june experiment
at the beginning of the month i decided to try out short form journaling each day, just for the hell of it. behold.
june 1st:
made curry over rice and vegetables (and spam) again rather successfully. took a walk; saw a sink next to the sidewalk. nice mild weather. wrote up an outline for a short story i've been working on. played starfox 64 and found it actually kind of challenging for the first time in a long time. listened to the One Last Wish album. happy pride.
june 2nd:
did some cleaning. wore a shirt i cut the sleeves off of (looks pretty good). sat in the sun for a few minutes like a lizard. watched btvs with my roommates. read a short story. started on the line art of my latest project. got some bad news (from the internet) and watched some wrestling.
june 3rd:
listened to Let It Enfold You (twice actually). started a new game file on Pokemon Sword on a whim. had a waffle house chicken sandwich. it was the first summer-hot day of june. i took it pretty easy.
june 4th:
had the house to myself in the morning. played more pokemon, struggling to name things and pick what i want on my team. made progress on Art Project and honed in more on an unrelated character design. revisited an old podcast. took a walk at night and revisited You're Gonna Miss It All which was a really nice combination.
june 5th:
finished a really good book of short stories (Things to Do When You're Goth in the Country). allowed time to get away from me. made pasta for dinner. watched btvs with The House, then watched wrestling with The Creature. took a late night shower.
june 6th:
started out the day kind of annoyed at ongoing House Issues. watched a video about a guy that used to be in a prison gang talking about his life. finalized(?) my team in pokemon sword. made a lot of progress on my art project; the next steps are figuring out a background and maybe doing shading. started reading a stupid fanfic on a whim; it sucks but i'm kind of inspired by it. still did not play dnd.
june 7th:
had a lot of time alone in the house. swept and mopped the (non-carpet) floors. read a bit in The Nineties by Chuck Klosterman. watched a lot of wrestling-- Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank.
june 8th:
the sparrows were dramatic today, and they emptied the feeder in like 24 hours. finished my art project and posted it, even. made curry again-- the korean bbq spam was a little too much for the dish, i think. my roommate gave me a key chain of a vintage spoon with a bird on it (the scarlet tanager). took a night walk.
june 9th:
did some writing after being blocked for a while. felt kinda shitty for like half the day. went down a rabbit hole of 2000s emo home videos on youtube. found a website that's kinda beancore (hairandflannel.com) in a search to understand the meaning of the term "butt rock." made a note to listen to a Pearl Jam record at some point.
june 10th:
still focused on writing; did a bit in the morning and some more at night. lamented that the new splatoon game is a switch 2 exclusive, then considered playing splat3 again because of the update. sunset walk. my (other) roommate gave me a little possum toy.
june 11th:
slightly weird roller coaster-ish emotions today. looked through the old gaming magazine i looked at all the time as a kid. messed around on gifcities.org. into A Fox in Space lately. wishing that lawn mowers were quieter.
june 12th:
happy birthday TOYPAJ. listened to that and a Slayer album, the latter with the onion. read more in the nineties book. drew/designed the antagonist of a short story i'm writing. walked late again; i like seeing tiny glimpses into peoples' houses through their windows, the little orange squares against the blue of the evening. another late night geocities deep dive and conversations about music.
june 13th:
played dnd again finally (mostly combat). it was rainy and really humid. mostly preoccupied with life stuff.
june 14th:
nearly at the end of the Sword playthrough. putting together a playlist of songs to show to the creature. discovered an ant colony literally outside the house. trying to fill up a page of the sketchbook, even if it's with garbage. no kings.
june 15th:
finished pokemon and started the post-game "story" but it's likely i won't go back to it and will instead play splatoon 3 to see what the update is about. got out my old ipod nano and copied the videos onto my computer; uploaded a bunch of them to youtube into a new playlist. wrote a post about this experience. great day.
june 16th:
roughly six hours of sleep (oops). played splatoon 3 for the first time in months, trying (with success, mostly) to actually quit playing when i get annoyed. wrote a couple songs intended to be songs by my emo band OCs. there were lots of fireflies outside tonight. made a very shitty 8 second long video.
june 17th:
technically "yesterday" i stayed up really late again, writing. watched Raw and wrote another song for the OCs. drew a little bit. having a good time, feeling a little crazy.
june 18th:
planned a new collaborative writing thing with my roommate. more emo OC song/poetry writing. was trying to practice one of the splatoon 3 ranked modes but got interrupted by a storm that was only really nasty for a few minutes. took a walk later in the night; some limbs down.
june 19th:
low energy kind of day. did some drawing and reading. listened to a lot of music with the onion, feeling better after that.
june 20th:
shopping day-- groceries seem to have taken most of my energy. listened/learned about lots of songs with heavy lyrical content and/or origins. went down a rabbit hole of morbid shit. watched Young Frankenstein after whining about movies for a while.
june 21st:
did the cleaning chores early in the day (still post-10 AM). went walking at the state park with my dad. 91 degrees at the hottest, but it was a good time. had arby's with my parents afterward. came home and watched my roommate play deltarune while i played melee.
june 22nd:
last few days have felt like a different "era" of the summer from the first couple weeks; unsure if that makes sense to anyone but myself. read a full chapter and a half in The Nineties (full chapter about the internet, very interesting). assisted with and enjoyed a meal made by roommate. melee kept freezing so i started playing pseudoregalia for the first time in almost a year.
june 23rd:
bad day.
june 24th:
still not great, but better i guess. playing a lot of pokemon puzzle league and watching spoony one's wrestling vlogs. made a nice dinner for myself.
june 25th:
had a Conversation, which went about well as i could've hoped. mild thunderstorm in the afternoon. stopping at the last stage of the puzzle league's hard mode, but after practicing in another mode i'm mildly improving. "we take those" kinda day.
june 26th:
have now cleared puzzle league's hard mode twice. for the second day in a row saw a black squirrel (i've taken to calling it "handsome critter") hanging out around the birdfeeder. watched lucha underground. went old school and made a CD of say hello to sunshine by downloading songs from youtube and burning them to a disc in itunes.
june 27th:
made another cd. played dnd. did minor research about being a (writing) editor. still watching a lot of spoony's wrestling videos-- ones i've not watched before because i mistakenly thought they wouldn't be interesting/funny. making a list of more music to download and amass.
june 28th:
chores early, then wwe event after. it was alright. roommate made sloppy joes and cinnamon rolls for us all. i got two games for $7 in the steam summer sale. crash bandicoot is both entertaining and the most bullshit thing i've ever played.
june 29th:
had the house to myself for a while. made some interesting spam sandwiches. played more crash bandicoot (still bs). managed to write 500 words in a short story. took a sunset walk.
june 30th:
tackled another Conversation, which was fine, actually. listened to fantastic planet by failure. trying to lay the groundwork for another scene in that story. burned a scary bitches CD. aside from some hitches, june was pretty good.
