I Feel Lighter Already

Another week that just flew by. Apart from the end-of-term & self-initiated projects presentations at the CLG last Wednesday, which were awesome and exciting, not a lot has happened. Which is a good thing! Usually, I never make any new year’s resolutions—beyond the default one not to do anything I don’t really love to do for long. But last year was so bad in terms of workload and general well-being that, for the first time since forever, a resolution was in order. It was not to take on every project, accept every challenge, and work every weekend. Its effects so far were okayish, but January wasn’t typical thanks to that common cold from hell. We’ll see how it works out from here.

Thus, last week, I published one post on Artifact Hunting at my Voidpunk blog, and that was it. Beyond that, only relaxing images and edits: a new album on Flickr with ten shots from the Yonghe Lama Temple in Beijing; my daily vintage-style squaries at Pixelfed; and new Instagram posts at betweendrafts and voidpunkverse.

For the Sunday funnies, please enjoy these littul kittons watching their favorite TV show, which is so cute that it makes up for the Twitter link. Then, there’s this real-time image from the Chinese spy balloon as it floats over Alabama; and an old acquaintance you might remember in the light of recent developments. Enjoy!
