1. Posted a translation. During lunch, versified the literal prose of another poem, and worked out a literal prose draft of a third. Very productive. On a side-project, finally threw up my hands and polished into verse the literal prose for a poem I just don’t understand (and can’t find commentaries for). The result is not a poem but it’s all I can do.

2. Roughed out a plan of tasks for reviewing the draft collection. Established which device had the actual most recent version of the master draft and BACKED THAT FUCKER UP TO DRIVE WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALL THIS TIME ARGH.

Ahem. Not that I have STRONG FEELINGS about proper document controls. Nope.

3. Plinked the ukulele for about 10 minutes, stopping after it was clear that my fingers were still too sore from the three-hour uke meetup the day before.


Overall: Not bad at all, in part driven by the enthusiasm of a new month of getting shit done.

Okay, sound triumph:

Generic goals (GG):
 

It took a while, but I managed to force myself to sketch the first fanwork (I had been doing research and making studies and stuff, but hadn't started to actually work on it) and I'm moderately pleased with the composition. Very dynamic, which is something I'm not usually very good at. We'll see if I manage to keep that spirit in the definitive pic. I'd like to start working on it today, although I need to check with the fest first because I have a doubt about the lack of romance when the fest is shippy in nature.

I also "worked out". I mean, I biked to the swimming pool only to realize I had forgotten the stupid card, so I biked back, ate lunch, drew for a bit and biked there again. Swam for 20 minutes because it was already very late and biked back. So I think that counts as exercise, because it's not exactly close (not extremely far away, either, but all the going back and forth makes it more than an hour in total).

Bonus goals (BG):
 

I also cleaned a part of the bike that was literally full of shit (birdshit, mind you. Happens when you park under a tree) and also cleaned the filter of a tap at home. I also cleaned half of the bathroom, which is still better than none of it.
