• Things keep happening – 02 October 2024

  On a few occasions, I’ve seen a meme saying something like “Adult life is just saying ‘But after this week things will hopefully calm down a bit’ until you die”, and honestly, that’s been my life to a T since I wrote my last blog post. I’ve had lots of stuff to do over the last few weeks, and most of it has been fun. That said, every time I think things have calmed down, something new has inevitably turned up. It’s been a relief to have two days where the only important things I’ve had to do outside of work have been sending a few emails.

• Fixing up the apartment: Part 1 of many – 20 August 2024

  I’ve been living in this apartment for around three and a half years by now – and I still think that’s kind of crazy to think about.

This is also the only apartment I’ve lived two years or longer in since I moved out of my childhood home. I lived in my first “apartment” (which was just a bedroom and bathroom I rented in an old couple’s larger apartment, but it was nice) for pretty much exactly a year, and then I had two student apartments where I lived for one year and nine months and one year and ten months, respectively.

• Vacation's end – 10 August 2024

  My three-week vacation is almost at its end, and I’m going back to work on Monday. Of course, I do feel a bit sad about it, just like I often do on Sunday evenings, or on the final day of summer vacation when I was younger. That said, I don’t dread it that much. I do like my job, even if some projects are less fun than others, and for the last few months, I’ve been working on a very fun project. I hope I’ll get to tell you all about it later, but the world of game translation is a strange place.
