Binging on Designated Survivor for the last two days did my sleep no good. Noon is very much too late to wake up at. It's an exciting series with good characters, though.

Haven't moved out yet. Haven't looked for an apartment since last Wednesday, either: taking care of the post-repair garbage and throwing old furniture away is a slow and tender process for me. I'm guided by the sense of obligation rather than interest in my well-being, even though I can barely find it in me to care about the apartment anymore.

Frankly, I like how it turned out after the clean-up. Almost makes me want to consider not leaving.

Took apart a rack and made myself a poor man's Kendo sword. It's probably fragile. I'll see if I get to test that soon. Need some sort of a decorative tape to distinguish the handle.

Started Hubski comment redesign, following a point mentioned by Devac: comments on Hubski can get big and clumsy. I have an idea on how to solve it. Expect noticable changes. Have to say, though: Hubski's HTML markup — the code that makes the page structure — sucks. No clue why it even compiles. Wading through the miserable field took a couple hours just to make it workable. If there's to be a upgrade, it would have to start from HTML.

ROSA and writing

Found out that the two worlds I was going to merge are incompatible. One's pure fantasy, another's down-to-earth story. That said, the fantasy aspect of it — and my recent romance with Tyranny — gave me an idea on what to make of the first, not-Rosa fantasy story.

My problem is — I have decent characters and cool settings in my head but can rarely make the plot work. I figure out cool persons and then try to figure out how to fit them in. It's why plots take so damn long. I think it's because I can rarely relate to most characters. There's one character I understand, and he's just about me in different circumstances.

That said, I've figured out the premise for Rosa. It's dope. Figuring out Rosa, herself. She's cool.
