Members only A full 180 This is a fitting title, and good timing for the 180th post. I've missed a few (I think like 5 days), but I've been doing this now for ~6 months, which is pretty neat. There's no slowing now. It's my last night
Members only 179: Apathy I don't do very well with unstructured and unscheduled time, and winter break is kind of just a huge helping of that. It's never that bad, because it's fully temporary, but I always just kinda feel like shit during breaks. I also need the
Members only 178: Crimbo Limbo Well, I forgot yesterday's post... Yikes. I wasn't that busy, but I was super tired, so I fully just forgot. My bad. "Crimbo Limbo" is what Lego's official website calls the space between Christmas and New Years, which I genuinely found hilarious.
Members only 177: COLD It's cold outside. I got up at like 1 today (hell yeah), and then did very little for a while (ate food, sat on couch). I went on a short skate at like 5 to see if I could catch the sunset, but it was a little hazy
Members only 176: SNOWWW It snowed today!! Only a little bit, and it'll all be gone in a day or two, but hey, at least it snowed once while I was here for break, I honestly expected to not see any snow at all. I did try to skate in it, and
Members only 175: "We don't vacation, we travel" The title is a quote from my brother today, about the way that my family spends our time off, and honestly, he's right. He's talking about a trip my mom and I are taking over spring break, where we're flying into Amsterdam, staying for
174: Happy Cwimmis! I'm going to leave this one super short, because it's cwimmis, and also because it's 2:45 AM as I write this (absolutely cooked sleep schedule). Today was great. Other than the fact that there's no snow 😭 it was a pretty lore-accurate
Members only 173: Happy Crimmis eve! Today was what I'm going to call a "lore accurate" christmas eve. I do have to specify that I mean "lore" in the American nuclear-family family-togetherness style, not in the biblical style, and then I should probably explain the term for those who aren&
Members only 172: Silksong all done I finally beat Silksong! I have spent probably something to the tune of 24 hours on the final few bosses in that game over the last couple weeks, but I finally beat Act 3 last night, and I'm calling it good. I finished with 63% in just under
Members only 171: Some Headwind, huh? Today was pretty good. I went to bed last night at genuinely 4 AM, because I fully cannot sleep recently, but so it goes I guess. I'm writing this at 2:30AM, and I'm not really tired right now either, so I don't really
Members only 170: A little adventure Today was another very empty (but relaxing) day of break. I got up at like 1, ate food, worked on my Minecraft server (the lobby now has a really nice hub-like space), ate dinner at my grandma's, and then burned time until like 10:30, when I went
169: A degree in Minecraft Computer Science I spent much of today working on my Minecraft server, which has been running in the basement of my parents' house for going on like 4 years now, because I felt it deserved some serious upgrades. To keep it simple, because it took me a solid 6 hours of
Members only 168: Car-centric infrastructure I rode my electric skateboard ~40 minutes today (one way), to get to the University of Utah's surplus and salvage division (GOATED, more on them later), and it was on the way over there that I realized just how different Salt Lake and SLO really are, infrastructure-wise. I
Members only 167: Silksong Moment I spent something like 6 hours in the last day working on ONE boss fight in Silksong. I have a weird love-hate relationship with games like that (Silksong, Hollow Knight, Celeste), because in the moment I'll absolutely despise the boss and enemies that I have to fight over
166: Owie. But not as bad as I thought. I had my wisdom teeth removed this morning, and it hurts, but it was nowhere near as bad as I thought. This was my first actual surgery (in working memory, there was one when I was like 2 months old, but I don't count it), and it wasn&
164: Home, and a whoopsie I forgot to make my post last night, I had been traveling, got home, ate, plugged my stuff in, and just zonked out. Whoops. The travel was all just fine, getting from Cal Poly to the airport is pretty easy, and I didn't have any issues on my
Members only 163: No comets for me I was going to go try to catch the Geminids meteor shower tonight, but it's all foggy outside, so I won't get to ☹️
Members only 162: Starting at 2 I'm starting to write this one at 2AM. I should definitely be asleep, but I'm not. My final this morning went exactly as planned; I woke up at like 9:45, rolled into the final 20 mins later, gave each question a solid educated guess, and
Members only 161: Variations on a theme It's 12:38 AM, I'm not really tired, and I have a headache. Things are going well. I did have a pretty good day today though, I got up at like noon (because I was gonna get up at 10 but why would I do that
Members only 160: Why must it be so hard? It's currently 1:40AM, and I can't sleep. To be fair, I didn't realize I had forgotten my daily post until after I had gotten back up to continue work on my skateboard, so it's a good thing I did, but I
Members only 159: The last ride I went on a bike ride today, and I genuinely think it was my first one since late September, which is a little sad, but at least I got back out there. I rode up Cerro San Luis, but I decided to do so in the dark, which was fun,
158: Monitor 😢 I think my monitor has given up the ghost, but only the part that I use the most. I used my monitor a little bit this morning before my 1-3 final, went to the 1-3 final, actually did pretty well despite not studying at all, and then when I got
Members only 157: Old Man shit I woke up today with a horrible pain in my neck, just from sleeping on it funny, but it was genuinely the worst. It made it difficult to get out of bed (hurt like hell to even sit up), so I just went back to sleep. I wasn't
156: I'ss alright Today was chill. It was essentially just Wind Power, which was fun, and then gaming. Wind power was like 11-3:30, and it was only really the main crew, but it was good, and we got some good stuff done. I modeled the controls and load boxes, so I can
