We have an aquarium at home.

Neon tetra have been living in it for five years (I'm not sure about fish name, but there is an international scientific — Paracheirodon innesi). My mother, as the original owner, handed over the feeding, lighting and work with the aquarium filter to me.

So, our aquarium lamp shines upward, and to reduce the brightness, there is foil on top. This morning I looked at the foil, checked the light in the aquarium with and without it. I straightened the foil, which was tightly pressed to the lamp. Now the lamp has a reflective tent, and there is more light in the aquarium.

i feel this music in my bones

I listen to the album "You'll Be Alright Kid" by Alex Warren, listening to every word, because I want to understand and hear every word of every song, despite the fact that English is not my native language.

(next in line "The Cosmic Selector Vol.1" from Lord Huron, and then again and again "You'll Be Alright Kid", and then one more time for "The Cosmic Selector Vol.1")

Warning: little mantis

(I love and am not afraid of mantises, but this friend did not sit still, so there are no good photos)

(I later released him back to the kennel where I got him from)

DO YOU SEE THE SAME AS ME?????

Birthday is going to be twice as awesome, WOOHOO

60 days will go by quickly // 60 дней пройдут быстро

---

just accidentally looked at it, confusing it with the "artist selection" tab. this will be the best birthday ever. because i wanted to find a playlist released on this day. and it found me itself.

---

просто случайно открыл его, перепутав со вкладкой «выбор исполнителя». это будет лучший день рождения. потому что я хотел найти плейлист, выпущенный в этот день. но он сам меня нашел.

He seemed sad to me, so I made him a stick...

What I do in the evenings // Чем я занимаюсь по вечерам

So, it's 10:30 pm and I've already cut out the edited pattern for the Kevin Day figure. The first attempt was a failure (I freaked out), breathe in, breathe out, the second one was more successful. Already in the morning, I made a normal one for the entire A4 sheet. Now I have two desktop friends.

Don't pay attention to the little crooked kevin. He was attempt number two, the bigger guy is the morning version. The takeaway: do everything when your brain is less stressed by life.

Итак, время 22:30 и я уже вырезал отредактированную развертку на фигурку Кевина Дэя. Первая попытка пошла крахом (я психанул), вдох-выдох, вторая более удачная. Уже утром, я сделал нормальную на весь лист формата А4. теперь у меня есть настольный друг в количестве двух штук.

Не обращайте внимания на маленького и кривого Кевина. Он был попыткой номер два, парень побольше утренняя версия. Вывд: делайте всё тогда, когда ваш мозг менее нагружен жизнью.

For my favorite Authoress

I'm subscribed to the blog of my favorite fan fiction writer. So, I'm the only, permanent, selfless supplier of art based on her works. Just recently I made a visualization for a scene I liked. I'VE BEEN TAKING UP THIS DRAWING FOR A WHOLE WEEK AND ONLY NOW HAVE I PICKED UP A PENCIL, AAAAAAAAAAA.

It's called simply the authoress mentioned the lack of fan content + a new chapter + the availability of free time for me to catch up with the plot.

And I understand the hints.

it's "War-w/out-Peace"

i have 375 pages to read for my literature class tomorrow. Oh well, oh well, it's going to be a long night.

[august-in-summer]

wait, take a minute

so i saw something on the internet.

what is lighter: a mile of iron or an ampere of fluff?

(that's a joke, by the way)

About home book treatment

i'm already so big, but i play doctor: i treated a book born in 1968 or 1971. We had already read the first two volumes of War and Peace at school, and i had the second two volumes in one book at home. But i didn't know that it was in such a deplorable state (the cover was falling off, one of the notebooks from which it was sewn was about to fall out). The book successfully underwent the operation, i'm waiting for the glue to dry.

i translate Russian memes because i'm afraid of fanfics

parrot: Let's go on a book binge so hard that we only dream of letters and don't sleep until sunrise.

cat: Are you idiot? cat: Let's go

i read assignments to prepare for an exam, and one of the texts for analysis sounds like this:

According to observations of modern researchers, the "nature" of reading changes in a person who receives basic information on the Internet. The skills of superficial, scanning reading develop, and the skill of attentive reading of a long text, which remains unused, disappears, like any ability that is not trained. The consciousness, accustomed to working with small pieces and separate fragments that are not connected with each other, does not cope well with large texts that require time and attention.

i read it again. and understood what jokes like: "i read the page, but forgot to comprehend it" are talking about.

---

читаю я значит задания для подготовки к экзамену, а один из текстов для анализа звучит так:

Согласно наблюдениям современных исследователей у человека, получающего основную информацию в Сети, меняется «природа» чтения. Развиваются навыки поверхностного, сканирующего чтения, а оставшийся без употребления навык внимательного чтения длинного текста исчезает, как любая способность, которую не тренируют. Сознание, привыкшее работать с мелкими кусочками и отдельными фрагментами, не связанными между собой, плохо справляется с большими текстами, требующими времени и внимания.

я прочёл его ещё раз. и понял, о чём говорят шутки типа: "я прочёл страницу, но забыл её осмыслить"

I signed up for the Immortal Regiment from school because I could and as a bonus I got -1 day for the summer work quarter. They had a hard time finding a uniform for me (they had to rip the bottom of the pants that had been sewn on before me, and sew the sleeves on the jacket). Tomorrow part of the class is being released halfway through classes for a rehearsal, I put my textbooks in my bag and I realize that my bag will be TOO light. Usually it weighs about 6 kilograms (13 pounds), and this one is barely a quarter of the usual weight. AND I WILL ONLY HAVE FOUR LESSONS, BUT IN FACT IT'S THREE, AHAHAHAHAHA --- я записался на Бессмертный полк от школы, потому что я мог и бонусом шёл -1 день для трудовой четверти на лето. С трудом нашли на меня форму (штанам пришлось распарывать подшитый до меня низ, а кителю подшивать рукава). Завтра часть класса освобождают с половины занятий для репетиции, кладу учебники в сумку, и понимаю, что моя сумка будет СЛИШКОМ легкой. Обычно она под 6 киллограмм (13 фунтов), а тут едва ли четверть обычного веса. И Я БУДУ ЗАНИМАТЬСЯ ТОЛЬКО ЧЕТЫРЕ УРОКА, НО НА ДЕЛЕ ТРИ, АХХАХАХАХХА

I strongly suspect that I am the only one in the family who knows how to use space rationally. BECAUSE I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO MAKES A TETRIS OUT OF THE FRIDGE, PLATES AND PAN, BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FOLD THE CONTENTS NORMALLY.

Well, honestly, I almost have a double registration for the kitchen and my desk. In the kitchen I am a cleaner, and at the desk I am a schoolboy. 2/10, I do not recommend, two points only for the ability to connect Spotify in the background

----

Я очень сильно подозреваю, что я единственный в семье, кто умеет рационально использовать пространство. ПОТОМУ ЧТО Я ЕДИНТВЕННЫЙ УСТРАИВАЮ ИЗ ХОЛОДИЛЬНИКА, ПЛАФОРОК И СКОВОРОДОК ТЕТРИС, ПОТОМУ ЧТО НИКТО НЕ МОЖЕТ СЛОЖИТЬ СОДЕРЖИВОЕ НОРМАЛЬНО.

ну честно, я чуть ли не имею двойную прописку на кухню и свой рабочий стол. На кухне я уборщик, а за столом школьник. 2/10, не рекомендую, два балла только за возможность подрубить Спотифай на фон

[august-in-summer]

Yeah, yeah, I'm 18 (nope).

(WHY DOES THIS COME UP BEFORE AN ARTICLE ABOUT A WRITER'S WORK??? WHAT WILL I SEE THERE???)

(stand down, there's a bit of foul language here)

(but ​​damn, if I'm not 18, should I get a terrible grade in literature???)
