Man, I know how that feels, actually... I always feel a lot less bogged down when I'm without easy internet access for a while, or without a smartphone at least.
Personally I usually fall back into the same rut before long afterwards, though. Hopefully you can keep it up! :)

I seem to have managed to salvage a model conversion I just about ruined, had to completely remove the head with a pair of plastic cutters and glue on a new one from a different kit, but I actually think it's an improvement. Ruined the original one by trying to change the horns and accidently making it unable to properly fit the pieces they're attached to into the open slots on the original head.

Given the amount of models I've ruined over the years with tinkering and cutting I'm happy this one's turning out alright.

INCREDIBLE! I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME.

I now have glassfibre internet.

After I ordered it 5 months ago, and 4 teams of mechanics before the one that came today didn't manage to get it installed.

The first team was under the impression that the glassfibre connection was already present in my house, which it wasn't. So he was like 'I am not equipped with a team that can dig open the street to pull the cable to your house, we'll send a new team'

The second team dug open the street, and found out that the cable had already been pulled up to my house, just not inside it. They were like 'we are not equipped to drill a hole in your wall and we are running late for our next appointment, bai'

The third team neatly drilled a hole in my wall, and pulled the cable inside, only to find out that said cable was just an empty shell, and the glassfibre itself still had to be blown in from the street's main connection point.
So he was like 'sorry man, I really hoped to be able to finally get you your glassfibre (it was already januari), but I am not equipped to dig open the street and blow fibre through the cable, I just drill holes'.

The fourth team called me to tell me they had to cancel the appointment, because freezing temperatures had made the ground too hard to work with.

The fifth team came today, and got the job done.

I mostly blame the provider for wrongfully informing the glassfibre mechanics that there was already a glassfibre connection in my house.
I blame the 2nd team, they could have seen the cable was just an empty shell had they not been in such a hurry, and ordered the right team for it.

I seem to have attracted the friendship of another guy! We spent an afternoon hanging out at his house, playing Mario Kart, shooting pellet guns, Yahtzee, and having lively conversation. What a nice day that was. He's very much a harsh juxtaposition to my own character, with him being a very stereotypical, perhaps "normal" man that is married with kids, a very shameless appreciation for sex, and a hobby with guns and power tools. His mind is geared towards extroversion, with a high value in honesty and fulfilling one's own desires without hesitation, very different from myself to say the least. That's what I gather from our first time hanging out together at least.

I'm actually somewhat scared of the deal, because he definitely threatens to drag me from my isolated world into the wider 'proletariat' world. Or rather, this is my chance to escape my isolated world into another one, but I can't say I'm not nervous, it obviously entails some trade-offs, with some unknown unknowns being present definitely... But perhaps I should shake things up just for the sake of shaking things up?
