Can't shave in the hospital :(
I was suddenly overcome by dizziness, which I considered moderately severe. I consider severe dizziness to be when you can't stand up at all, like after drinking vodka. I also had myoclonic tics before this, which bodes ill for the future.

Am I correct in understanding that I ended up in the hospital with a grand mal on this very International Awareness Day? Ironic XD

So... It looks like I'll be spending at least a week in this hospital. I wanted to quickly get an electroencephalogram, but it turned out that they only accept one person per day. I was scheduled for an appointment on December 9th.

Hello, people... Yesterday I had an epileptic seizure at the train station, followed by three more. I lost consciousness, but when I woke up a woman nearby had already called an ambulance for me.

I should also like to report some progress on my book — not measured by the number of pages, but by the refinement of its composition, tone, and structure.

For the moment, I am engaged in shaping the world itself and the manner of narration.

The latest news is as follows: I’ve begun translating from Japanese.

While I can’t disclose the exact title — such details are not to be made public — I have nevertheless taken my first proper step towards earning from scanlation and realising my potential as a linguist, even if through a hobby.
October 11, 2025 at 9:56 AM
Thus, dear readers, I’ve come to an important realisation — this account shall cover more than one topic.

Languages will remain at its heart, yet from time to time I’ll share bits of my work and everyday life as well.

Seems the only time my brain switches to Russian is when I’m having a bit of a self-flagellation session, lol

Had the willpower to get up a bit earlier today and wash my hair. Rather quietly chuffed with myself for that. Hoping it’ll be an uneventful day, touch wood 🫡

Read ‘goth’ as ‘god’. Don't think I'm wrong, though
September 27, 2025 at 11:20 PM
I keep coming back to the idea that I want to create something of my own connected with conlangs.
And it seems I’ve finally found what that is.

At the moment, I’m working on a format for storing language data and—here’s the exciting part—later on I’ll be building a toolkit based on CLDL.

As @pluralpolyglots.bsky.social advised...

🧊 Ég er þreyttur. Ég fer að sofa

‘Ég’ means ‘I’, but not ‘me.’
‘Er’ means ‘am’
‘Þreyttur’ means ‘tired (masc.)’
‘Fer’ means ‘am going’
‘Að‘ means ‘to’ or ‘at’
‘Sofa’ means ‘to sleep’

[S [NP Ég] [VP er [AP þreyttur]]]

Something doesn't feel right... I can't find any book about Icelandic language available at the marketplace. Except for an old book that was first published during the Russian Empire reign...

Oh, dear, I do hope this autumn brings not only suffering, but something heartening, too... The season hasn't got off on the right foot...
September 23, 2025 at 11:24 PM
Hello, my dear fellas.

I'm returning to BlueSky, given that I'm gradually recovering from a common cold. I still cough from time to time, but I'm tucking in!

The soreness has gone, though the chillier, dry air makes it a bit scratchy. That said, tea and water do the trick.
September 18, 2025 at 10:41 PM
Thought I'd share some Icelandic words I've been learning — rather chuffed with my progress so far!

- Halló = hello
- Þakk = cheers (informal)
- Já = yes
- Nei = no
- Bless = cheerio
- Vatn = water
- Brauð = bread
- Góð = good/kind

Absolutely brilliant language, isn't it?

You may have probably expected language-related posts from me when you followed me, and I will post them later on, I promise.
But for now, my focus is on coding & world-building. I'm striving to support my creative pursuit. Yet, I still already have HSK 1 Chinese right on my bookshelf!

Please, I just don’t understand. How can I explain to YouTube that I can’t stand all these Christian themes in ASMR, even though I have nothing against the religion itself?
August 24, 2025 at 9:48 PM
People who don’t know the specs and capabilities of the laptop they themselves bought—that’s just freaking ridiculous, honestly 😵‍💫

So many years have passed since I first launched Minecraft... But only now have I realised that all these years, I was mistaken.
August 20, 2025 at 5:35 PM
It’s kind of sad... I weigh 50.7 kg, but only 5% of that is fat. And actually, you need at least 10% fat for your hormones to work properly 🥹
