゜・。。・゜☆ I have finally done it. I have achieved 1 (one) push-up. Delightful. I was actually stunned to discover this ability. I think I’ve been trying to do wall push-ups daily for about three weeks. And I did it! This is the motivation I need to keep exercising. It’s crazy to just be able to do something physically that you couldn’t before. I’m not sure what’s next though, because now that I’ve done ONE push-up, I am on top of the world.    ━━ I was inspired by SHINee’s new single ‘The Feeling’ to make a video sort of going through it, and I really enjoyed making it. However, the strict copyright claiming that happens when it comes to making content about music is a deterrent. I’m thinking about making some more videos like this, and if I really feel like it I will, but it makes sense to go in the direction of stuff that is easier to play around with, doesn’t have as much likilihood of getting DINGed by YouTube’s copyright system (and upheld by SM, lol), and is a bit more exciting for my audience. It was nice to see comments from shawols though, and of course I did have fun.  Right now I’m on section 4, unit 18 of Duolingo French. My streak is at day 1420. I know roughly 2670 lexemes. I’m approaching the halfway point, and I will not be deterred. I need to win at French.  ━━ Finally, a new Big Joel video that I edited came out today. It’s a good one. The Hannah Montana Movie: An Unhinged Masterpiece. |

゜・。。・゜☆ Today I worked on a couple of different art commissions (both cute, one involving a devil), and some video editing/animation stuff. I've been a little bit unwell the past few days (very, very mildly, but a persistent headache has bothered me).
I've also been enjoying updating this website way too much recently, so I'm BANNING myself from spending too much time on it so that I pay enough attention to other things. It's bizarre how much of a time-suck it can be. I remember feeling that way all the time when I was a kid and just loved finding things online all day. Powerful stuff.
 I bought a super cheap a3 (roughly) sized paper pad a while back, and it's just really nice to mess around and make some loose paintings. I've been doing them in stages while watching Disney Channel original movies. That's living baby! ━━ Here's some plans for this website that I wanna do when I have time: I gotta become a true Neocities user by making a shrine sooner or later, and why not one for The Guys of all time. SHINee world baby!!!! So far I am happy with "blonk", but I really want to expand on blonk. I love blonk. I've been thinking about an idea I'm calling "anime reviews for misandrists" - I've been watching a lot of My Hero Academia lately and I feel strongly that I must share my thoughts. Everyone wants to know my thoughts on Deku and the other guys. Many people are asking me to do this. Thousands of people are emailing me begging for my hateful and judgemental anime reviews. Who knows if I will do these things. Only time will tell. |

゜・。。・゜☆ Woah! Happy June~♡
It's so sunny today! I went to the park for a little while in order to collect some small pieces of footage for a video project I'm working on (top secret, but a scrapbook-y visual project), and I lay in the grass and read two chapters of The Handmaid's Tale. That book makes me wanna cry, it's so beautifully written, poetic, and so deeply horrible. Margaret Atwood is an intense freak genius. I've been taking my time with it because it's so emotionally demanding.
 (just about)━━ I also made a Duolingo custom avatar. That's me (she has so many French words in her):  |

゜・。。・゜☆ Shakshouka for breakfast, the world's personal delight for me today :-)

゜・。。・゜☆ Ok. First of all, I downloaded a bunch of sound effects from BOTW and I’m enjoying listening to them. Maybe I can add a little bit of sound to the website soon. Something unintrusive, but a little bit of flavour. I’m restricting myself from spending too much time on this site today, but I really wanted to add a self-updating ‘recent tracks’ thing on the homepage which pulls from the last.fm API, and I’m very pleased to have successfully cobbled something together from this forum user’s very useful post, adding my API key and tweaking the look of it so it just displays a super simple piece of text. I’d love to figure out how to do something similar to display a Duolingo streak or what I’m currently reading on Goodreads, but idk if I’ll be able to. Even if I don’t understand how they’re coded really, I’m happy I was able to successfully work an API request on here. Very cool! ━━ Now I gotta work hard so I can reward myself later with some more Zelda. I’m editing a video about r/dogfree right now!  |

゜・。。・゜☆ I just watched this video about tamagotchis and I'm going insane. I want the Mothra one and the BT21 one most of all, but they are all so fascinating. I started fantasising about making my own game on tamagotchi software. A beautiful dream 
━━ I have been diligently playing Tears of the Kingdom, and just like when I played BOTW it's igniting a huge, powerful urge to play through all the Zelda games (or MANY of them). So yesterday I spent a while playing the first one, The Legend of Zelda, and I had a really good time. There are just so many incredible, iconic design choices (who is that old woman and why is she smiling?) and it's so... cute!  |

゜・。。・゜☆ This morning I am drinking a jar of iced coffee and watching Scritti Politti's 1984 TOTP performance of 'Absolute', an unimpeachably perfect pop song. This is going in the sidebar as 'the best song in the world'. We all need this.
━━ Yesterday I woke up and wrote a to-do list that was ordered mostly by priority, but also arranged slightly to give me little "breaks" of more fun or easy things to do. It supercharged me and I made a few nice drawings and made sure to take a walk (I've been neglecting this lately and my knees have gotten more crackly as a result). |
