It is actually 'safer' to write in terminal in nano in terms of keeping the file saved. This is because when you accidentally close it, nano saves whatever is typed in a file in the home folder. You can just close the terminal without saving for example, and then nano would have whatever is that you've written saved somewhere I said earlier. That's good. 

Also, because it's so basic, you can just focus on writing. Editing later. This is the ideal situation, besides of course, having the motivation to write in the first place. Right now this has been the main problem of mine. I definitely should start writing once more. If only to not have the writing muscles atrophy to the point where I am no longer able to use them. That'd be terrifying.

I could begin by writing reviews of the series and movies that I have been watching lately. Not even that, maybe just have the 1500 words daily requirement again, or something. Maybe not even that. Maybe I would just have a terminal fill up the entire half left of the laptop's screen, and then just stop whenever I have filled that space. 

Earlier I shared in an anonymous online forum my story idea years ago about the apocalyptic wasteland where desperate people trap angels in order to have something to eat. It felt good having written it out, even if it's just one paragraph. I have often said that I wrote because I have terrible memory. When I write then I no longer have to remember it, because it's already out there somewhere. I would just have to recall where I wrote it, and there's the entire thing. Maybe I could write myself out of existence. Or at least out of consciousness. Just a mindless jellyfish floating in a primordial sea. 

Occupying myself with monitoring myself after the biologics medication. Also by trying out optimizations in the operating system I've been using, or rather the desktop environment of the operating system I've been using. I should have used Cinnamon years ago. But my hard-headedness has kept me tied to Mate. Finally, the mounting error with the internal and external drives led me to trying out another desktop environment to see if the situation is better. And it turned out yes, and this has been one of the great things that happened this year so far, besides trying out the biologic medication, besides purchasing the Sanwei 75 ALC.

It's such a great blade. The outer layer is very hard, dense and stiff. You don't need to varnish it. It soaks up a lot of glue though, so better to follow the old rule of thumb that 'it's better to over-glue than to under-glue.' Paired it with Friendship 729 Battle 2. Earlier it had Yinhe Big Dipper in it. Initial rubber was okay, but a bit heavy as it was cut to the bigger-headed Butterfly Kaii Yoshida blade. Got bored with it, and so tried 729 Battle 2 on it, and now it's my main blade. Control is amazing. Feel is amazing. Maybe the handle is a bit small, but that's okay. Backhand is the RITC Geospin, another Friendship rubber. What I like about it is it's so linear and basic and light. Maybe even lighter than Loki Rxton 1.
