kk hi it seems that i have neglected updating this site so i decided to share what i aspire to do in 2024 (even though its almost march):

summarized:
- read more
- update this site visually
- grow veggies

## 1. Read

### Read in Bulgarian
- Read Dostoevsky (all of it in bulgarian though couldnt find em in english):
  - finished notes from a dead house (i give it 4/5 ☆)
  - currently reading crime and punishment
  - to read:
    - white night
    - the double
    - notes from the underground and the goombler
    - the adolescent (or raw youth)
    - humiliated and insulted
    - the idiot
    - demons
    - the brothers karamazov

### Read in English
- in english (physical books)
  - the adventures of tom sawyer
  - the adventures of hickelberry finn
  - animal farm
  - 1984
  - anna karerina

### Read in Japanese
- in japanese (nothing physical, just epubs and vinnies)
  - currently reading - サクラノ詩 (vinnie)
  - to read afterwards - サクラノ刻 (vinnie)
  - 小説 series im currently reading is ようこそ実力至上主義の教室へ, currently on the 4th linnie 

get to 3k kanji is my other goal - currently 12 off (*ding ding ding hit 3k on 3.3.24*). my japanese has really suffered these past 2 years. ive barely read or watched anything cuz i had no time after work but i think i can manage it now. at the very least i want to finish both visual novels. if i do, i'll update this page to whatever my next vinnie is gonna be

## 2. Update how this site looks

i gotta make this site look better. it's a hodgepodge of ideas and stuff, i really like the aesthetic of regrow.earth so maybe something similar with a hint of my unique autism... we'll see we'll see

one thing i wish hugo introduces is the ability to hide all footnotes in:

```html
<details>
  <summary><strong>Footnote 27</strong> (or whatever)</summary>
  <p>Grossman, p. 48, col. 3; p. 49, col. 1 (“the future beyond the Singularity is not knowable”). Vance, p. 7, col. 4. See Kurzweil, pp. 420, 424.</p>
</details>
```

Example:
<details>
	<summary><strong>Footnote 27</strong> (or whatever)</summary>
	<p>Grossman, p. 48, col. 3; p. 49, col. 1 (“the future beyond the Singularity is not knowable”). Vance, p. 7, col. 4. See Kurzweil, pp. 420, 424.</p>
</details>

how cool would that be? instead of having to scroll through 5 monitor lengths of footnotes

i even managed to style this bad boy 

```css
summary::marker {
  color: var(--strong);
}

details p {
  padding-left: 2em;
}
```

i saw this used by [heaventree.xyz](https://heaventree.xyz) and i thought it was done with alotta css and or javascript but i guess not. cool


## 3. Real world
and finally for the real world:
- i got promoted at work so i guess thats done now
- grow a shitton of veggies this year

anywho, i'll try and keep this page up to date. good luck with ur goals and have a blessed day!
