Some days you are just HAPPY, and on those days you may walk around seeing everybody as happy too.

Self-serving Selfless Service
That is confusing! Maybe YOU can wrap your head around the possibility and even explain in the comments: how does the service benefit the one who serves?
In other news, ahhh, music. Currently playing the newest Yemi Alade album for the first time, and she always delivers. She is really super-good at her job, embodying and performing, making a success of productifying, the whole Mama Africa thing. "Rebel Queen" is the album name, which in fact captures the mood with some women these days, this year, I think.
I got rhythm, I got music, ...I am happy. You know what else is wonderful? All the usual - food, the weather, finding nice games online for my phone/tablet, appreciating that the decades-old OLPC dream (One Laptop Per Child - and the $100 dollar laptop) is as of 2024/2025 practically a reality.
I'll be back soon ;-)

Groggy
It's 7:30ish in the morning, I've been awake since around midnight. Now I feel like I'm the sleepiest I've ever been. It was a wonderful night - it rained throughout and I got all my thinking done, lying in bed in the dark (or what 21st century people call dark which is not altogether dark, many-a-time.) I got all that thinking done (about what - you ask - mostly domestic matters, i.e. my self and people close to me, real and imagined family, stuff like that.) I laughed a few times, it was that productive.
Back soon.

The best rice
Like a white T-shirt, like a skeleton, the best rice is like a vehicle bearing gifts or at least bearing passengers.

It's Easter, and I'm feeling blessed to eat rice that has activities going on in every bite. Even just chunky onions are delight enough.
Jesus taught us to pray: "Give us this day our daily bread" rice, garri, and so on. The right garri stands alone very well, in my opinion. Don't put too many clothes on garri. Or maybe do - milk, sugar, groundnut, ...

Getting to know everybody
Studying personalities can be super-addictive. Well, studying studies of personalities, for example: MBTI, at 16personalities.com or with comedian-vlogger Frank James.
What's your type / what does that mean to you?
My latest test result (from last night) is INFP-A.
My most frequent test result over the years is INTP.

Cohort
At this rate, when I finally have children, they'll have to call me grandma - abi? See gray hair everywhere :-)
In other news, grandma died, like one year ago. To me she was still young, because Elizah-London lived to ninety-six so I thought twelve more years was doable, easily; also her own mother had just recently died at well over 100. Next-level :-)

| Verdant Plain, mountain (also named Flooy Lily Wura) created in dream.ai |
Background: It would take too long to explain, so like a good writer I'll just not? Just kidding.
I had this brand new idea to (some day, use markers/crayons or paint to try to and learn to or lead people to) create illustrations that compose and represent astrological information using this scheme - The Signs As Forces Of Nature. I've been drawing/painting/conjuring several in my mind since yesterday.
This very special picture is my first that I can physically-pictorially post/share, and I didn't have to wait to create her because I asked a computer to do it, in a flash. It represents a person who is Libra primarily, with abundant earth and water features as well, so I thought of beautiful and lush plains and maybe a patch of mountain, and then I wrote "Verdant Plain, mountain" in dream.AI and in about zero time I had this picture, which I love.
It is good to remember that there are a jabazillion real pictures already (examples: beautiful and lush plains and maybe a patch of mountain) that are a gazillion times better, technically. But I'm amazed by and in love with this AI-generated one as well.

My Gazpacho Bar
Do you have access to joyously fresh tomatoes?
Do you love tomato juice too? (And can never seem to find it when you crave it?)
Gazpacho is such an intriguing word actually. Good food that anybody can make - no cooking involved.

popular like the mobile phone
Mass interest in blogging peaked in 2009, as seen if you gauge interest in searches for the word "blog" over time.
'Salience' is not 'importance', and so for instance, there have been more searches for the word "blog" than for the word "laptop" over the last 20ish years, particularly between 2004 and 2017.
In minor news, from the 2017-to-today section of the chart, it seems the interest in laptops increased lately. Why would there be growing searches for "laptops" now? Oh I see, 2020 pandemic lockdowns must have caused the great jump.
Someone was telling me about how it's all about the mobile phone, like, nobody uses laptops. Uh, somebody uses laptops. ( I actually was thinking today that I want laptops ohhh. Who else wants? )

Salience is not importance. In fact, the more important things are often boring and a little ignored unfortunately -- yesteryear's news.
I had forgotten about some of my littler short stories written out on this blog - ooopsies.- as opposed to stories composed specially for more literary-scholarly publication. I'm not saying this short piece "Efa and Adamooh" about Adam/Eve/temptation is important + you have to watch the video about the marshmellow test (hehe and lolol), I'm just saying I saw it again today and liked it.

We could have died
A whole epidemic that we just survived.
It was not just the deaths, which to some extent are binary - yes or no -
but the sickness which for some people was/is like really bad in different ways,
and who knows what else we've been through AND may we never have to go through again.
Three years/three-and-a-half-plus-change. Coro. Covid. Rubbish.
In other news, I'm enjoying this persistent rain.
