Year in Review: 2024

The year passed faster than expected. Looking back, nothing particularly remarkable comes to mind. However, as I start writing, I’m beginning to recall a few things.

Movies #

Not all movies, let’s be honest, were good, and not all of them have been released in theaters or online yet.

The best of 2024 includes some of 2023 due to differences in release dates across regions.

Music #

Random Photo of the Year #

Sports #

The most effective training took place in March — 10 sessions.

Despite the fact that most sets were in the bench press (117), the main focus was on legs, arms, and back. Although, I wouldn’t say that. I often noticed that I was cutting corners and not fully pushing myself. This is especially true for legs, and in the last few months — for my back as well.

I also want to remind that all of this happens in my apartment, and I lack certain equipment, like a leg press machine (it’s not essential, but it was convenient in the gym), and of course, weight plates, which I still haven’t bought.

Notable Items #

• KNIPEX Cobra XS Pliers
• UGREEN GaN 65W Charger (2 USB-C / 1 USB-A)
• Refreshing HAER Lime Flavor Candies 15g

Hardest Image of the Year #

Meditation #

I’ve already written in the journal about several meditation techniques. Earlier this year, I had a break from late April to early December. In any case, the data is based on previous months and the last few weeks.

Losses of the Year #

• Texas Chicken.
• “Savushkin” Stracciatella Yogurt, 2%, 350g.

Interesting, But Not Published #

On March 22, Lisa and I picked up a gecko (eublefar), which we decided to name Theodore Kaczynski, or simply Ted. But just recently, I had the thought that the name Phil Collins might suit him as well.

Achievements #

1. Composed the soundtrack for the film Three Aliens.
2. Organized the digital library.
3. Created an electronic cookbook to avoid wasting time thinking about what to cook.
4. Finally set up automation for backing up important documents and files.
5. Designed an embroidery pattern, and Lisa embroidered the ignatuque.xyz logo on a sweatshirt.
6. Overhauled the structure of ignatuque.xyz.

Failures #

1. The script for the short film Someone Somewhere Said Something, and It Happened was written, but production never started. There are several reasons for this:
   • The story involves at least 8 people. This creates very complex time management challenges, even among those who don’t need to be convinced to participate, due to different life schedules.
   • Lack of equipment. While this doesn’t have a major impact, psychologically, it complicates the process, especially for me, and somewhat affects my desire to do everything perfectly.

Plans for 2025 #

• Consider launching a digest or curated newsletter.
• Think about bringing back the irregular podcast.
• Launch a new music project.
• Set up a home server.
• Pay more attention to pelvic floor exercises.
