COVID-19 ⚛️

• Since Melbourne has entered Stage 4 quarantine, I am at home every day 🏡; I have discovered that I am perfectly happy squirrelled away like this. 🐿️
• This has led me to do a lot of the following…

Website 🌐

• Finally changed the name and tagline of my site – the previous one was always supposed to be temporary
• I got a logo designed for the website (I discovered Fiverr via YouTuber/Muralist, Ten Hundred). If you're willing to shell out for a domain and a server, a logo isn't that much of a stretch.
• Changed my theme to GuCherry Blog; it's not an officially IndieWeb-supported theme, but it seems to work fine.
• Considering how long this Now entry is, I'm setting a reminder to update this monthly, so I don't have such a huge backlog.

Podcast 🎙️

• "Trigger Point FM" is on hiatus for much longer than expected as my co-host absolutely refuses to record remotely

I am playing a lot more games 🎲:

• The original Vampire: The Masquerade game I was playing moved from face-to-face to being played via video chat, to not being played at all. Instead, I've replaced that with a play-by-post VtM game hosted on the Seattle by Night Discord Server. Instead of writing up session summaries, I am now sharing my posts from the Discord game.
• Pathfinder is still happening once a week – we are now facing a world-ending event that requires us to do some tomb-diving, and my character spends 1/3 of the time as Chaotic Evil, and no one notices…
• I spent two weeks playing No Man's Sky again, but that resulted in some serious sleep deprivation, so I decided to shelve that for now.
• I am playing Thousand Year Old Vampire – too early to share my thoughts on this…
• I've rediscovered Nile Online, a browser-based worker/resource management game. I forget how much I enjoy these games – especially when there's no warfare involved – This led to me discovering GreaseMonkey/Tampermonkey

Analogue stuff ✍️

• As I'd mentioned, I'm currently trying out some stress-transforming journaling. This is a very recent endeavour, so more updates to come.
• I'm taking Amy Tangerine's "Fresh Takes on Traveler's Notebooks" course to try to use up some of my Traveler's Notebook inserts / scrapbooking supplies I have lying around.
• I've brought out my typewriter again – my other-half is not happy with the noise

iOS 👩🏻‍💻

• I've created a Shortcut that keeps track of the web-series I'm reading (webcomics, web novels etc.), and which chapter I'm up to – I just need to write it up

I am watching 📺

• All fourteen seasons of Supernatural – currently onto season 12
• Recently finished:
  • Suits
  • Nashville
  • Nirvana in Fire (again)
  • Mystic Pop-Up Bar
  • Lucifer – Season 5
