for da ask game, cactus n orchid
cactus ⇢ something you’re currently learning (about)?
i feel kind of insane tho like as soon as you presented me with this ask whatever it is i've been meaning to study recently fell out of my brain like goop. where did it go. my classes this semester are introductory physics (did that in high school; probably will not learn anything new) and chemical analysis (will probably learn smth new; was doing very well in it back in 2020 before classes all went online and my grades tanked from 0 attendance), but they don't start for two weeks so that's not ~quite~ current.
hmm. something that i have been kind of latently absorbing at work is probably "what counts as common knowledge" because i fear my time on the internet and niche interests has simply given me a very eclectic array of knowledge, such as the fact that There Are People Who Died In Space back in the 70s (some russian cosmonauts whose rocket hatch failed to close properly when they were detaching from their space station) or the existence of excel formulas that will add numbers for you.
the other day when coding my tumblr blog viewer tho i learned that tumblr's api is kind of overcomplicated nonsense that also doesn't work or gives seemingly incomplete responses sometimes! i solved most of their stupid puzzles but god at what cost.
orchid ⇢ what’s a song you consider to be perfect?
it's funny that you should ask this question bc a couple weeks(?) ago i was going through the songs i shazamed while in taiwan and there was one that i feel like You might like called 日曜日のラブレター.
but as for a song i would consider to be perfect. hmmm. a while back i asked my sister what she liked abt the songs i will occasionally recommend to her, and she said she liked that they tend to have very detailed audio texture (or something to that effect) and prominent melodies. i think the best example of this would probably be Paprika, by Japanese Breakfast!
ask game :D
