Bookbinding

A month or so back, this guy's channel popped up out of the blue and he's been slowly yet steadily pumping out content. He's not showing anything new or revelationary to me, but there's enough variation in the techniques he's sharing that I find his videos worth watching. What I particularly appreciate about his videos is that unlike a lot of bookbinding "tutorials" I see on YouTube, he clearly knows what he's doing and what goes into making a lasting, sturdy book. My only wish is, and this goes for most of the videos out there, is that he'd spend as much time discussing the whys of techniques as he does the hows. Regardless, when people ask me for good videos on the subject, he's going to be among my first recommendations.

Jobs

I have a job interview lined up that I'm getting ready for. The timing literally couldn't be better. It's scheduled on the same week where I finally get some days off work, so not only do I have a day where I can actually go to an interview, I also have some time to prepare. The job itself isn't ideal, but the pay is better and it's significantly closer to home, so I think it's a good stop gap as I continue to search for something that I think more closely aligns with who I am as a person and how I want to live in this world of ours.

The Woods

I think tomorrow, I'm gonna take a long, quiet, solo walk in the woods. It might be the fact that I have the windows open right now and can hear the summer cicadas, but I think nature's calling.
