Ok

So hi. Things have been weird, but life goes on. How’ve you guys been?

Let’s start with the gym situation. Remember how I said id do a 6 day a week program? Ill be honest, I havent finished it yet. I’ve been taking the workouts and modifying them for the strong app, and since some equipment just isnt available in the gym there needs to be substitutes and personal preference for weak muscles implemented. That being said, there are only two days left to add until the routine is done and I can just follow the routine as logged, those two being today and tomorrow. Every other day is set up. Didnt go today but I will go tomorrow, just fixing up my sleep and the fact that im still adjusting to the soreness stopped me from going today.

Speaking of soreness, now that im tracking protein intake I find I recover faster with protein levels closer to my body’s needs, no shit sherlock who would’ve gussed I know, but I only realised how little protein I was having compared to what I needed when I started tracking. Besides, part of it could also be attributed to me getting used to the workouts themselves. It’s been a slow but steady process, so im excited to know that by next week ill be doing the 6 day routine without any days skipped.

FINALLY INSTALLED LINUX ON THE MAC. It’s so overdue it’s unreal but I finally did it :p. It was really easy too, asahi linux on m1 macbook pros is made really easy so I had no trouble at all installing it. Problems showed up after the fact, with me setting up the keyboard. It was pretty silly though, and I set it to the right language after scrounging around the system settings. To be honest, my main problem was with getting apps downloaded, and that situation is even sillier. I got the impression from all the videos of asahi linux that it was based off of arch linux, and thought to follow arch linux instructions. Turns out fedora is the official distrubtution for asahi, so I downloaded that and forgot to follow instructions related to fedora instead, and spent the all friday torubleshooting an unsolvable problem, trying to get the pacman function to work when instead I was supposed to be using dnf to install software. Kind of embarassing since the logo of the OS IS LITERALLY A BIG FAT F FOR FEDORA, AND I WASTED SO MUCH GODDAMN TIME. Got more familiar with the terminal again though so it came out to something positive in the end I guess :0.

Also, I thought for so long that i’d be able to play windows games easier after installing linux, assuming i’d be able to use steams combatibility layer as opposed to the nonexistent mac support completely forgetting THE MAC HAS AN ARM CHIP. WELL SHIT. Still, support is coming in the future, and the team behind asahi linux are some genuinely scary motherfuckers for even making any of this possible, so ill take the time to learn more about the OS in the meantime.

Right forgot to mention APPARENTLY I HAVE A GUITAR NOW? TWO GUITARS????? WTF. A good friend of my dad came over about a week ago and offered me a guitar on the condition that I actually use it. All things considered I havent been quite active in trying to learn the piano, so for a second I thought maybe it’d be better not to take the offer. Honestly though, ever since I stopped learning it when I was younger i’ve had regrets, and besides, maybe this change of pace would help. Try something new, broaden the amount of instrunments I can toy with and have more fun because of it. So I agreed, assuming he was just gonna hand me an accoustic guitar. EXPLAIN TO ME THEN WHY HE HANDED ME ELECTRIC TOO, HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO??????????????????????? MOTHERFUCKER ONE WAS ALREADY ASTRONOMICALLY GENEROUS HOLY HELL. All this to say im quite grateful <3. Dunno where ill start but ill start, I already have some stuff i’d like to be able to play in the future, so might as well. Tuned the accoustic and bought the picks, they arrived thursday night, so im ready to start. Let’s see where it goes.

One more thing, i’ve been catching up on an old animated TV series I used to love, teen titans. Ill admit, I used to watch the definitively worse teen titans Go WAAAAAAAAY more, but I was a kid ok? I didnt know how to pirate, used to watch all of it on youtube anyways. Still though I WAS OBSESSED. Ive always loved the world, the characters are so fucking cool and I loved each one of them to death, I STILL HAVE FOND MEMORIES PLAYING TEEN TITANS GO FIGURE, THE MOBILE GAME. FOR. HOURS. Now that im properly rewatching the main show I get to enjoy it even more than when I was a kid and only watched small clips of it online. It holds up suprisingly well, I see some people online bashing the artstyle but I quite like it to be honest. Just finished season 2, and the betrayal is still eating me up from the inside out. WHY, TERRA WAS THE PERFECT ADDITION TO THE TEAM, SLADE YOU PIECE OF SHIT. They better bring her back, give my boy beast some love he deserves it. Genuinely though, from when she appeared till when she got turned to stone at the end, I thought she blended in to the world so well. the design and power are top notch, I hope we get more characters like her soon. At least we’ve already got a lot of other great characters. Gizmo and jinx are really cool too, and aqualad is fun but the magma kid and wildebeast dont do it for me.

That’s all for now. Ill go watch a bit more of season three and head to bed. Have a nice week :).
