mid-january update
Jan. 13th, 2026 12:58 pmit's close enough to the middle of january, anyway.
let's have a look at how i'm coming along with those goals i posted about at the start of the year.
- websites: i'm down to the last 3 pages i need to write for this site, so we're making solid progress. haven't had time in the last few days to work on it, but i'm hoping to knock out at least 2 of the remaining pages this week.
- writing: uh, i haven't even looked at the endwalker fic. tbh i have little motivation for it right now, but maybe that'll turn around...? i have been writing every day though, just not fic.
- video games: i'm about 15 hours into pokémon scarlet, give or take; i have 4/8 badges, 3/5 titans, and 3/5 team star bases done. decent progress, in other words. i've been trying to play an hour or two a night; i've missed some nights but i'm making tangible forward motion and that's what matters. trails in the sky the 3rd is looking more like a february game at this rate, though.
overall, not bad. still some work to do, but it could be a lot worse tbh.
other things:
- i'm currently reading slow gods by claire north and while it's quite well written, it's by no means a quick read, so i've been plodding through it. i haven't been sleeping great, but i've been trying to read a little every night... i really could have read more last night considering it took me two hours to fall asleep, but at least i made some progress.
- not currently raiding in ffxiv on account of the hand stuff and i'm bummed about it, because the new savage fights look really fun. i've been having good hand days and bad hand days, and the unpredictability of the latter means that raiding is pretty much out right now. still been doing the weekend extreme farm, but that's it. in the meantime i've been powerleveling one of my alts for the sake of glamour, as one does...
that's about it for the moment.
