I took a break from this site during December to work on other stuff or to just give me more time to relax a bit. I now have a little backlog of things I want to post about so my site should pick up a bit hopefully.

I want to start out looking back at the resolutions I set for last year.

See my friend

Towards the end of last year we finally made plans to see eachother again. I stopped by his home in the university town where we met. Got to see his kids for the first time. All very nice and I hope this lowers the barriers to making future plans to hang out more again!

Pay attention to live shows

I went to two shows!

• Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Had a great time.

• VNV Nation. Had a great time there too!

Go on a Roller Coaster trip

I did this and loved it, despite all the head injuries I ended up accumulating.

Ditch Facebook

I deleted my Facebook not long after posting last year’s resolutions. It was easy and I recommend anyone reading this to do the same.

Keep doing stuff with Blender

I pulled this off too, unfortunately it was mostly as part of a side project that I want to keep segregated from my main site so it has not resulted in much art I ended up posting on this site. In fact, I only posted one animation on here. It is a really cool animation though, you should check it out.

Resolutions for this year

The only thing that comes to mind is that I want to get better at drawing and 2D art in general, so I’m making that my only resolution. The rest of my energy will be spent on maitaining the good habits of last year’s resolutions, because they were really the sources of all the highlights of 2025 for me.

Thank you for reading and I wish you a good 2026, despite it all.
