bullet point journaling

jhameiaI shall try to do more of this:
- I almost fell of my chair twice this last 7 days so I am buying that gaming chair. I cannot do this weird perching-on-a-cushion thing anymore.
- Now looking for a wired keyboard and mouse, thinking of getting a keyboard with a USB port so I can attach a mouse to it. But I would also like them to have pretty colours.
- Largely I don't think I'm going to make it back to the States within 2020, so I have to look for someone to sublet my room in Berkeley. If anybody knows anyone looking for a room in the Bay, Aug - Dec 2020, at rent around $898 with awesome housemates near a BART station, hmu. My housemates have to vet the subletter, so interviews are a thing.
- My mom is so dumb, omg.
- My A/C is fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I finally bought new hangers to hang up all the clothes in my luggage bags after like, months of them sitting there. My dad was all like "why can't you just use the hangers downstairs that we use for laundry" and I'm like "there would be no hangers left for laundry" and he was like "You that THAT MUCH CLOTHES?" and I'm like "look i know you are a retired gremlin slob for some of us still like having a range of professional and party clothes". Some of these clothes need to be handwashed so I'll have to set aside time for that.
- also need to catalog the books in the boxes and pack them away. I want to catalog them so i don't have to open boxes just to find out what's in them in the future!!!!
- I got myself a table clamp for holding an embroidery hoop!! Pictured here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBXSiRynfr_/ It's amazing and I'm so excited to use it more.
- Trying to plan my next embroidery project, and I need tracing paper. Of course I would only think of it when MPH has finally closed and I forgot to go back to check out its stock. I went to AEON Big yesterday, which is kind of like a local Kmart, except it is several floors and has less logic.
- I did not know it would be so hard to find large writing notebooks here. The spiral-bound notebooks are small. The ones which are thick are bound by glue and thus gonna be unhappy to write in. The ones bound through stapling, UGH, so thin. I finally bought a two-hundred pager, but it isn't very thick because it's 100 sheets, really. But I really want to do long-hand writing for the Clarion write-a-thon so here we go.
- Speaking of I'm not sure if I want to continue the novel from last year. I typed it up into the computer afterwards and then the computer died. It's now gone to the workshop, so trying to remember how much I typed up and how much revision I did to what I did type up. (There are [BRACKETS] in my handwritten draft.) I do believe that there isn't a whole lot left to write, since I hit the major climactic battle. But I also want to write something else--I have an outline for a silly Eurofantasy romance inspired by all these manhwa I keep reading.
- WORK! WORK! WORK! My second acquisition is finally coming out! ARCs of NUCLEATION are up at NetGalley and Edelweiss and it's not as popular as THE FOUR PROFOUND WEAVES (Kimberly doesn't have as strong a track record as RB does) so I need to figure out ways to get more people interested in it. If you like to review books set in SPACE, let me know!! NUCLEATION is one of those fun commercial books which made me go "oooOo!" when I read the first few pages.
- I am writing again and I am writing fanfic. It's basically a re-write for The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up At The Duke's Mansion because WOW is the premise wasted on an incompetent protagonist and I just lost patience one day. It's gotten to the point where I could conceivably file the serial numbers off and pass it off as original fic, especially given the sheer number of recycled isekai stories right now.
I think that's it for now.
