I probably won't keep up with daily blogs for long, but just to get some content down i thought i'd write about something a little more personal today, just to get some variety in :3
Recently i've joined the whole modern iPod movement, with a 5th gen [sadly, not 5.5] which i was regrettably forced to buy pre-modded at a bit of an upcharge, but where i am, classic-model iPods- even damaged- rarely show up for less than a hundred bucks anyway... after mods, it would have been about the same price and everything.
But, after getting a week or two's use out of it it's still been totally worth it- Rockbox didn't play out the way i wanted, but once i found a flow for converting my music and syncing it to the stock OS using Linux, it stopped being such an appealing prospect anyway- heat and battery issues and all. :p
Just the feeling of having music files, that i own, actively, myself, whether on my iPod or my PC is just such a nice feeling, you know? Nothing has matched the feeling of every little bit of media consumption that i've taken back for myself in the last few months. I won't discuss too many details for personal reasons, but it's been absolutely cathartic and every extra thing feels like it's been so much stress off me, not having to think about who really owns what i'm using and enjoying and how i enjoy it.
I guess this website had somewhat of the same goal- starting a space where i can just immerse myself in doing something in a way or time where it feels like i'm not beholden to some of the modern standards and tastes and- god forbid- control, of modern corporate atmosphere. It's completely obtuse, it's amateur, it's 100% personal, and sometimes things are just less efficient and less easy... but it's fun, you know?

Day 2! It already looks a lot better than when i started, and i'm quickly figuring out the flow for editing this stuff.
I like this color theme a lot, even if i expand on the style i'll probably keep the basic coloring for some time.
I also got some basic images in including a couple of those lil' buttons i see everywhere like this :3
Maybe i'll try to get columns working on the main page especially, but even if i do i'm not 100% sure what i'll do with them, just yet.
Maybe i'll experiment with changing the page border styling and whatnot eventually, if i recall i think there's a way to do rounded borders? Not sure if i'll stick with that when i do it though, doesn't feel like it'd fit.
More than anything i need a logo banner for the page lmao

Still figuring this whole thing out, but at the very least, it's not difficult for me to
chuck some text in an empty website and smash out a little bit of a personal blog ;p
i'll probably have a lot to upgrade with this later- i'm sure there's some way i can manage updating this without updating the HTML file-
but for now, at least there's something here :3
