— reflecting
I finished my journal on 04/17 and was able to crack open a brand new one on the 18th. it was fun looking back at the first entry I wrote back in January of 2022.
big theme this week in the journal was the idea around action and doing. I found myself talking a lot about how to feel better in a more functional sense. I also noticed today that while my screen time was lower this week than in previous weeks... I still feel like I could have done more this week? I don't feel like I achieved a lot and I think that it comes down to time management as well as.... enjoying what I'm doing. spending time more meaningfully working on stuff I want to work on.

— enjoying
surprisingly watched a lot of movies this week (most of which were crammed into the last 48 hours... so in a short list:
 suzume is on netflix now, so I made my parents watch it with me, part two of rebel moon came out so we watched that too; we watched something else on netflix that escapes me right now, and we went to the theaters to watch the ministry of ungentlemanly warfare which was fun. 

movies and I have a weird relationship where I've never really watched a lot of movies but I want to watch more. I just get all weird and resistant about going to the movies or sitting down to watch them... but when I do I usually have a lot of fun. I really like going to the theater to watch a movie but I don't make a lot of time for it. gyahhhh something to explore later I guess... I feel like there could be a lot to dig into with this idea but that is for someother time.

picked up octopath traveler a little bit the other day. considering getting fire elblem engage for $20 since its on sale. also considering getting early access to hades ii since the screenshots look so good already.
been also thinking about playing fallout new vegas again... I wanna play all the dlc again especially old world blues and dead money..

— obsessing
writing and html... I was working on the goals masterdoc the other night and a ton of ideas all clicked into place in what I want to make next for the blog :) I have a couple different ideas for a revamped intro post and making the goals doc a little cooler..

— recommending
getting out of the house :') I went to the coffeshop and remembered how much cool stufff was in the world... I have a pretty bad tendency to get stuck in homebody mode where I don't wanna go out and do things even though said things are super good for me. 

also wanna recommend the She's a Beast newsletter as well as the book club for Living the Artist's Way. I follow both newsletters: I love Casey's perfect blend of information and wit in She's a Beast and Cody's explanation of artist struggles and success always reminds me why I love being a creative :)

there's this really lovely little coffeeshop near work that I absolutely adore with my whole heart. The owner is a really cool dude and told me about a secret menu item that I pretty much ask for every time I go in. it's just a london fog but the earl grey is subsituted for matcha, in a twist the owner called a "tokyo fog." the coffeeshop itself has a really geeky atmosphere and nice music, plus its really bright due to their location and windows. I usually order the tokyo fog and a croissant.
mom also made pecan brownies again and man.... I really love pecan brownies

review

I've been wanting to create a more commentary focused section for random week tidbits. sometimes this kinda stuff doesn't fit as nicely into the report section and I like to keep recap as a more bullet point style highlight focus.. 


this week felt so long for no reason... I really can't remember that many highlights honestly

had the thought to call this r&r: rest and relaxation? revisiting and reading? need to tie it into the report, recap and ??? theme I have going on. it'll come to me eventually.... (a moment later) READING AND REVIEW hahaha.... 

for now it'll stay as just reviewing but maybe I'll upgrade it when I start to be more intentional about my reading practice again.
