Jan 18: What did I do this week?
2026-01-18
Got my face zapped for the first time!
In a hair removal kind of way. This is using IPL, which is like laser but with more than one wavelength of light - it's a little annoying to talk about, because everyone (in my social circles) knows what laser hair removal is but not so much IPL, and I can't say I got lasered because that would be inaccurate but "IPL" usually requires some explaining. Anyway, I have the right skin and hair for it, so hopefully I'll get good results. Next time will be in 6-8 weeks.
Kept Drawaboxing
I still haven't burned out on it, and I've gotten past the first 50 of the 250 boxes challenge. The next 50 are harder; you draw boxes in three-point perspective like before, but this time without explicitly marking your vanishing points on the page. That makes it harder to know exactly where the lines are supposed to go and to judge how well I did, which feels a little discouraging. I might end up reducing my pace a little.
Sent a scary email
I'm a hero.
Thought about Gemini and my website
I think the Gemini project is a really neat idea, and I've enjoyed this time of Geminiposting, but I think it might be drawing to a close. The biggest thing is really that I have the domain frejas dot website, and a Gemini capsule isn't a website, so for consistency I would want to get a new domain name, and I both don't have any good ideas for one and don't want to spend money on one right now. But I am working on giving my website yet another new look inspired by the Amfora Gemini client (plus a couple of new little features), and I'm going to continue the blogging plans I made and also try to make my blogging workflow as simple as my gemlogging workflow is.
Was wiped out
Because of some combination of my body dealing with the aforementioned zapping and some other stuff, I've been more tired than usual for most of the week, and have mostly been resting in bed. Today's been OK, though, and I think tomorrow I'll probably be back to where I was a week ago. Hoping to get back to gaming next week.
