bullet journaling

I recently purchased this cute little set of four matching hobonichi weeks-style notebooks that I have begun to use as a bullet journal, beginning with the green one on the left.

four cute hobonichi weeks-style notebooks
aren’t they cute?

my bullet journaling is still pretty haphazard and clumsy, and I’ve already made quite a few mistakes in these pages, but that’s part of the learning process. my layouts here are still very touch-and-go but I have become more organized as a result of using this system! so there is that hehe

further deepening the obsession with fountain pens

I recently bought some Jinhao 82s, which I recently learned are knockoffs of the Sailor ProGear Slim, and I actually like them better than the Platinum Little Meteor I had bought previously, both in performance and in size. I have pretty small hands and these are just the right size. Very comfortable to write with, and easy to refill (AND THEY COME WITH CONVERTERS!!!!), they’re easily my new favorite pen. I’m also getting into mixing my inks to make custom colors which is fun!

setting up my home server

I recently set up a media server at home that’s running alpine linux! rn it’s just got all of my family’s music & movies & shows on it so we can access them easily, but it’s also our pi-hole. It’s a very rudimentary setup at the moment, but I intend to run it headless once I get openssh setup so I can shove it in my front closet cute yay

gaming with the homies

ever since I decided to stop playing ffxiv, I’ve been making a conscious effort to keep in touch with friends, so I’ve taken to playing some games with people who’ve asked me to play with them. pastel hearts right now I’m playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 with Amara, her son, and Egg; Baldur’s Gate 3 with Fiona, Egg, and Amara; and another Archipelago randomizer with Bee, Fiona, and Brie. I am once again playing Stardew Valley; hopefully this time I softened the checks & requirements enough to where I can actually complete it…;w; usually I go for a “complete the community center” requirement but this time I’m trying for grandpa’s evaluation as my release condition. we will see how it goes oAo

finishing unpacking

we moved into an apartment back in mid-March, and unpacking has been going very slowly. we’re also in the process of konmari-ing our belongings so we don’t have things we don’t use or like and that what we do own sparks joy. It’s slow going, but we’re working on it.

working on this website

I spent much of the last month and a half working on completely redoing this website’s layout and changing the structure of it to better suit my needs and aesthetic desires, and here it is! I’ll work on doing more blogging soon, because I’ve spent much of my spare time working on this these past two months >w<
