April 2025

Brief thoughts:

This month has gone by faster than expected.
I lost a week to plumbing issues and the stress of dealing with said issues.
My pottery class is coming to an end and I will miss it greatly—most of what I created was wonky but I had a good time and look forward to enrolling in another class in the future.
With help from my dad, the car now has a bed in the back for future adventures. Once I have my set up a little more formalized, I'll be sharing the details.
For the month of March and April, I have been writing a zine on Brain Rot. I'm still writing it. My goal was to release a zine a month, but I've since reassessed that goal and decided on aiming for 4 zines this year which feels more realistic given my pacing—that said, if I feel like I can do more, I will!

I watched:

• The Boy and the Heron
• The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (All the current seasons minus the reunion episodes because I don't care about them rehashing drama from two episodes earlier. Probably won't watch shows from other locations—Mormonism sets it apart.)

I read:

• https://permacomputing.net/
• Program or Be Programmed by Douglas Rushkoff (Or at least, the introduction and first chapter).

I played:

• Hypospace Outlaw (video game)

I listened:

• Sweet Delirium (My coworker's band's first album!)
