn't affect my rates this particular day. but i have to lock in the rest of the days ugh. anyway, i've been making progress with reorganizing things, still messy but different mess now, which reads as clean to my dementia-brain

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

I was 10 minutes late but it was a pleasant diy zine workshop, there were only 4 other people there, not much younger than me, besides the facilitator and so everyone conversed freely about various topics, like how ai and chat-gpt is evil which obviously i agree with lol

have a pretty bad migraine today (must be lack of boba lol). also I'm not sure I'll make it to the zine workshop due to commuting/traffic, but I'll definitely try anyway.

I've just been lying in bed all day because I have an event in mid afternoon and if I do anything else I will be late for it.

I dropped my phone on the concrete and luckily the screen protector cracked leaving the camera lens more or less intact but it still wasn't a good result, not sure if there is internal damage. i have to buy another lens protector.

Spent time with my family for visiting my dad's grave, watching the lion dance (they did pole jumping here!), eating crawfish pasta, then napping like crazy even though I didn't wake up that early. Gotta relax before locking in

haven't progressed on genshin or nikki because i don't wanna parkour and haven't progressed in fire emblem bc i can't play chess. so even though i got a doctorate and am an artist, i'm too stupid and uncoordinated to get past the tutorial level of videogames?

I just don't think I should be working and paying taxes for evil pedo cannibals to buy a fifth yacht.

Longest day of my life. Hate it here

Current fave video is young male muay thai fighters unable to tolerate a period pain simulator set at level 4, doubled over in pain, but the young woman could spar just fine with it turned to 8. Not even sweating.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Wow, in the agony, I forgot I had Tuesday off not Wednesday, and I still have 2 more days of work.

sw - ooh, just one more day until the weekend. one more day of suffering and agonies.

new recipe review - sfogliatelle from the sopranos cook book! very difficult to make, but i had the audacity to try starsbegantofall.com/2026/02/17/r...

things are so awful i don't even know what to talk about these days. hate it! anyway, i found a box of gifts i wanted to give friends but never did, so i'm repurposing them into freebies the next time i'm out. i like the idea of freebies/trades (from kpop fans), makes things slightly less awkward

2026 basically

❤️‍🔥✨

Had the day off so I woke up late in order for my aching body to recover. Then I went shopping at the Asian stores while they were not crowded on a Tuesday afternoon, got some freebies for li xi and treats for myself. Ate yummy leftovers so I didn't cook, did a little organizing but not too much lol

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake And a happy year of the whores to you all

Chúc mừng Năm mới! Happy year of the Horse! Wishing good fortune to everyone this new year... again. Until it comes true. Here is the food I've made, plus Hello Kitty pineapple cakes to be cute. 🧧 🧨🐎

decided to take a nap, now i'm fighting for my life, lol. almost there!

I've been so sore since I woke up this morning, all of my body hurts. From cleaning too hard??? I think I'm going to be cutting it close tonight and have to cancel making dessert for tomorrow which I have off. But I have plenty of sweets already lol

Oh no my Internet died. My hands are hurting and stinging from cleaning. Guess I'll give up for now! 🫥

Just 2 more spots left to clean in the living area, but I think I'm going to move to my room next. I also pre-chopped vegetables so I can just go straight to cooking tomorrow. But first, a pastry for energy....

My mom and I went to the grocery nearby to buy new year flowers and there were at least 3 women with shopping carts full of discounted flowers there lol. Go queen, treat yourself with $5 rose bouquets 🌹💐

busy yet not busy day today! i'm glad I had the audacity to attempt to bake sfogliatelle, then got to watch more disco elysium. was it the absolute best pastry ever, no, but it wasn't the worst, at least it tasted good. now back to cleaning ugh.

Ominous bird valentines.

currently stuck in the genshin lantern rite event bc i haven't finished the liyue main quest yet lol. oh well, i heard it wasn't as good as the previous years, maybe i'll catch up on sunday or my day off (if i get it)

finally free from the rat race of my job so that i can go to my next job, cleaning and cooking, maintaining my own life is another job lol

Friday 13th, pass the toxic yaoi 🥂

Did you know the pandemic was 6 years ago? I didn't think we would live this long tbh. I think that's why I feel so tired and drained these days. That and I'm old...

Spent over an hour cleaning so I don't have to do too much the night before Tet, the floor is now somewhat clean lol. I still want to reorganize my counters and pantry. And should I put away the Christmas tree now? Or will it lend an extra festive pizazz to my ancestor offerings?

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working" So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images

gotta decide my menu for tet, less than a week away. i may have the actual day off but i should cook the sunday or monday before just to be safe. i'm going with chicken cabbage salad, congee and stir fry shrimp. i kind of want to make my fave sticky rice dessert, we'll see how i feel then

I finished the Cells at Work anime tonight. Very satisfying if silly, I feel like I actually learned a few things, too. Onto the spinoff series now!

Very sad news. For years preventive standard for colorectal cancer has been first screenings starting at age 50. We’re seeing it more and more in people in their 40s, 30s, and even 20s. The American Cancer Society recently dropped their recommendation to 45. Be aware of potential signs and symptoms:

It is a little wild that you aren’t seeing More elected officials putting their bodies on the line, risking arrest, you’d think this would be the perfect time for it even if all you were worried about was fundraising and keeping your job

Attempted to bake this biscoff cream cheese mug cake because I had ingredients that needed using but I didn't have biscoff cookies lol. Turned out too sweet for me. I like Korean/Japanese cheese desserts usually but it's not my favorite youtu.be/uWxzBsgGjf4?...
