Weeknotes 28

not every thought needs to be immortalized on my website
been stamping down on my impulse to blather on my website about something stupid in a stupid way, as i already do on social media
where it’s FINE because it’s ephemeral there
but here it’s like. written into stone
after publishing my media recap i thought i would take a nice long break from writing anything because i was tired
but instead i am just filled with the vague desire to write and publish something
it seems the routine of weeknotes has primed me to feel strange to not be writing them
i suppose that’s good?
i’ve built a habit
anyway this post is kind of blathering on but i don’t feel like examining that too deeply at the moment
future me will do that

i am thinking about

rewatching 1) the social network; 2) the batman (2022)
buying an illustration course based on one (1) testimonial i saw in the wild
redesigning my website
how to use are.na vs curating on my own website
my current blog post drafts: this year’s creative goals; last year’s outtakes; a recap of my recap; xoxo & portland photos
how good my brain feels after sleeping a normal amount of time during a normal time of day
my upcoming bay area trip
this coffee
dim sum
how to draw cities and buildings
when to activate my four-day ffxiv free play period

the own-work woodshed and what the fuck are we doing anymore by kate wagner
max read’s review of filterworld by kyle chayka
henry’s website redesign
this is about 3d modeling but i liked the stuff about composition
an oral history of batman: the animated series and also the artbook full of character sheets and also the series writer’s bible (pdf)
the website of vasilis marmatakis, which 1) wow amazing posters, and 2) wowie incredible site where each project is literally just an iframe of a google images search of that project
god imagine being that powerful

idk if i should keep calling these weeknotes
but i’m kind of attached to the term now i’ve been using it long enough (incorrectly)
whatever who cares i suppose
