Speaking of funny classics; I started casually reading the Sherlock Holmes stories out of curiosity and they're jam-packed with so much pure golden sass it's insane

YES I LOVE THOSE! And yes they are! I got fancy covered ones, but they don't match the plane covered ones now.

That's great! Glad to hear it! I'm ... ever so tempted to continue my trend of getting the Barnes and Noble editions with the fancy covers.

oh, okay, I understand now. Whether she's viewing as a guest or a member, I still find it creepy that she's stalking you online. It's just not something people should do, but :/. If I had to guess the odds, I'd bet she has a guest account, not a registered member one. Either way, I'm not sure if I should be weirded out by the fact a parent stalks their child online or not. I've always known she's a nosy person - she has my brother's bank account login info, and checks his account regularly, and she is the type that when the house next door to her was for sale, she went over there and looked in the windows. When I called her on her birthday, she could barely pay attention to the call because she was too busy watching to see what the guy who'd been hired to detail her car/power wash her house for her birthday was doing. I mean my life for the most part is an open book, and the topic she was hinting around I would've shared with her eventually, but I just wasn't ready to share it just yet.

Not according to my husband last week. In fact, during one of the little arguments, I actually said, "I know you think I'm incapable of thinking for myself, BUT..." oof. Once I said that, it pretty much shut down the argument, and opened the door to us having rational conversations about how refinancing the house was MY idea and not my mom's (I'd been bringing up the idea since about May, but that particular week my mom had actually done so with her house, and I was using some of her experiences with it to strengthen my argument, which turned into "Your mom is filling your head and needs to butt out of our finances" I get the irony of his point after my last post literally about her messing with my brother's finances, but in this case it was just a coincidence that she refinanced when I had been considering doing so on my own for 5 months.

Or at least a collection that looks all pretty when they're displayed next to each other. I have a bunch of Vonneguts from a book series that has a similar aesthetic for each cover that I like a lot.

I have Count of Monte Cristo, Norse Mythology, Irish Folk Tales, Dracula, and Frankenstein with very similar fancy book cover aesthetics. These are my fancy books.

Anyone else here work in video stuff? I'm rotoscoping right now and it's just AGONIZING. The actor did a few hand flourishes right in front of the thing I'm supposed to be roto-ing, too, so it's just awful. I've finished a few passes and now I'm waiting on After Effects to do a content-aware fill but I suspect that it will fail to solve all of my problems. Seems to have trouble with hard edges and straight lines? Which I feel is exactly what it SHOULDN'T have trouble with?
To anyone who doesn't work in video stuff and has no idea what im saying: Visual effects hard. Sometimes people make it harder because they don't know how hard it is.

... I found out one of my favorite authors is dying (as in, has gotten the 6 months to live notice). The author of the series I've had a special interest in off and on for 6 years. I'm sad.

Sleep, tired. How is everyone else? Alright. I finished all my work for the week so I'm making a ****post about arc 1, since I'm just about done reading it. There's this crazy good Netflix show called I Think You Should Leave and I want to force more people to watch it. I'm not a cool animator like all the other adult warrior cats fans, but I have my other video-related skills to fall back on.
