Currently Nerding, March 2022
Nerding Out Over the Hobonichi Cousin (Avec) Earlier this week I pondered over on Twitter why I couldn’t find a daily planner to meet my needs for a structured look at the day. If you don’t already know, I’m a big proponent of the bullet journal method. You could say that I’m always nerding out about the bullet journal. I started using one in late 2016 to test it out, and by 2017 I was using it daily. And I continue to use one daily to this day. However, there’s just no easy way to draw in a week-at-a-glance schedule that has timings for as long as I need it.…

Nerding Out Over Candy I’ve never really been someone that has a sweet tooth. I don’t really crave candy or sweets on a regular basis. I mean, I have a bunch of candy bars just sitting in the fridge waiting to be eaten. It’s just not something we had in the house often as a kid, and it’s a habit I have continued as an adult. Until recently. Lately, Twix have just been hitting the spot. I’ve never quite been a fan of them before. But there’s something about them now that’s just… divine. I’m going to chalk it up to finally watching the newest season of the Great British…

Nerding Out Over Reading So far this month I have finished six books… which is more than most months this year, and I still have a few days left. Granted, one or two of those books were a DNF read (did not finish), but I’m also trying to be better about giving myself permission to DNF books. Which may or may not become another post in the future. I also got myself a new reading chair! I used to have a papasan chair there (it’s now in the living room), but it’s just not comfortable for long periods of time. I’ve been eyeing these oversize circle/oval chairs for a while,…

Currently Nerding, November 2021
Nerding Out Over Reading I’ve been getting into a lot of reading lately as you may have been able to tell by the TBR lists. Though, honestly, I think it’s safe to say I’ve more been enjoying the reading challenges I’ve found, and trying to fit in the books I already own to these reading challenges. But I’ve also purchased a fair number of books, most of which are for the Kindle. I’ve also picked up some audio books on Audible, and browsed the Audible Plus library to pick up some of the freebies I get for my monthly subscription. Of course, I’m currently working my way through re-reading a…

Developer Appreciation Week: Sticker Shops
If you don’t know, planners and stickers (and well, stationery in general) are something I have gotten into a lot. I have quite a few sticker shops I frequent, but I wanted to call out the few that I head to first when I hear it’s release day. The Honey B Shop Shan and the Honey B Team create hand-drawn stickers that are a perfect mix of alternative culture and cute! Pretty much everything she creates (including her washi tape!) is something I adore and have to get my hands on! Creating & Co Paige focuses on lots of book stickers—whether they be reading challenges, or themed around books… and…

Dead by Daylight Right now, Dead by Daylight is just really my go-to game on weekdays. It’s great for end-of-night gaming so I can intersperse chores and content creation tasks in between matches in a variety of ways. I mainly either do a match then walk away to handle a chore, or do things while I’m sitting in queues. It depends on the time of night, and if there are any events going on. Until they implement MMR, anyway. Queues seemed to be fairly quick during the MMR test they did a few months ago. FFXIV I’m really enjoying the story! I’m having fun working my way through all the…

Currently Nerding August
Another month, another list of nerdy things I’ve been into! It’s interesting to me how the things I’m interested in change up. This will be a neat series to look back on come December! Custom Doll Videos I always seem to stumble onto interesting things on YouTube. I’m not sure how, but I do. This month, I stumbled upon the custom doll community. I’ve only really started watching videos from two folks (both the woman in the video, and the person she did the collab with), but look forward to checking out more folks as I work my way through these two collections. Much like planner videos, there’s something calming…

Currently Nerding July 2020
Another Belated Nerding Much like last month, I’m behind on my monthly wrap up, but I feel like I’m getting into the swing of content creation more a bit this week… which I hope continues! There’s not too much I’m currently nerding over this month, so let’s get to it. Warrior Nun Manthing and I ended up turning this on one date night, and then we both finished it separately because we couldn’t wait to finish it. I loved the pacing and the characters… though I still feel a bit odd about a male character just not showing up anymore after the halfway point when they were a big part…

Weekend Odds and Ends
Ding 45! I’ve been having a lot of fun in FFXIV, which is surprising in a way based on how meh I’ve felt about the game until picking it up again. I can’t believe I’ve already hit 45! I expect that I’ll be through the majority of the base game MSQ by the time the new patch implements changes to it. Though I can’t find details on if Patch 2.1-2.55 MSQ will be affected by the newest patch. I’ve especially been enjoying the eye candy that is Cid. His voice could be deeper… but he’s still fun to look at. No Cam Streams I decided to try dabbling with a…

Currently Nerding May/June 2020
Belated Nerding While July has officially started, I’ve been afk from much of social media and blogging just due to, well… *gestures at the world* and it’s effect on my mental (and physical) health. So I just wanted to do a quick recap of things I nerded out over the past two months to not only just talk about some fun things, but also get my blogging fingers working again after some time off to take care of myself. Monster Prom I spent quite a bit of time during May talking about my time playing in Monster Prom. I even dabbled in it some during June. But I kind of…
