- train movies (when you watch a movie and you're on a train)
✶ building a digital hedge maze
haven't updated the site in a while because i've been working on a huge project and it will take at least a month for it to be complete enough to have it up and running. it's a sort of commonplace book/zettelkasten/personal wiki, a digital garden if you will, and it's based on what i use on obsidian (which is also incomplete agh!) + my tumblr tag system, so i have a lot of information to go through and collect and read etc. etc., which to be fair are all activities i love doing, i'm just impatient.
i've been listening to i bet on losing dogs by mitski on loop and my mind right now is just a mix of my baby my baby you're my baby, janky html/css code and daredevil (seriously thinking about making a matt murdock shrine btw)… so i cannot for the life of me think of anything else to write here, enjoy some mundane moments!
✶ mundane updates
- had a nice walk in the sun after so many cloudy days
- saw time change from 2 am to 3 am (nothing is real!)
- rewatched mizumono with c for the fourth time… when will the ending change…
✶ 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)
✶ mundane updates
- prepared package for my oldest penpal, posting it tomorrow!
- continued studying sql, want to put notes on the site soon
- spring has officially arrived but my nose is still always cold
✶ 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.
✶ mundane updates
- saw boston marriage at the local theater and it was great!! literally two chaotic lesbians being messy for 90 minutes, highly recommend
- baked bagels for the first time! recipe here
- trees are literally blossoming… wow…
