Yknow how people say they're putting things on the back burner, to mean that they're prioritizing other things? I've not only left this site on the back burner, but I've packed it into some tupperware and left it in the bottom of my freezer for, like, a while. Who cares, right. The reason for me abandoning my site (again) is because I haven't had a truly free weekend since August. The only reason I'm even updating this site is because I'm procrastinating an absolute behemoth of a project. As if that matters. Gonna try to fire off a bunch of stuff that's happened between now and the last time I was here:

• Splatoon 3 Grand Festival - Very fun, absolutely a 'you had to be there' thing. Although I did spend more time wandering around the hub world than actually playing.
• Bought a used copy of Splatoon 2 so I could play its story mode and DLC. Also fun.
• Participated in a 24-hour hackathon, which was fun, but also made me feel bad about how I don't know react or swift ui or posess any other desirable compsci skills. I teamed up with a friend to do digital forensics capture the flag stuff rather than put together a project to present to a judge. I was not prepared for how cold the building would become overnight. I'd do it again, but I'd bring advils and my own energy drinks, lol. And an extra jacket.
• Body slammed by awful awful project in my [I don't know if I should actually say what class this is] class. Unsustainable levels of stress. I can't get into the details of the project, but to convey the feeling: imagine a professor asked you to come up with a new number.
• Found out that most of the photos and videos from my old phone that I had backed up to this computer (about 4 years) got corrupted and it was so devastating that I just drove to the park and watched the fountain for forty minutes. This was at like 10pm and it was very cold. college is great
• On Monday (tomorrow) I am going to have to give a presentation to my class about this project and I truly don't think I've processed the reality of that statement

I mean it could be worse. I've been through worse. but damn dude

update: the presentation was literally fine

I abandoned my site for a week. Whoops! In my defense, I didn't know what day it was.

More truthfully, I got busy with a bunch of other stuff, then forgot what day it was. By the time I realized I hadn't updated the site (or touched it at all), it was Wednesday. I figured I could now try to juggle it along with other stuff I was doing, or just leave it on the backburner until the next Monday and try to get the rest of my life in order until then. To put it succintly, shit happens. The Earth keeps spinning.

Site update: I lost a lot of momentum. Part of it is on me, I'm in a zine and I had a due date I had to crunch for. I'd like to finish that before school starts, but I don't want to ignore other responsibilities just to do that. Something about needing to pace myself better.

In less negative news, I saw a handful of meteors last night.

New site to do list:

• need to make a couple more box styles
• need to change the name and style for main-box-style and side-nav-style
• probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.

btw, this blog thing isn't meant to always be a to-do list for the site, this is just a convenient place to put that kind of stuff. my goal this week is to see where I'm at with css, if I feel good there I'll move on to learning js. I'm also trying to cut energy drinks and it's hindering my productivity in a major way, lol.

Site to do list:

• When I first made the website I was just adding padding and margins anywhere. So I have to clean that up.
• I want to use CSS variables name all the colors that I use frequently so I don't have to keep looking up hex or rgb codes.
• I need to rename so much stuff, which includes going through all of my pages' html and fixing the names
• I also need to go through all of my pages' html to clean up the comments. groan

also i turn 22 today. like okay
