cpolkI'm glad to have an excuse to come back to this style of online socializing.
I'm going to have a look around and figure out how I want to tweak various access filters, but for now I'm going to keep it simple and get more complicated later.
But for now, hello! I'm glad you are here! I hope to get up to nonsense very soon.
I used to write a lot of longer posts on this style of platform back in the day. I'm not sure how often I will do that now.
I'm aiming to be interesting, if brief, and to drop in here pretty regularly.
If you would like to drop a comment to say hello, please do! and look around at any other commenters you see and say hello to them too.
if you don't know what to say, I have a few things you could tell me:
what is a subject of interest you would like to start learning more about?
what music have you had on repeat lately?
if you cook, what's something you're cooking now that the seasons are shifted?
what do you feel like reading, described with tropes and vibes?
what is the most fascinating activity you've been doing lately?
what is your favorite hot beverage recipe of the moment?
what are you making/building/creating/designing right now?
I have a question for those of you who have been on DW more regularly: are there communities you are fond of that could be of interest? my tastes are wide ranging so that could be anything, honestly.

on 2022-10-27 06:52 pm (UTC)I have revived my duolingo habit, this time to learn French. I think it's going better because mr. cee speaks french, so I can ask him how to pronounce things and why this rule makes sense. and I learned enough that when I was a few minutes away from landing in Montreal international, I had cobbled together enough of my lessons so I could say
je desolee, je parles pas Français. J'etudiant français avec Duolingo; je suis un débutante.
which is actually a HECK of a lot more fluent than I imagined! I certainly couldn't figure out on the fly how to say that in Finnish...
unfortunately, not a single person spoke French anywhere in the airport while I was racing to make my connection to Newark.

Bonjour! Je parle seulement un petit peu de français! J'aime beaucoup la belle langue. J'aime aussi les livres!
