Welcome to William (Liam) Mysterious Woodard's corner of the internet. Right now it's themed as a wizard tower. Before that it was themed as personnel quarters on a space station. I don't expect to retheme it soon, but one day I'm sure I will.
So to find your way here, you may have sat down to a cute table and chair set after having gravity shift on you considerably. If so, please enjoy a beverage of your choice which has appeared on the coaster in front of you while reading this text off of a leaflet you found on the table.
You may have taken a look at the pinboard in my study, in which case feel free to realize that behind and around each highlight listed here are copious notes and design scribbles where I sort out the details.
Or you found your way here from the greater web, maybe we met on fedi, or perhaps you found me on the now page directory run by Derek Sivers, who inspired this page's creation. In which case, welcome to this choose your own adventure style silliness.
I've been dealing with a sequence of minor injuries, first my wrist, and now the deltoids of the same arm. Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation are the name of the game! I'm currently very frustrated by how little this means I can currently do, but I'm enjoying noodling with the look of the website between rounds of ice.
Work on the library continues. We've framed out the storage bench we're building to cover interesting choice to have the top section of an I-beam above floor level along one wall. We've cut some plywood we found in the basement to size for the top of the bench, next is adding some quarter round trim, and then staining it!
For that round of cuts, we needed to get a better blade for our old circular saw, which was fantastic. I also learned how to care for said blades, which was a whole lot of #MasculineJoy feels for me. Turns out I love the smell of 3in1 oil!
My current media obsession is watching The Closet Historian https://youtu.be/channel/UCbH0Fj-R756TzpRohxfqKVA on youtube, after a friend on fedi shared her opening to her new Drafting Dangerous series, learning a ton about pattern drafting, really enjoying the looks she's put together, and feeling inspired by her renovations to her new house!
..I also just did a rewatch of Steven Universe, so if you hear me muttering in a singsong way under my breath, there's a good chance it's something Rebecca Sugar wrote.
I've been trying to strike a balance between keeping up with current events and not destroying my mental health.
.. As a trans person living in the USA, this has been a struggle.
So, if you're sitting in the lounge at the top of the stairs, it's probably time to Choose a doorway.
If you're looking at my pinboard, find something else in the study to look at.
If you've only just arrived, I encourage you to begin at the beginning.
