I can barely bring myself to go through my old journals. Just 100% cringe. Sometimes I think about my nieces and nephews and feel so bad for them that they still have to figure out their whole lives. I mean I guess I do too but not like that. Very glad to be past that early adulthood stage of my life lol

I love the phrase "psychological archaeology" and the uncanny feeling of our past self seeming a little like a stranger. Sometimes I look back at my old journals and wonder who the hell that melodramatic person was haha. Everything felt SO BIG.

It's definitely hard not to reread them and think "omg what are you doing?" But I guess we only know better know because we didn't then!

I've made a shrine (kind of!) for Getdown Services. Also reworked my Tomodachi Life page a bit.

Honestly making the shrine was really fun and I might make some more. But also that might mean restructuring the website a little bit. idk, we'll figure it out!

You're so lucky to be a CD person for the new Olivia Rodrigo. Vinyl and cassettes got an earlier version of the album before she made some substantial changes and the experience is ruining it for me.

@distillation Oh I had no idea that was the case for other formats! I'm sorry, that's seriously rubbish. Seems like she should reissue it with the proper versions and let people exchange them or something.

A bunch of stuff today - new blog post, new gig report, archery progress update, Tomodachi Life gossip, and some other nonsense too.

Archery seems soo cool! I'd always wanted to but I don't think I like compound bows

Never tried compound, I've only ever shot recurve! I would like to try longbow some day but I don't think I'm strong enough yet
Thanks! I really enjoyed reading your blog too, especially your recent post about the structure and mechanics of writing. Made me want to read that book too.
