Day Twenty-Five: I Have a New Fan

7/8/14, 11:59 PM PDT

So a few weeks ago, I found this posted on a wall in the public library.

Spoooooky.

Considering that every day after work, I have around an hour or two of down time, I decided I would try and figure this out. Even though I have absolutely zero experience with cryptography, I think I can figure this thing out since it just looks like a simple substitution cipher.

I drew out every individual character and tallied how frequently each character showed up as well as how often a character ended up at the beginning of the word. Then, I did a bit of research and found out which letters appear most commonly in English as well as which letters are most commonly found in the beginning of the word. Came up with this list after about 30 minutes of work.

Scribblings of a madman.

With those, I started filling in the letters that I was almost certain were correct. Here's how far I got before I left Panda Express.

It's like the worst game of hangman ever!

Yeaaaaah, still have a lot of work to do. I'll work on it over the next few days.

OH and I got a fan for my bed! It is SUCH a godsend because at nights, it effing BURNS in my bed.

Ignore the bear poster on my wall please.

Why is it clip on? Well, let me give you a little context on what my bed looks like.

Wow Michael, you have a really low ceiling...

And one more picture...

...Oh.

Yep, I have a loft bed. It's really nice, gives me a TON of room to work with since my massive mattress used to take up 70% of my room. I love it, but since heat rises, that means sometimes at night, it gets REALLY hot where I sleep.

Last night when I first used that electric fan? Best sleep I've had in months. Thank you, little fan.





RFotD: I'm tired again.

SGAT: Edited a bit of the summer movie I was supposed to finish last summer.
