my progress this year

journaling

I'm about halfway through my first thicc journal (more of a commonplace book really) and my first bullet journal, both of which were started in June of this year. I picked up the journaling habit (again) back in March, so I have two other journals I finished before this one (both A5 size), but this is my first thick journal of this style (it's square with grid pages). I'm really enjoying writing again -- I thought I wouldn't have much of anything to write about, but being able to go back and look at how I was feeling a week or a month ago has proved really useful for my own well-being and mental health, so I'm very happy with where I am on this habit currently.

retrospring eos

a bunch of people have been hosting their own instances of retrospring in preparation for next year's end-of-service for the site, and I've joined a couple in preparation and to go ahead and reserve my username in case one of them takes off with my friends. I'm currently on both melospring and fragsturztaube in addition to retrospring (until it's end of service), so if you end up joining, give me a follow and I'll follow you back!

fountain pens

rip to ur lid, lil homie

I recently brought my bujo to bed to jot down some stuff before I fell asleep and knocked it (and my sparkly pink jinhao fountain pen) off the nightstand in my sleep and broke the lid of my sparkly pink jinhao ;w;

Finally got the other two pens from the Sanrio x Platinum Little Meteor crossover (blue for cinnamoroll, purple for hello kitty) along with some nice lake blue-colored ink to go in the cinnamoroll blue one. (I'm currently using the first bottle of ink I ever bought, PenBBS 223 - Chongqing City Blue, in the hello kitty purple).

this website

I've been working on converting this website over to jekyll, which if you're reading this means I've been successful! I'm having a much easier time with it as opposed to zola. It's written in ruby as opposed to rust, which I have more experience with, and seems to be better documented; at least, for a beginner like me it is. :'3

gaming

I bought Fields of Mistria and have been playing a ton of that and Stardew Valley. Playing it for our archipelago games reignited my interest in the game, so I'm back on my modded bullshit uwu

I'm still playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 with Amara and Egg; and also Baldur's Gate 3 with Fiona, Egg, and Amara. I stopped my solo playthru of BG3 so I could experience the story with everyone, because that's been more fun for me.

home server

I decapitated the server I built earlier this year and set it up inside of my front closet, but I uh...set something up improperly and have to login for any of my daemons to startup...

So I'll have to drag it out and re-setup the peripherals so I can fix that flub.

I already miss my pihole.
