The Changelog – November 2024

The one when I won NaNoWriMo (again) and did little of anything else.

A golden autumnal tree I met during a walk in the park.

It was a more stable month, where I focused on NaNoWriMo and on training my writing muscle once again. I read a lot less, but I still had some good movies and series to recommend.

The Changelog – October 2024

Some of the best days of the year and some pretty miserable ones.

The Chessboard Square of Marostica, a town in Veneto, Italy.

Another month with some wild ups and downs. I spent 5 days in Veneto, and they were wonderful days. I stumbled my way through the rest of the month. I finished the Star Trek: Vanguard series, watched a lot of Japanese spooky movies, and played a bit of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. And because I am fond of soundtracks, and I spent a lot of time listening to Bear McCreary’s compositions.

The Changelog – September 2024

Or, how I lost the thread of September.

A confusing and long staircase.

September was a month of ups and downs. At least, I read a lot of books. I watched Laura, The Post, and a lot of other movies. I listened to prograssive music and I played Castlevania Dominus Collection and Shogun Showdown.

The Changelog – August 2024

Edinburgh, Buñuel, and the end of the year

Finally, I was able to travel again! I spent four days in Edinburgh, and recharged for the “New Year”. But I also read two books, some wonderful Buñuel movies, and listened to all the amazing new music we got in August. It was a good month! So let’s check it out.

The Changelog – July 2024

The month that wasn't

July was a very annoying month. I was tired, my arm was hurting, and the weather was unbearable. Still, surprisingly, something happened. Three boks, 18 movies, and two games.

The Changelog – June 2024

The "worst month" ended up being better than expected. But it had to hit me with a flu.

Here in Italy, in June 2024, we had a lot of desert sand in the sky. This is basically how it felt doing errands for most of this month.

In the last issue, I lamented May’s lack of passion and my inability to connect with anything in particular. In June, instead, I caught up with everything. I got very invested in many things. I loved tons of movies, and I lost myself (and spent too much money) in a lot of different music genres.

The Changelog – May 2024

The "worst month" ended up being better than expected. But it had to hit me with a flu.

May was better than expected. Even if I had to deal with a week of flu. I read two books, watched 36 movies, binged the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, and listened to a lot of music. I also started playing Tunic.

The Changelog – April 2024

If I could summarize April 2024 it would be: 'it was nice, but it could have been better.'

Let’s see the three books I read in April 2024, the ending of Fallot and Shogun, a beautiful Japanese movie, and a never-ending album with 32 tracks. All that in a slowly declining mood. Hurray!

The Changelog – March 2024

Writing, reading, watching movies, and making music: at a very slow pace. And that's fine.

March flew by in a blink. For good reasons: I had some interesting work projects I focused on, and I spent the rest of the time reading, watching movies, and making music. While there were things I wanted to write (I have three rough blog posts drafts), it was a nice pace.

The Changelog – February 2024

Or, how I wathched more movies than ever in the shortest month of the year.

Let’s explore the events from last month! I’ll discuss why I moved my website back to my hosting server, how I watched more movies than I did in the last three years combined, the three books I read, DJ Rozwell’s roguelike album, and more.
