now

Writing

  • not much writing this week as I’ve been away for a couple days and then needed to recover but I did edit two journalling projects on paper, need to put the edits in my documents and then look for beta readers
  • Wrote some poetry again! So happy that softest of voices is returning

Reading

  • Attention Seeker by Darcy Michael (audiobook). It's just so so so good!
  • Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto (audiobook). The narration of this one is so stellar!

Finished reading

  • Heather Fawcett - Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐︎ (posted a review on my Mastodon account)

Creating

  • I‘m making a cover for my switch in cotton, adding the lid from a storage thingie as screen protector.

Watching

  • Maul: Shadow Lord. Such slow storytelling but I like how it shows the ruthlessness of both Maul and the empire.
  • Rooster. A random click on HBO, but boy, it is so much fun to watch!
  • And started to rewatch The Mandalorian as movie prep.

Watched

  • Scrubs! So wonderful to see characters I've loved for years again. Every episode was a delight.

Analog tools

  • V5 and V7 pilot pens, most of them refillable
  • A Rhodia nr 12 notepad for lists and quick scribbles. Most of the pages will be torn out and tossed when I'm done with the lists/notes. When I'm out of empty pages, I will copy the lists left to a new notepad. This method has worked for me for years, and I'm so glad to finally use it again.
  • A softcover notebook in passport size. I bought it to use in my Traveller's notebook cover but I like it solo :)
  • A Midori monthly planner that I bought for a few euros to experiment with. I love it. The colour coding makes the pages a joy to look at.
  • A pencil case filled with all sorts of random goodies.

Digital tools

  • an iPhone 15
  • a MacBook Air m1 running the Asahi Fedora remix. Only booted in Mac twice since Installing it last month. Perfect.
  • an early 2014 MacBook running Linux Mint XFCE (and soon: Fedora), this one lives in the living room, to be used for writing and watching things while doing jigsaws (it chokes on any bigger tasks)
  • an iPad mini, mostly for Procreate and games
  • a Sandisk Clipjam MP3 player for my mp3 collection

Blog updates

  • consolidated my blogs in this one because maintaining multiple blogs is just too much 😀 am using status.lol as a mini blog tho
  • Added an interests page

Other random things

  • have started at a gym, doing both fitness and group lessons. The latter is a surprise, I’m not a group person but I’m enjoying this.
  • I’ve changed out my wardrobe to fully spring/summer. Seeing all the colour in my wardrobe makes me wonder why I don’t have bright colourful clothes for winter 😀

Things to consider adding next time

  • Links I love (and then put them in my raindrop with a link to that list here)
  • new page(s) on things I use: what's in my bag, what's in my planner bag, what’s in my pencil case
  • a media page with all the things I’ve posted here earlier and tossed in the updating process
  • move my website to do list over here because I forget to check it)

This is a now page. It was so much fun to create, why don’t you make one too?
