Week 6
This week I’m reflecting on how the content of my blog and how there tend to be patterns that aren’t what I initially intended; however, my mindset is changing as to how this blog should be approached. Initially, I thought most of these posts would encourage me to do smaller, more tactile activities that I’ve…

Week 5
This week I began to explore more organizational elements to my blog, as I wanted to ensure that visitors can navigate easily and efficiently. At the start, I had my blog posts and process posts all on their own single pages. Over the weeks, I realized this was not ideal because the pages would begin…

Week 4
This week, I’m reflecting on the intended audience I’ve been writing for, or whether I should adapt the voice of this blog to better address an audience. While I’m writing, I have two intended audiences in mind: individuals in their 20’s but also myself. I sort of see myself as part of the audience. If…

The Queens of Guitar Hero
I haven’t a clue how to play a real guitar, but I am a big fan of hitting those colourful buttons on a plastic one. Guitar Hero has always been on of my favourite games to play, especially since it now exists as ‘Clone Hero’ which is basically the free desktop version that some beautiful…

Week 3
This week I began wondering what would happen during a week where I genuinely don’t have the time to fulfill an ‘enjoyable’ activity, as per the goal for this blog. It happens, some weeks are just busier than others and sometimes ‘fun’ has to be put on pause – just not for too long of…

The Wee Hours of the Slideshow Saga
Going from ‘haha’ to heartbreak in a matter of 20 seconds must be some type of record. Well, that’s the strange, algorithmic power of Tiktok. If you’re on Tiktok, you’re well aware that once you like 1 post, your whole feed is flooded with whatever content was in that post you liked. Like…a tsunami of…

Close Encounters of the Monkey Kind
I’ve never seen so many monkeys screaming in the same room. I felt like I belonged. By monkeys, I’m referring to the thousands of screaming Arctic Monkeys fans at the recent concert that just passed on September 23 at Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum. These fans were hardcore, myself included. Within the army of leather jackets and…

Week 1
While I’m no stranger to interacting with the public, I made it a goal this week to make conversation with seniors at my place of work. Hundreds of customers walk through those doors each day. Yes, at times my social battery runs out and I’m tired of people asking “where’s the milk around here” or…
