Entering Year Four of Blogging

Of 'three years' to look back over, these three have just been WILD.
June 1, 2021June 7, 2021 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

As we slide into June, this blog has slowly and quietly entered year four.  I started it back at the end of May/beginning of June in 2018 as an experiment of sorts, tracking my time and effort spent on language learning, going over the stuff that has worked for me and the stuff that hasn’t, … Continue reading Entering Year Four of Blogging

Language Learning: Where to Start

The most important thing to remember about my advice is that I'm dumb.
May 4, 2021May 3, 2021 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

So as we go into May, at the top of the month I thought I’d revisit a topic I’ve covered before, but one that I think naturally lends itself to evolution over time, and that’s answering the question: “I want to learn a new language, where do I get started?”  I’m of course not particularly … Continue reading Language Learning: Where to Start

Revisiting the Yearly Theme for 2021

April 6, 2021April 5, 2021 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

After 2020 lingered on like the smell of a dead animal, it’s amazing how much 2021 seems to be sprinting by.  Part of it for me is definitely just a renewed focus on other stuff, as I’ve been busy and productive throughout this year in ways not related to my day job doing stuff like … Continue reading Revisiting the Yearly Theme for 2021

A Monkey Wrench in the Status Quo

On the one hand, yay, novelty. On the other, halp, my structure, nuu...
March 2, 2021March 7, 2021 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

Here we are in March, and I can hardly believe it.  February is of course on the wimpy side as far as month lengths go, but it still counts, and this year continues to go by at a much more expected rate than 2020 did for me.  Part of me thinks that’s a direct effect … Continue reading A Monkey Wrench in the Status Quo

Passing the Time Writing

I see the world's still a mess in 2021, but it feels more like a WACKY mess.
February 2, 2021February 1, 2021 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

So as I’ve discussed in previous blogs since the tail end of November, I have been working on fiction writing again after taking a long hiatus back in September of 2019 for a variety of reasons, none of which were good, but which were also unavoidable.  I’m not sure how applicable any of this is … Continue reading Passing the Time Writing

Yearly Theme for 2021

With how 2020 went, I worry 'The Year of Action' sounds like a threat.
January 5, 2021January 4, 2021 ~ bats ~ 1 Comment

We’re officially in 2021 now, and while things don’t feel all that much different, I’m choosing to look forward optimistically and hope for this to be a better year.  A lot has changed since the last of these year-start blogs I wrote, with my life overall improving despite other difficulties presenting themselves.  This is when … Continue reading Yearly Theme for 2021

Revisiting 2020’s Yearly Theme

In reality, the "yearly theme" for everyone's 2020 was "oh god no."
December 1, 2020December 1, 2020 ~ bats ~ 1 Comment

I’m so done with this year. I’m sure that’s a sentiment I share with most people at this point, and I know it’s stupid and short-sighted to think that the arbitrary dates on the calendar really have much to do with anything.  With November behind us, we have one remaining month to go before 2020 … Continue reading Revisiting 2020’s Yearly Theme

Language Learning With Split Attention

Speaking of attentions being split, today's the election. AHHHHHHHHHH!
November 3, 2020November 9, 2020 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

So I’m at a little bit of a rough patch at the moment, because this week I am due to write a blog about language learning and recap the month of October, but I am at odds with actually completing that task, because my interests are heavily divided at the moment.  Over the weekend, The … Continue reading Language Learning With Split Attention

Setting Toki Pona Aside

I can't believe it's fall already, and yet can't wait for 2020 to end.
October 6, 2020November 2, 2020 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

Throughout September I’ve managed to have a few shakeups in my learning schedule, thanks in large part to my work schedule becoming more accommodating to me squeezing out a bit more reading throughout the day, which let me shift back to my preferred blend during the week for reading and watching time.  Another shakeup that’s … Continue reading Setting Toki Pona Aside

Efficiency Vs. Accessibility

Truly, the most difficult to admit part was that this IS the new normal.
September 1, 2020October 5, 2020 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

Last week, as I took a break from a main topic and just recorded the numbers for the week and recapped, I did end up having a bit of a topic to discuss, because I ended up giving up the ghost on my ‘platonic ideal’ schedule for working days and switched from 90 minutes reading … Continue reading Efficiency Vs. Accessibility
