07/05/25: ♫ good morning - yena // i'd had a really hard week but i'm starting to feel a bit better now. i made the monkey bread, 4 dozen cookies, and i made cheesecake for the first time as well! i overmixed the batter, so it was a little dense. i'm gonna try to make another one and a raspberry swirl one too! i'm in the process of switching from spotify to youtube music, which is weird because i've used spotify for 7 years now, but i want to be able to listen to covers and not have to look up songs that i listened to from youtube on spotify later, it's just already saved in youtube music at that point.

06/30/25: ♫ anarchy rainbow - splatoon 3 // my xlov album also came in today and i'm very excited to listen to "1 of lov" on my cd player. i've been listening to lots of music past few days. i leveled up to lvl10 in splatoon so i can do the ranked/anarchy rounds now which have been fun. i haven't gotten very far as i'm still learning the new game modes but i'm getting better at splatting enemies. also i've been wanting to bake (and craving monkey bread) so i made some dough tonight for it and i'm letting it chill in the fridge and hopefully we'll have some tasty monkey bread tomorrow.

the person helping me learn to code python gave me a new assignment (using functions). i have to make a burn mechanic in my text based fighting game that runs over multiple rounds and continues to take damage until it runs out. bonus points if i can make it chance based. i really prefer having a project based goal rather than doing mini codes only related to a specific thing i'm trying to learn. it feels a bit redundant. adding it to bigger things might make it more difficult, cuz i have to link more things together but i get a more tangible result, a bigger reward.

06/27/25: i played splatoon for the first time since july of 2023. i had to get a new switch and this was my first time booting up splatoon on said switch. it opened to the character creation menu and my heart dropped. i thought i'd lost everything. but it only had me do the tutorial and then it gave me all my stuff back. i'm a little octoling. i was gonna have my character as an inkling this time just to switch it up but i'm happy i have my octoling back! ^^ i had green tea today and when we went out for dinner i got mongolian beef. vv yummy!

06/24/25: trying stuff out! i'll just need to highlight some stuff and make it easier for me to figure out. i'd like to add boxes around each entry at some point but for today we can leave it plain. i'll cahnge the colors and whatnot as well when we get to that point
