2024 ┋ 2025 ┋ wall of thought ┋ ideas

Been trying to write more or less consistently on my blog. Here you'll find a list of posts for this year. My goal is 4 posts per month at the least. Other than that, I'm writing a "wall of thought" here on listography for random thoughts that may be too long for status café and that I wanna save. I also have a paper commonplace book.

• ↳ 🍃 playing pixel cat's end with this forest walk in the background, or maybe adventure time's the hard easy. it's sunday and gray outside. the cats are all asleep, and so is the city outside. life is slow.
• ↳ 🍃 it's the middle of the week, and the breeze coming in from the windows is fresh and cool. in the distance, the sounds of the city: the whistle from the sweets seller, the drill in some construction site, honking and little birds flying by. i'm sad and reading a book in bed. there's no work to be done today.
• ↳ 🍃 the sun is setting, I'm alone at home. on the tv, a nobody playlist is playing. I don't have work for the next two days. I write away at the blog.

It's hard most of days to do basic things (hello mental illness). I end up feeling like a failure, frustrated with myself, useless, like I did nothing all day but stare at a computer screen. I'm writing these down so I don't forget that some quick 25min pomos can save an entire day.

✦⸻ daily pomos to feel better

• reading a book/zine
• doing little chores around the house
• moving my body (jogging, dancing, biking, stretching, yoga)
• quality time with the cats (playing, brushing, cuddling, going for a walk)
• quick gaming session
• body self-care (hair, face, teeth, nails, cleaning)
• organizing something (wardrobe, computer files, kitchen cabinets, library)
• checking and writing up listography and TickTick calendar/todos

• 【★★☆☆☆】 ⠀・⠀ Salem's Lot (2024) ・ US
  • Stephen King's stuff is always frustratingly almost good for me. I really liked the set up in the first third of the movie... the rest went downhill.

UPDATE 22 JULY: this whole list is drastically outdated. I'm trying to go back in my YT watch history to pull links and include them here; hopefully by the end of this month it will be all good! Pending videos to be added can be found here.

I'm addicted to long video essays. Here's a brief list of some of the 2025 watches I did and recommend to expand your knowledge and understanding of media, storytelling, culture and society.

✦⸻ video essays

• The Letter That Changed Peanuts Forever by One Mic History ▸ very illuminating, I didn't know about Peanut's Franklin origin as going hand in hand with MLK's assassination and the letter of a teacher.

I play on Switch and PC, so I'll try to separate by console. I rarely finish games, so if you see a title here, it's probably unfinished (and some of these games don't "finish", like Spirit City or The Sims 4). I enjoy narrative-driven games, casual/idlers, and build simulators. ┋ key
