About me

My name is Caitlin and I'm just a girl trying to create more joy in her life I'm v into physical media like CDs, movies, and games. I recently found my 3DS from my middle school years and I've been LOVING playing it again. I'm a recent gf girlie and miss baking so much, I hope to bake more and keep you all posted on my adventures with that! My partner and I play a lot of board games so I'll have updates on what we played and liked (or didn't) monthly!

What I've been up to!

Life stuff

Lately I've been making a ton of progress on my experiments (yay!) which also means I've been having a LOT of hand pain so I need to take a break from knitting and sewing (boo). But this has led me to explore other cutsey crafts like modding an iPod, creating a website, and hopefully soon learning how to create a video game!!! I'm starting small for now and hope to get better at html and css. Engineering school has taught me about python and matlab but never a fun project like this! I'm happy to find joy in coding.

Media

Fav's this month

• Music: I've been rebuilding my iTunes library and using the library to get physical CDs! I've been checking out Beyonce, Adele, Laufey, Fiona Apple, and Khruangbin to name a few. The art that goes into the lyric book in these CDs makes me smile every time I see them! I love how all of them are unqiue and I'll sing along for a little using them! The whole process makes me feel like I'm 12 again and it's oddly healing.
• Movies: Nothing new to report.
• Books: My latest finished book was A Physical Education by Casey Johnston and it had to be the best fitness book I've read. I finished Atomic Habits earlier in the summer and thought that would be the thing to crack the code on going to the gym regularly but Casey's book did that for me way more (well so far at least). The way she talks about building muscle and describing how helpful lifting was to her self esteem made me want to get back into weight training. The next two books I checked out are Ready Player Two by Shira Chess and Joyful by Ingrid Fetell Lee. I also started reading comic books! I read the first Aliens comic and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Loved both of them so so much and now I guess I'm a comic collector because I NEED MORE!
• Games: I played Scrable for the first time ever!! I picked up a NYT crossword book in the beginning of this year and I'm on puzzle 93/100 which is crazy! Scrabble kinda feels like the crossword minus hints so it's been a fun evening game for us. Recently I treated myself to Beacon Patrol but haven't had time to play it yet.
• Crafts: I sewed some PJs! I made the Carolyn PJs and bought some fancy fabric at a local store near me. I sewed the sleeves wrong at first and had to recut them so the project sat in time-out for a month before I picked it up and finished it finally!! Yay!!
