Staying up late affects my sleep, which in turn affects my mood. Self esteem is not great today, feeling self concious about my body and my achievements.

I don't like this style of writing , the text-dump of where I'm at. Part of this journal is keeping an accurate record, so it's a necessary evil, for now. Poetic, specific words might help? Perhaps just more structure and rhythm.

Javier Bórquez made this tool to visualise sentence rhythm. Now that I've done 122 posts I think it's time to think about improving my writing. The problem used to be writing at all. Now we've got a new challenge. Rhythm, clarity, structure, brevity, all things that can lift these journal entries into a new world of expression and practice. I keep testing this paragraph in the tool listed above and let me tell you: It is punishing.

side note: It'd be cool to build that feature right into an a writing app, maybe I could mod Left? Or get more into vim and make a plugin for Neovim?

what's that smell

I didn't get round to mentioning the absolutely lovely gift I got from my friends as a late birthday present: The Le Labo discovery set. It's the entire Le Labo collection as little testers, I can sample them all then choose one to get a 50ml bottle of. I'm going to do a smelling evening one night this week.

last of all

My iPod shuffle arrived. Was it worth it? $40 isn't so much these days. I'm charging it now. Excited to move ahead on my "screen free" evenings and see what joys lie hidden beyond constant visual stimulation and algorithmic content aggregation.
