paper journaling versus e-journaling

It feels like every week or so, someone in The Daily Journal guild asks "Should I keep a paper journal or an electronic journal?" I decided to compile some thoughts: Benefits of physical journaling: Cool notebooks! Cool pens! Can easily draw/doodle/sketch in your journalUsing a physical journal (i...

shadowlands

My next plot to get myself downtown is well under way. Nah, not really, I just need to go to the dentist. Last year, I got a cavity filled, and I think the filling's come loose; I can feel a hole in my tooth same as before I got it filled. I mentioned it to my roommate last Monday (the 7th) and he...

annals of apartment life

12/1 They painted the hallways yesterday, and the smell drifted in here and it stank all evening. I wish they'd cut out the cosmetic stuff and fix the things around here that actually need fixing. One of the elevators has been broken since February. In September, with much fanfare, they announced t...

homegoing, homecoming

Home, the land of milk and honey and long walks in the woods and Mom's Thanksgiving dinner. It was a great Thanksgiving. Only the four of us were there; Dad (being Dad) wanted to invite some friends, but Mom said no. So it was just family time. I got to tell everyone about my latest work projects....

boxing day

We're moving office in early December, so we need to box up all our stuff for the move. Ordinarily I'd be like, what a pain. But I was really excited at the thought of needing to come in to the office for a day. I could take a couple hours extra to walk around downtown and check out the plaza, the p...

minedew valley

I decided to start a solo Minecraft game so I could experience the start of the game organically. Part of the reason I didn't enjoy our early play sessions is that newbie was a bit too on-the-ball. On the first in-game day, when HGR and I were faffing about the overworld and punching sheep, newbie w...

the great pig escape

Now that I've gotten used to Minecraft, I've decided it's decent. Exploration is more of a hassle than it should be—lack of a world map and fast travel will do that—but I'm getting the hang of it. I orient myself using the sun; I leave torch trails and build wayhouses and try to always carry enough ...

no gods, no kings, no groceries

After a good night of sleep, I decided to just cancel the grocery order lmao. Walmart contracts its grocery delivery out to Doordash, and there's some kind of communication/coordination issue between them. Like yesterday, Walmart prepped my order for delivery, made substitutions and everything, and ...

walmartgate 2020

So we've been getting groceries via curbside delivery for several months now, and it has been timely and reliable UNTIL YESTERDAY. Walmart, you had a good run. The delivery was scheduled for 4 to 5 pm. I headed out at 4 pm, which is not strictly necessary, but I figured I'd get in a walk before th...

the adventures of lowkey birthday special oc and pals

So far, the most fun I've had with Minecraft is with character creation. newbie and I both designed our own characters. His is a cross between a vtuber and his FFXIV character; mine is loosely based on Kaeya. HGR was clearly not about to design anything, so I went online and found him a skin titled ...
