weeknotes #45
Last updated 2 months, 2 weeks ago
- hey! hi! hello!
- still trying to think of a fun little project to bring to life with code, and still coming up blank, but it worries me less now. when the idea comes i will latch upon it and not let go.
- went to see a horror movie called bring her back yesterday. acting is so amazing and funny, the mum and villain in the horror film is the mum in Paddington (as in the bear who eats marmalade sandwiches) and I would never have noticed if I hadn't read the letterboxd reviews for the film! i love horror films and i think i found this one a bit sad and harrowing (which is what we like to see), not sure i'd watch it again but "enjoyed" myself ha ha.
- i've been reading more of unmasking for life and even though it's lots of things i've thought about in discrete chunks it's helpful to see all the autism-related life things collated in one volume. i recommend it so far.
- on the more oopy-goopy feelings stuff, i am struggling a lot with "creative resistance" at the minute. writing these weeknotes is fine when i do it, but other writing has felt like i need to drag myself to the laptop, force myself to open the documents, wrench myself away from endless research, and so on and so forth. i know some people would say you should let yourself be in whatever season you're in (aka give up and left yourself scroll tiktok or whatever), but i'd prefer to write more even if i didn't end up posting my output, rather than thinking about writing or doing other less fun and less useful things with all my free time. i think at the minute i'm trying to work through the "don't wanna!" by being gentle with myself and doing small bursts, and there's other exercises i can try. was hoping writing this i'd have some epiphany about it, but no luck! i do think focusing less on perfect output has helped a lot — focus on quantity and the quality will appear — but still, you do actually have to create things to improve in creation lol.
- it's weird writing these so early in the day, not that anything usually ever happens on sundays for me, they are very much a rest day. i usually leave them till the evening, as what if something did happen?! but i am getting over myself, one step at a time.
- been a bit obsessed with this version of moon river.
- reminding myself that i haven't updated my ai page, and have to do that today!
- cooking up a summary/honestly just another iteration of my talk building better webs for gfsc and still working on my script about whether social media has to shit. i will finish something, one of these days! also for alphabet superset i'm thinking of writing a bit about the online safety act. o is the 15th letter of the alphabet, i just checked, so i'm hoping to write a post in this series at least once every fortnight, and i can wrap it up by the end of the year. we'll see!
- i've been eating nocellara olives, hot dogs, cereal made up of flakes, chips and everything bagels. i've been drinking whole milk, matcha lattes, pineapple and coconut smoothies, and small amounts of plain water.
- hope you had a great week. see you soon? 💟
