✸ what even is a blog?

keep forgetting i have a blog now, i'm just not used to it! i've been journaling on and off since i was in elementary school but never on the internet because i'm shy on every plane of existence, so this is a sort of exercise to give myself backbone, which is actually one of my new years' resolutions (the other one is to bake new recipes btw).

anyway, in webdev news i made an art depot page to collect my favorite art pieces! i love calling it a «depot» because it reminds me of one of the coolest places i've ever visited – the depot boijmans van beuningen in rotterdam – where you get to see how a museum collection is stored & some interesting exhibitions. all the pieces are organized by material (bc of humidy reasons), except the paintings which are all stored together in chronological order. there is also a floor where you can see art restorers at work!! (can you tell i'm an avid baumgartner restoration watcher lmao)

✸ first post

hello hello! first captain's log! i'm still deciding what this blog will be like, but for now i'm just glad to a have a space to yap about the website instead of filling up my precious hobonichi weeks entries with html ramblings.

this mac os 8 inspired layout is based on what has been my tumblr theme for many years now, it feels nostalgic even though i've never used it on an actual computer. i can't help but feel like it's missing some decorations though, so that's on the to-do list!
also need to sort out the icons situation (the tumblr theme works with a single image and i want to understand how to change the icons individually), will this actually make me learn css instead of fumbling around like usual? probably not to be honest.
