Do you ever have weeks that just speed by in a blur and suddenly it’s Tuesday and you have no idea how you got there? That was my week. I dunno what I even did outside of work, chores, art, and uh... I made chili on Thursday? That was pretty good. Oh and today, as I was helping someone move, I accidentally drained the battery of my car... then I found out my friend also had a car breakdown problem ten minutes later. Crazy stuff.

Oh, also, I found a tape recorder at a secondhand store! Which was quite coincidental because only a couple of weeks ago did I consider looking for one, as I’m thinking about cosplaying Jonathan Sims of The Magnus Archives this Halloween. I don’t quite know if the recorder works yet... my sibling and I tried putting our mom’s old cassettes in it, but a high pitched metallic screaming is all that came out. A basic internet search suggests this is most likely a problem with the cassettes, a temperature/mold sensitive item, which were stored in a moist, dingy room for about 30+ years. That or it’s about to be “Statement of Celeste Etcetera regarding a strange tape recorder...”
