Assorted bullshit about video games, language, music, and some other unabashedly personal shit. And maybe some stuff that's kind of funny? I don't know. I just don't fucking know, alright? Would you give me a fucking break? Jesus, Mom.
You can also find me:
I also write Britishisms, a blog about moving to the US, and Tuneage, a music blog I co-founded. I curate Give Me Something to Read. I started Word Journal, and I occasionally contribute to The Small Picture.

This is a self-management experiment. Living by myself and reporting to no boss makes it easy to fall into a mindless routine. I have not been living up my potential as an ‘untethered creative person’. My lack of discipline has allowed me to drift into a hazy groove. I need some accountability.
Here are my “STANDARDS” for the next week. Each day, I aim to meet all of them, and will keep track of my success or failure.
- Eat each meal within 1 hour of 9:30, 1:30, & 8:00
- One 3-hour creative block
- One 1-hour book reading block
I really like Jake’s STANDARDS experiment — save for the annoying capitalisation. Like Jake, I’m relatively untethered (insofar as I’m an unemployed bum for the time being) — though my creativity is questionable — and I tend to find it difficult to make productive use of my free time without some sort of forced routine. I like how this differs from most GTD systems, in that it’s a lot less demanding — rather than telling you what to do, it merely requires that you do something.
