    Site Update (January 2025)

    —

    I’ve been pretty lazy when it comes to this website in recent years, barely bothering with doing much more than using one of the basic WordPress templates (currently a modified version of “Twenty Twenty-Four”), and just sharing the occasional post, mostly about my movie watching. Last summer I decided to start sharing more news on…

    For a while now I’ve been thinking about what I would like to use this site for, and I now know what I’ll be doing. As is proclaimed in the tagline I’ve been using for a few years now, I’ve been “blogging since 1998,” starting the year I moved to Tokyo. The first post on…

    I’ve decided to change the way I track all of the movies I watch — which I share here mostly in the form of my various movie marathons — and my book reading as well. For books, I actually did start using Goodreads to track my book reading in 2019 when I decided to increase…

    I’ve been itching of late to start a new writing project on this ol’ site of mine. In recent years there was when I started blogging about Japan again, for a few months — I stopped because it was starting to bum me out to be writing about all these things that I couldn’t experience…

    Changing the look of my blog used to be something I loved to do, whether it was creating a new look from scratch or heavily customizing themes and templates I would find online. I’d do it on an almost seasonal basis. This “design” aspect of blogging is something I’ve lost interest in along the way,…

  • State of the Blog

    ,

    Back when this blog was the most active, I liked to kick off the new year with a post that shared some of my intentions for the coming year. Although it included things I wanted to do with the blog, it went beyond that, and would lay out projects that I was hoping to make…

    The start of a new year is a fun time to lay down some new initiatives. Call them resolutions, call them whatever you like, but I find that writing down something like this in the new year helps to focus on what you want to prioritize. The biggest thing for me is something that I…
