Raining and a little cold this morning in Palermo.
It’s good weather for soup.Do you like eating soup? What’s your favourite?
Do you eat chicken soup when you feel sick or depressed, like in the movies? 😉
There’s a weird company messaging me about their carbon materials startup that’s planning on using carbon capture technology for their raw materials. I think it’s a scam, and they are probably never going to be profitable. Isn’t the energy needed convert carbon dioxide to elemental carbon way too expensive? They better have some smooth talkers to convince investors to part with their money.
I finally got a new blender!! I’ve never been so excited idk why yea it’s weird. I waited until there was a good enough deal on it. It’s a Ninja. I can’t wait to blend sauces, curries, make milkshakes, frappuccinos with it.
A lot of people were posting on the daily chat about the first song they thought of when Trump got elected. I listened to [You’ll Be Back](https://youtu.be/nn5e7vq5bqk?si=rR-sp7WJilZahrms) from the Hamilton musical quite a bit after he won.
I caved and bought some Crocs. I wear slippers in the office, and one of the postdocs kept telling me they’re ugly (they are, and old as well). So I bought a cute pair of Crocs on sale. I also bought a pair for my husband.
Do you wear your shoes at your workplace? Especially in winter I don’t like my feet in warm shoes, so I wear slippers or go barefoot. My mom would kill me if she saw.
Paint companies have signature sets made from colors curated by different artists. Usually sets of 6-12. If you had a signature series, what colors would you put in it?
I think I would go with something like lemon yellow, bright green, pine/forest green, something like lilac or lavender, sky blue and fire engine red. I don’t know what you can paint with that, but that’s not my problem 😅
