/About pages answer “who are you?” while /Now pages answer “what are you up to?” With my /now page, I hope to share a glimpse into the mundane and nuance of my day-to-day and week-to-week.
Launching this month’s /now page on the 13th. Better late than never though!
On the hobby front…
- Pokemon Card Collecting – I have started to go down the rabbit hole of Pokemon cards, for better and for worse. It’s on my list to eventually write up a post or even make a bespoke page for my collection and my aspirations on where I want it to go for me. More on that someday…
- Journaling – I’ve slipped a lot this month. Not that it’s a bad thing, but I also do have a bit of self-shame when I don’t get even a single line written down on what happened that day. Something to always work on reconciling with myself on. Finally wrote an entry in last night (the 12th) and that felt very nice; released a lot of tension and anxiety building up.
- Gaming – Currently building out a list of what I expect to buy and play for the rest of the year:
- GTA VI is notably at the top of it, followed by the new Zelda.
- Control Resonant is on there as well, but I don’t know if I can start that until I actually finish Alan Wake 2 and play the first one. I know it’s not required, but something inside me is almost blocking me from doing so.
- There’s a few more games on the list, but comparatively I just think I know I won’t have the time to commit to them just yet, aside from WoW: Forever which is already mentally earmarked for the start of November for me. We’ll see!
- Movies – It really has been a great several weeks of movie releases lately.
- I saw You Can See Everything. It was so good that I actually saw it twice. It has ended up being the first “Recommended” post I’ve written for this blog. Read that here.
- I also went to see Clayface. I went in with low expectations (DC really isn’t a thing that has resonated with me, especially on the live-action front), but I was actually kind of blow away? What a great movie!
On the job front…
I wrote last month (and I think in a fleet) that my contract at That’s No Moon is ending soon (December). Currently have a few irons in the fire application and interview wise, and while I am not expecting much by keeping the bar on the floor, I am still being hopeful and optimistic that something nice will land sooner than later.
On the blog front…
I think I’ve done a decent job keeping up with writing Fleets when I have thoughts to share and just can’t bring myself to the WordPress editor to actually write a full on post. Glad I have this alternative, but definitely want to find better ways to keep up with my desires to write more. I know one day I’ll stop writing about these wants and instead just be in the groove of writing, but I think I’ll need a bit more of a jog in my day-to-day first. Slowly but surely.
Also, I’ve made a few updates to the front end theme, which I hope helps. Going back to the “Twenty-Ten” theme gives me the vibes I think I am looking for. We’ll see if aesthetics are enough of a motivator for me. I also think it’s fitting that I am using the Twenty-Ten theme when the first post on this blog was in 2010. Full circle.
If I write a Fleet and link it back to a post, that fleet shows up as additional thoughts. That’s fun, and I enjoy how things now start to really link themselves together across the blog.
