Things are starting to take shape.

I think that for now, at least, I’m just going to leave the looks of the site how it is. I like the simple, clean look. I’m so sick of every single page on the internet being crammed with ads and content, it’s nice to have space.

Anyway, I think I’ve got the basics set up now. I also managed to download all my old Instagram and FB pictures and whatnot – they really provide you with a near terrifying amount of data when you do that. I think I’m fairly set to start closing down my Facebook account. For a month or so I will make all posts private except for occasional posts plugging this blog, and then delete it forever.

I’ve really missed the days of the old internet, when I visited more than basically 3 websites. I’ve missed not being forced into consuming trash content from people I don’t know all the time. I’m excited for the projects I’m starting on right now.

What projects, you might wonder?

Well…

First, I guess this blog is kind of a big project with a lot of little subprojects.

Subproject 1:

I’m planning to go through my entire record collection alphabetically (-ish, I have a somewhat freeform version of what alphabetical means, in that if an artist goes by several names I tend to shelve them all together under the primary name I think of them as), listen to the whole record, and write a little review of each one. Right now I’m going to start doing that on Sundays, because Sunday seems like a lovely day to listen to a record and write about it.

Subproject 2:

I’m also planning to start writing about film, like, a lot. Much like Subproject 1, I’m also planning to go through my physical film collection of things I have on Blu-ray and DVD. I’ve got probably at least 100 films then, so that’s fun. I’m also going to write up reviews of films I go to, and some streaming movies, especially more indie and foreign things I watch.

My other, non blog related big project is learning FL Studio and recording some music. I’ve finally got a good setup, a bunch of instruments and equipment, and I’ve spent enough money on all these things that if I don’t start doing something with them, I will start being sad about it.

I’ll of course post anything I create that I don’t hate here.
