Hoping to finally finish the changes to orthography of my conlang. Then I need to go through EVERY SINGLE WORD and update the spellings as required. It will be a lot of work but hopefully it streamlines everything so I don't have to keep changing it. Also changing the tense conjugations and some other affixes.
Ouch - I hate doing the lexicon before finishing romanisation + phonology for this reason. How large is the current vocab?
Core vocab is about 700 words, because my conlang creates new words from itself easily. I could probably even cut it down to 500 if I'm clever enough (don't put money on that haha). And I did the phonology/orthography before the vocab, but when I gave it a test run, a few little things didn't work as well as I thought they would, and it's been gnawing at me for weeks. The new changes are definitely an improvement, so it's just a matter of putting in the time and effort.
Cool - then it shouldn't be too much work? (700 is still a lot, though.)
Nice to see other conlangers in Lemmy, by the way. Make sure to check out [email protected], that comm could use some activity :3
Yeah I tried the conlang places on Lemmy, and they all look pretty dead. It'd be nice to have some conlangers here to geek out with but it looks like it's just you and me at the moment.
Do you use Conworkshop?
I don't - to be frank I wasn't even aware of it.
I started with basically no linguistic knowledge so this site helped me a lot. I recommend it, even if it's to browse other people's conlangs. It's really a one-of-a-kind.
I'm going to a craft beer festival and will try to not get too drunk.
My son told me today that he is going to spend the holiday weekend with his mom. It’s a good thing as lately he has not spent much time with her. I’m sure she misses him as well.
So…
Having time to myself, I’m hoping to have some “fun” with a friend, finally spending the night with them. We’ll see where things go, but for now I am content with a physical sort of relationship 🤷🏻♀️
Edit: We just made plans to spend the evening and night together. So excited! 🥰🥰
Getting out for long walks (probably meeting a few people, not sure about that), enjoying long reading and writing sessions, having a great time with my spouse. And last but not least, spend a couple hours working on a little DIY crafting project of mine: I'm making my own index card portable case/folder and tiny writing desk all-in-one, and I hope this WE I'll be ableto finish what will be my second attempt at it.
Also, doing chores but for that I cheated a little as I already started this Friday morning ;)
-
Digging up a struggling lawn to make way for stone blocks and planter boxes and maybe a few plants in between here and there. Going to be attempting to make some stone blocks too with cement and stuff.
-
Might be meeting up with my weed guy for a smoke and whatever he's philosophising or excited about this time. Sometimes it's soccer, in which case I mostly just smile and wave; sometimes it's interesting socio-political matters.
-
And in between that, probably wanting to play a game or address my growing watch list of movies / series / pro wrestling but actually just mostly bed rotting and scrolling.
Edit: think I'm actually gonna start a new run of Burnout Paradise. Doesn't need research and wikis, maybe just a map or two. But still scratches that exploration and collecting things itch.
Edit 2: actually, now I'm thinking either Castlevania Circle of the Moon or Metroid Zero Mission.
Edit 3: so I went with Metroid Fusion first this time.
Pizza strike! I refuse to prepare pizza yet again this weekend.
Tomorrow I'll work a bit more on my pepper cross-breeding. I planted some unknown variety in my garden; the pepper itself is kind of meh, but the "tree" itself is great - huge, hardy, and it produces a lot of fruit. I'll cross it with my chocolate habanero, hopefully I'll get a huge habanero-like bush.
I also want to take care of Kika's fur. (Kika = my 16yo tabby.) Easier said than done, as she's extremely ticklish and not afraid to bite and claw you if she doesn't like what you're doing.
Beyond that... work, I guess?
Fri - night cruise for cookies √
Sat - Mtb with friends (canceled 😭)
Sun - shindig at a friend's place √
Work on my car √
Do some cleaning √
Hopefully fully recover from this cold
I've got a bunch of stuff that I need to haul out of the house tomorrow; and everything needs to go to a different corner of town, so that'll be most of my day. I've been updating my 3d printer and all that's left is firmware and final checks, so hopefully I'll have enough left in me to get that done Saturday too.
Sunday family is coming over.
Monday: nothing. Blissfully nothing.
Gardening tomorrow morning then taking a class at the gun range in the afternoon. Sunday is going to be an all-day medieval event, and Monday will be scrambling to prepare for the Pathfinder game I'm running in the evening
