I discovered this morning that my sound card died. :-( It was 17 years old, lol. But I thought of it as my "good" sound card, as it's the only one I ever actually installed rather than just using what came with the computer. Meanwhile, the computer seems to have forgotten entirely about the soundcard that it came with; it doesn't even show up in the hardware list, though it's still physically in the computer. So I bought a very cheap little dongle that just has inputs for mic and headphones, so at least I can hear my old favorite casual games and listen to music if I really want to on that computer. And after 17 years, I guess the technology has improved so much that I hardly notice a difference between it and my fancy sound card! *sigh*

I took a chance on a new seed company that was pretty well reviewed on reddit because they had lots of varieties of something it's kind of hard to find seeds for (sorghum). I bought a ton of seeds for a bunch of different kinds of plants, planted at least fifty seeds, and so far, after six weeks, only two have come up! One of which (a pumpkin) randomly died a few days later, and the other of which is still -- just barely -- alive. I'd say it was user error, except that nearly every other seed I've planted from other sources is doing great. So that's a bummer. I was so excited about those seeds.

Also, I'm currently totally obsessed with this hauntingly beautiful song, and this artist. I already loved the songs he contributed to 86, then when I found out he did the AWESOME theme song for To Be Hero X, I went looking for the rest of his stuff. Turns out pretty much everything he does is amazing:
