1. for music the the collection of tracks that ive mentioned in a previous blog post still stand as the main focus for music recording.
2. for writing, ive been taking a big break recently (its been months and months) but im thinking of getting back to it soon. i haven’t mentioned it on this blog yet but ive been working for several months on a screenplay adaptation for the japanese avant garde novel confessions of a mask. i have about 150 pages of notes written on a word processor but besides that not a single line of script has actually managed to be written. if im being honest, i probably have another 150 pages of notes to make before i can start organizing a cohensive narrative. if i really locked in and worked at it every day, i think i could putt it off in one month as the way i take notes is just gibberish. its the organizing of the notes that takes forever.
3. film watching. i haven’t watched a movie in a good while. i think the next film i want to watch is Eureka. its about 4 hours though so ill have to block time off to see it. thats fine.
4. album listening. i put a blog post just before this about trying to find more records to listen to for inspiration. that can serve as this 4th bullet point.
5. anime. ive always have been a big fan of anime. it surprisingly influences the music i want to make and my writing more than other writings and music. ive been watching elfen lied, kinos journey, and dennou coil.
6. reading. i havent read in a while but the book i really want to start is sputnick sweetheart.
7. gym. ive been trying to go to the gym every other day, and also to lose weight to a particlar number. im only about 6 pounds away from my first major weight goal so thats good.
8. gaming. i havent played games in a while but my main goal is to at least complete persona 4 golden before the end of the year. ill just take it slow but i do miss that game. i want to play persona 5 and metaphor which is another big reason.

im going to put below where i stand on all of these things and maybe make an update one week from today and see how im faring.

1. as of now i have 2 tracks in a demo state that need a lot of work. i think i have ideas for 2 more tracks but i would like to have 3 more then going forward. im looking to make a track that sounds like something by pasteboard and one by myhairball. id like to at least record one more song demo at some point.
2. id like to at least scribble maybe 5 pages of notes for confessions of a mask at some point.
3. id love to set time aside to watch eureka next week.
4. ill probably try to sit down and listen to one of the records i put in the previous blog post this week. either driving or when im at the gym.
5. i havent been watching a lot of anime. id like to watch at least one episode.
6. havent started reading but would like to read maybe 20 pages of sputnick this coming week.
7. just continuing to go to the gym every other day. ive been doing good. need to be a bit conscious of what im eating ie sugar and desserts, also getting 150g of protein which is less than what i want but necessary for now as im trying to lose.
8. at least do a gaming session of persona 4 golden. that is like maybe 2 hours?

i think when i update this next week, what ill do is decide what i enjoyed doing the most and add more time to one thing / decrease time to stuff i didnt enjoy and also see what i actually end up doing and what i dont end up doing.
