do you ever become obsessed with a character and you just go "of fucking course its that one" at yourself because you are so incredibly predictable

Main reason I'm upset about twosetviolin suddenly stopping is because they were THE classical music fandom. Their channel was one of the few places where young musicians of all different instruments could bond and nerd out about classical music. If twoset doesn't rebrand I at least hope the classical music fandom doesn't fall apart

I actually really like the thing when you're starting to get the hang of a new language, enough to understand and say simple sentences but you gotta get creative to get more complex thoughts across, like a puzzle. I remember a time in the restortation school when a classmate who wasn't natively finnish and did her best anyway dropped something and sighed, telling me "every day is monday this week. I have had four mondays this week." And I understood.
I don't think I speak much of spanish anymore, but in the nursing school training period I did there, I did manage to get by with making weird Tarzan sentences. I got a nosebleed at some point and startled another nurse. Not knowing the words "humidity" or "stress", I managed to string together: "This is ok. It is hot, it is cold, I have a bad day, I am sad, I have blood. This is normal for me." And she understood.
And sometimes you just say things weird, but it's better than not saying it. One time, I was stuck in a narrow hallway behind someone walking really slowly with a walker, and he apologised for being in the way. I was not in any hurry, but didn't know the spanish word for "hurry", but I did know enough words to try to circumvent it by borrowing the english "I have all the time in the world."
The man burst into one of those cackling old man laughters that they do when something in this world still manages to surprise them. He had to be somewhere between 70 and a 100 years old, and I guess if there was one thing he wasn't expecting to hear today, it would be a random blond vaguely baltic-looking fuck casually announce that he is the sole owner and keeper of the very concept of time.

May your rest be peaceful, even if you don't sleep. May your morning be uneventful, even if you're annoyed to be up. And may the coming day be better than you expect, even if just a little

You’ve heard of “don’t monetize your hobbies”; get ready for "don’t master your hobbies".
Your hobbies are here to help you decompress and have fun. They do not have to be disciplines you toil over for expertise, unless that is something you genuinely enjoy doing.
It’s okay to enjoy language-learning without ever becoming fluent, or even conversational. It’s okay to like playing guitar even if you only know a few clumsy songs. You can read books and never finish them, bowl without ever scoring even halfway to perfect. We’re here to explore and play, and we cannot do that if we’re chasing perfection in everything we do.

No but why does Ollie keep posting pics and clips from months ago? (The foot massage one being from their China tour this June, and the pizza one from their Seattle stop last year)
#oh what i knew these were posted recently i didnt know they were that old#i agree as their friend i think ollie would be aware of what/how he's posting of them#possibly to stay on the public radar but then why would they be from so long ago#there's also the retirement video from igudesmanandjoo where they seemed fine at least and that had to be recent
