I want to make my own tote bag

I realised today I can write local executable files and put the in a subfolder to call them, instead of having to write bash script.sh. For example, I have a script for creating the new entry file each day:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

pp=$(date +%F)
if [ -f "$pp" ]; then
    echo "$pp exists."
else
    mkdir $pp
    echo -e "---\ntitle:\n---" > ${pp}/entry.md
fi

I was previously running bash new.sh. Not difficult, but not elegant

After running:

mv new.sh scripts/new
chmod +x scripts/new

and thanks to the shebang at the top, I can now run

scripts/new

I'm thinking about making my own yoghurt too - I want to reduce my plastic container usage. I could buy cheap milk that's about to go off. Idk just spitballing.

Went to a drawing night tonight, did a tiny bit of drawing then talked to my friend the whole time. Afterwards we met a guy from NZ who does riso printing. Love to find a printing hookup in melbourne.

still thinking about tasks

I have more tasks to do as well, and I want to start on the right foot organising my shit. Our shit. I feel like I need to read more, like I'm missing some vocabulary, some word, where I could find all the books and articles about this stuff that I can't find now. After I publish this I'll see what I can find. I'm gonna try to keep a work journal, keep track of things I've learnt. I was inspired by MDM

an idea for I guess a poem

I was thinking I ought to start trying to write some poetry in order to better critique it and better translate it. Here's a draft of an idea I had the other day:

Act Fast by Louis

  1. If the possums in the park nearby
  2. as one people speaking the same language
  3. came together to surpass the metal barriers
  4. that stop them climbing certain protected trees
  5. nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them
  7. I'll tell you this:
  8. when we go down
  9. it will not be to confuse their language
