Groceries, emotions, and wasted time... mostly
(September 12th, 2021)
Groceries
I had some groceries delivered.
I got eggs and bacon and my favorite kind of popsicle and some frozens and candy and a rotisserie chicken and some popcorn and a few other things.
Emotions
It's been a little while since this happened, but I felt really, really down due to loneliness.
It's left me feeling kinda of confused and thinking about things like my unproductive attempts to solve the loneliness, if the baseline of my moral character is good or not, what I need vs what I want, and the hows and ifs of how my struggles affect the people around me.
Wasted time
I spent a lot of my time watching movies and doing unproductive things. I did do a little bit of housecleaning here and there but I got tired.
Friend
Been talking more with that old friend that I mentioned before. A lot more, haha. It's helped redeem the day, honestly. They even drew something for me and it's adorable! 🤎
(Not sharing the art here because I don't want to expose their identity, but it's super cute and includes my Chocoblight character)

I'm not old enough to really remember 9/11 clearly. I would've been about five years old at the time. But it's still with a heavy heart that I look back.
Friend
I've started talking again with an old friend of mine who I hadn't heard from in a really long time. They're really fun to talk to and I've been having a blast chatting with them!
A quiet day. More Minecraft
September 10th, 2021
Not much happened today, really. I played some more Minecraft and continued to work on the spreadsheet for The Repository. I've started updating the chest signs to include any changes to the text ID/item name since "The Flattening", which is when Minecraft moved fully away from numeric IDs.
I'm glad for the weekend.
Picked up a bit more on the flipnote archive project
September 9th, 2021
Today went pretty slowly, but I did pick back up on some work for the flipnote archive project. In particular, I was doing some analysis on FSID->3DFSID conversion by Nintendo and how some had a prefix of 00, 10, 12, or 14 (and maybe another one.)
Interestingly, out of all the Flipnotes in Flipnote Gallery: World, only one of them had a parent_fsid starting with 12, and it was a spin-off of a Flipnote that was itself a spin-off of a Flipnote by a person who I knew, who I reached out to to ask about it. Funny how things turn out like that!
Some experimentation with Minecraft mods
September 8th, 2021
I decided to try experimenting a bit with Minecraft mods and was pleasantly surprised at the utility they added to the game. I can now quickly sort my inventory and chests with Mouse Wheelie, find where I put my equipment or stored a certain kind of material with Chest Tracker, see what's in my shulker boxes without placing them with ShulkerBoxTooltip, find out who owns a horse or cat or dog with Pet Owner, and have various other small fixes to make my experience a little smoother.
Made a wool farm in Minecraft
September 7th, 2021
I made a wool farm in Minecraft
I've been working on collecting wool to stockpile in the giant storage building I built, which I call the Repository. It's going to have five double-chests worth of capacity for every possible item in the game. This is in survival.
The trip home from the U.P.
September 6th, 2021
I packed up this morning and headed back on my way home. It was a little rainy. I made the trip in about 4-5 hours. I rather regret not stopping anywhere on my way back -- I missed several opportunities to get pasties/fudge/whatnot , but what's done is done.
I wasn't feeling great when I got home -- rather alone and down. And tired. I tried to take a nap, but failed -- I've never been able to fall asleep when trying to fall asleep -- but eventually my day was over.
