It\u2019s getting annoying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"text-decoration:line-through\" class=\"\">Make a standard template for different categories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"text-decoration:line-through\" class=\"\">Do SOMETHING about how itty-bitty featured images can be<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"text-decoration:line-through\" class=\"\">Clear out my backlog<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Add a page for recommended reading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Add a page about webcomics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Zine library additions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"text-decoration:line-through\" class=\"\">Focus on media I own instead of the library, where I routinely borrow too many books and then go a little bit insane trying to read them in time when I have a physical library that is maybe 30-40% read and a digital library spanning thousands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Nice job, me. Thanks, me. I have the zine section prepped, but I haven&#8217;t put it on the main page yet because I haven&#8217;t really come up with a pleasing way to arrange the default page layout. Webcomics will have to come with my personal web pruning\u2014 I got a lot of comics to pull and I haven&#8217;t gotten around to it yet in the midst of all the other shit on my list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">That said, we&#8217;re doing good on the physical media front. Here&#8217;s a handy chart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clorinspats.com\/mediamenagerie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-27-071716.png?resize=601%2C372&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clorinspats.com\/mediamenagerie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-27-071716.png?w=601&amp;ssl=1 601w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clorinspats.com\/mediamenagerie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-27-071716.png?resize=300%2C186&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As of the initial writing of this, I own 662 books, disregarding doubles. I do have like&#8230; four copies of Pride and Prejudice, and at least three of White Fang. That&#8217;s on purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I also find myself in the unique position where I have already read most of the books on my shelves, due in part to the policy of only buying what I&#8217;ve read or heard of. A chunk of the &#8220;no&#8221; section is actually field guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">(Maybe I should consider adding genre to the data? Perhaps over the weekend.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In any case, I&#8217;ve been doing fairly well keeping up, and we&#8217;ve got a solid start to the year with at least 15 books finished out of the 200. I&#8217;ve split the difference in the progress bar displayed on yonder sidebar\u2014 100 light novels, 100 books. I may add another bar for comics completed in the year, because <em>that<\/em> typically makes my yearly count burst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">So here&#8217;s the upcoming to-do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Add a page for recommended reading\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">I should consider why I want this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Add a page about webcomics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Zine library additions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">An &#8220;other&#8221; category for miscellaneous media? Or just add podcasts to the category list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Prune the genres and arrange the collections to make sense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Remove the current trope guide, to be replaced by the clickable tropes.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Finish adding the trope descriptions to each archive page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Can I add pictures to the archive pages, or will I have to make unique pages for the ones where I want to add pictures?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Consider adding a chart for the digital media I own.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Contemplate: Star Trek. Do I do it by season or by episode?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">That&#8217;s a sizeable enough list for me. This isn&#8217;t a chore yet, and I like looking at what I got. Ain&#8217;t barely no one looking so I get to do whatever the fuck I want. Yeehaw<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The February check in.
