I swear these shots are the two seconds right before a truly epic fight scene between us and the quarantine zombie horde.

Anyways we're married now.

Look out zombies.

Spent — oh my — a few hours hyperfocused on some different Node.js-ish GUI frameworks (Electron, Tauri, NW.js) and decided then bounced all the way over to Red-View for tiny and Glamorous Toolkit for expansive and I forgot why I started looking.

Look. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just say so.

web app: "You can customize styles!"

me: "Sweet!"

app: "Add your changes to a custom.css"

Me: "Where's your base stylesheet?"

app: "Why —"

Me: "Convert to SCSS, use that as my custom.css"

app: "But —"

Me: "FINE I'LL GET IT FROM DEV CONSOLE"

Bit of a snag in dental crown placement. Anesthetic wore off too quick. Ah well. I have more teeth again.

Also I heard something about "give him an obsidian crown." I didn't ask for clarification because nothing could match what my brain was coming up with.
