Working on a version of https://www.literature-map.com https://www.literature-map.com which will be used to organize scientific articles about literature. The design will look like this: https://www.gibney.de/preview https://www.gibney.de/preview The big blue arrow leads to the articles which are related to the topic in the center. Now parsing through a big German text corpus to calculate where the research topics will be placed on the map.

Finishing a whole book on dramatic plot tropes, finishing a simulator for it which is about 80% done, celebrating sister's birthday, getting my car's brake pads replaced, maybe toss the kids into the home pool on Sunday afternoon if it's a hot day.

    A bit of typo on the book - it's finish reading not writing, to be clear. The book, The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations, by Mike Figgis (not the original edition by Polti) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thirty-Six-Dramatic-Situations-Mike-Figgis-ebook/dp/B01LXFMZX8/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thirty-Six-Dramatic-Situations-Mike... It's more up to date on cinema, and takes some risks, which gives it the low rating, but I like it. Trope simulator: https://random-character-generator.com/ https://random-character-generator.com/ Hopefully there will be an update by the end of the weekend, or mid-week!

Spring cleaning my bedroom and home office. My whole life feels too cluttered and messy and the moment... Its like I’m in a rut and can’t seem to find the motivation (or passion) to start anything new. I’m hoping a clean-out might kick-start some change.

The usual. Take evening walk. Read book late night. Play some games. Order good food. Youtube and continue my journey in french new wave cinema.

Taking my child swimming, going to my allotment to dig up potatoes, and the everyday life-things I do all days (such as reading books/watching TV, doing the laundry, cooking food, etc.) Nothing special, but the weather is nice and I've got a model coming to pose for me later in the day, so it should be a fun weekend even with nothing too special happening.
