Weekly Notes #2
March 2-8
Happy International Women's Day!🧡
Life
- podcast: someone commented on my comment from 2 years ago
- in 2024, I commented on an architecture history podcast about a temple in Japan, built by Chinese monks a few hundred years ago. I mentioned I would check it out during my trip to Japan. Yesterday, someone commented asking if I did go and how was it. I did, and I made a podcast episode on it. I shared with the person and we were both happy. So nice to see that the void shouts back.
- running
- 3 runs: 6km, 4.6km and 7km
- I haven't been running regularly since I moved to the new place, and I struggle with the hot weather and the always unexpected rain. Finally now it's only 2 months until my next half-marathon, I have to stack up the kms... I am determined to do at least 2 easy runs and a long run every week.
- I met new people
- it's 2nd week of my master's program and I met some new people, we exchanged Instagram. Though every time I open the app there is just too many ads, they hurt my eyes. I also realised as I am getting older, I become bolder when it comes to first encounters.
- Going back to uni after several years of work is quite hard to adjust. I am not used to do assignments anymore. I don't do "work" at home, but now I have to read the readings and type in Times New Roman again...
- Reading
- I found Naked in Death, a murder mystery with a splash of romance, by J.D. Robb in 1995. Setting is in 2040s NYC, it reminds me of one of the apartments in Cyberpunk 2077. This FMC is very likable so far.
- Sona mi maru 望宇向宙, cozy(?) sci-fi manga
Blog
- Made a fun and simple text animation for the website title (see above), it is breathing! I learned it from the Work/Life font animation by Gayane Gasparyan

Game
- Town to City, a perfect relaxing game for a city nerd like me, who is in the architecture and urban industry. I like how the game sets the balance between expansion, need and supply.
I got some sheep
Town at night
