I might or might not make this a series about the random things I've been "researching" at one point or another. I'm not sure if researching is the correct term as I'm watching several YouTube videos and reading bits and pieces about it here and there, but it's not necessarily pointed towards anything specific.

Lately, I've looked a lot towards architecture. It's been something that has interested me on and off for a long time. Possibly as far back as when my parents built the house they live in when I was eleven. I remember drawing floor plans while at university and probably at school as well. I certainly remember not having it as an option for a degree because I wasn't good at art and technical drawing was too much like art. What I still do is take pictures of random houses while I'm out and about whether I'm on vacation or just taking a walk.

All of that makes me want to learn more about architecture. It also feeds into my world building. Well, my "pointless" world building for a fantasy or sci-fi setting for a story and society that is absolutely non-existent. Still, it's fun and that's all that matters and maybe one day I'll figure out the rest of the world building :)

When the weekend flies by while you do some new year's cleaning... is it really already past 9pm on Sunday? I pushed of my "lunch" so late, it's currently in the oven. Oh well. I chose to stay in bed for another two hours or so after waking up yesterday and it didn't help my long to do list. Some of which I did today and for the rest? Well, the rest of January should still be fine, right?

And as I'm writing this, I remember that I forgot to drop off (and write really) a birthday card in the mail. I mean, there's still a chance it could be on time, but I've experience the past year or so has shown that an additional day is better now that the postal system is allowed to take two days instead of one to delivery letters within Germany. I got so distracted with my to do list and I hadn't written it down for some reason.

I've kept myself entertained with listening to podcasts that are several years old that I still open tabs for. They are about writing, fandom and random non-fandom stuff from medical issues to just people. It doesn't even try to be censor itself (unless it involves fandoms like Hannibal) and can involve a lot of ramblings and laughter. They also range from an hour to 4+ hours. I'm highly amused.

And that's it for today as my dinner is ready and I should eat before it gets even later...
