“Doodles” Cedar Park, 2026
Filling up my Hobonichi with map icons has been so much fun! It’s a great way to add some color to the page, and it gives me plenty of good practice, too. 🗺️✒️✨

“Doodles” Cedar Park, 2026
IKEA Cubbies
Bay and I visited IKEA today to pick up a few things to make our guest room feel a bit nicer. While we were there, I spotted a bunch of fun new accessories for the Kallax bookcase system. I already have a Kallax in my home office and probably have all the storage I need, but it’s still fun to see all the organization options. When I bought mine years ago, baskets were pretty much the only option, but now they have dividers, containers, and even little cubbies for cats to relax in. Really neat to see!🛋️🐱
Drawing Maps
“World Map” Cedar Park, 2026
I’ve recently started getting into drawing maps. After watching a few videos by JP Coovert and picking up a couple of his PDFs, I’ve been learning how to draw the kind of maps you see at the beginning of fantasy novels. Today’s photo shows a continent I drew. I still need to fill in all the terrain and landmarks, but I think it’s a pretty nice start for my first world map. It’s been lots of fun! 🎨📜
Favorite Movies at AFS
“Favorite Movies” Austin, 2026
Tonight Bay and I went to AFS Cinema to watch The History of Concrete. It was funny and I highly recommend it! The photo (taken by Bay) is of me pointing out my favorite movie of all time, Diva, which we had re-watched here a few years ago. In my excitement, I didn’t realize that my second favorite movie (Round Midnight) was right behind my finger! 🎬🍿

Finished Cartridge
“Finished Cartridge” Cedar Park, 2026
Despite loving stationery and pens, it’s pretty rare for me to actually use up a full pen cartridge! Today my Zento Signature finally ran out of ink. It makes sense, though – it’s my daily go-to pen for writing a page of Morning Pages, and the 0.7 mm cartridge I use lays down plenty of ink. I swapped in a fresh cartridge, so I’m officially back in business! 🖊️📖
Invisible Helix Audiobook
“Invisible Helix” Cedar Park, 2026
I finished Keigo Higashino’s Invisible Helix audiobook today. It was great! Having read a few of his books and seen movie adaptations of his work, I was confident I’d enjoy this one. Surprisingly, this was the first time I’ve listened to one of his works in audiobook form, and it made for a perfect companion on my evening walks. It was a little sad to listen to, though, knowing Higashino-san passed away recently. RIP. 🎧📚
