Just caught up with the thousands of backlogged RSS posts in my feed reader until this moment, simply setting many as read in bulk, yet actually reading many more in full - phew!
Searched for books of creative exercises or prompts the other day to help me get into the habit of daily writing, but I need look no further than my own old story ideas, journals, and commonplace notebooks - so many unexplored thoughts stored within, I could work for years on texts based on them…
I’ve imported all of my old, old transcribed ideas and notes which were just sitting on iCloud as txt files after I copied them over from a backup drive - I didn’t know how to deal with them on the iPad until now (that alone might be worth the full version of Ulysses app…)
Watched: The Ballad of Wallis Island - on histories, collaboration, and creativity 🍿
Exploring the Ulysses writing app, going to test it out on all my devices as much as possible for the trial week
Did some reading in the pink Poäng chair, then watched Hertha - Darmstadt (2:2 - Berlin’s 5th tie in a row) in the background on the couch as I caught up with RSS feeds and open browser tabs
Café, some shopping, and a longer walk in the mall - glad Alexanderplatz has relatively well cleared off paths
Trying out Awake app (via No More Snoozing Alarms) hoping its “missions” will help me get up better, quicker - multiple alarms every morning have been failing most days for a long time now… Also trying out their main app, Structured - I haven’t yet found the right todo app - will this be the one?…
Watched: Before Midnight 🍿
Watched: Before Sunset (a month after watching Before Sunrise) 🍿
Managed to get to the library to renew my overdue books today, but realized there are yet more newly overdue needing attention…
Watched: The Phoenician Scheme 🍿
Back from a neighborhood café and a walk in the mist. It’s gonna be icy tonight - another evening on the couch, might watch a movie…
Watched: The Life of Chuck on Friday and completed on Saturday before bed - I haven’t read Stephen King in years, but I’d love to read the novella this film is based on🍿
Walked to the library to renew some books only to see that they’re closed for the weekend due to heater issues - at least I got out a bit in the daylight.
Had a lazy evening in from the cold catching up on my open web browser tabs. Looking forward to going out when it’s not as cold tomorrow, so we can get another Leseknochen (reading bone) pillow which has turned out to be one of the best recent purchases - it makes for quite comfortable reading. 📖
