This is a now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. If you have a blog or website, you might want to consider keeping a now page as well. Here’s how and why.
Reading
Happily, my love for reading seems to have been rekindled. This is what I put my reading glasses on for these days:
- „Science of Discworld“ IV by Terry Pratchett et al.
- the August short stories at deadlinesforwriters
Listening
- „Tak“ by Rikke Østergaard on Bookbeat
- Yugen Blakrok
- lots of podcasts including „What’s Her Name?“ by Katie Nelson and Olivia Meikle
- all the concerts that I did not get around to see in Wacken, thanks to Magenta
Watching
- our DVD collection of New Who, currently at Eleven and realising how bleak his seasons were in part
- my various YouTube watchlists with the literally hundreds of videos I used to save „for later“
- Still loving the videos by @hairforhumans. I had a few frustrating experiences myself, so seeing him ask all those thought questions before cutting into peoples hair and giving them what they want not he would prefer is so wholesome 🙂
Now Working On
- adding alt-text to previous blog posts where it’s still missing
- blogging more and more regularly in English
- checking and reparing broken links on my webpage
- enjoying the summer holidays
Now Doing
- watching my ToDo-list melt away while racking up experience points in Habitica
- working on my nutrition with the August Habitica challenge
- getting to the bottom of my Long-COVID fatigue
- shifting all the chopped of branches and other organic material from our garden into a dead hedge
- testing all the open air swimming pools in the area
- upping up my French lessons on Duolingo to be able to follow this fascinating youtube channel called Mathémusique
