  [Link to Opensea] It is the last day of January already. This month was kinda rough, started off big but couldn't really sustain my 'above average' expectations. Thankfully I think I'm in a better position now compared to last week, but I still have times when I don't want to do anything. And going for a walk in the morning is just over now - maybe I can continue when it gets warmer, and when I can wake up earlier, regularly. I really need to read more though. And stop procrastinating.

  [Link here!] I felt like shit until just now. I wrote my diary in Naver Blog, which is more preferable since expressing my feelings/emotion descriptively in English is always a second option. I wish I was more fluent in English... It's probably because I don't know enough vocabulary in the first place. And, not reading enough English literature. Teachers and parents always emphasize about how reading is so important, yet I can only realize the true importance of reading when I experience difficulties myself... Not saying that I am going to read a lot of English books from now on though, I'd rather read a lot of Korean books and just study English vocabulary a bit. I'm too tired to do such stuff, and I don't have the time or the money. Maybe this is an excuse, not maybe, but probably. Anyway writing a diary certainly helps normalize one's mood, releasing the emotions and thoughts through words. I think I've found out a few things to do when I feel depressed...

  [Link to Opensea] Friday already! How time flies fast. This week we had a lot of earnings report from various companies like Tesla, Microsoft, LVMH and so on. Surprisingly they had pretty good earnings than expected, which made the markets soar up high. But Apple, Amazon, and Google are yet to report their earnings - probably next week if I remember correctly. I wonder how the tech sector will perform(or rather, have performed?) in general. I hope the stock market doesn't crash, but at the same time I hope they get a bit cheaper so I can invest a bit more. I find it really hard to buy more when the stocks I have purchased have already gone up by a far margin. Which is a very stupid thing because momentum exists in stocks - but as a human being I cannot be entirely rational. Being a good investor is harder than I thought. It is hard to buy more when everything is falling, and yet when it goes up it is also hard to buy more.

  [Link to Opensea] Today I watched a youtube video called 'The first horror movie written entirely by bots'. It was an ai-written script, which means it cannot be good... at least for now. It surely was a comedy gold, but I could catch some of the references that it had for generating the 'horror movie' plot. I'm definitely not a film geek, so I probably missed several well-known horror films - but here's some I could discern: 1. Saw series 2. I know what you did last summer 3. Interview with a vampire 4. Friday the 13th And finally here's the youtube video. It surely is funny, but I wonder what this will become in 10-20 years from now on. I mean ai has proved itself capable of doing artsy stuff (stable diffusion, Dall.E, etc) AI being used for creative stuff, will it be able to 'create' something that everyone enjoys from tons of references? I kinda doubt it now but... if music/movie/gaming industry gets disrupted by ai it would certainly cause a v...

<Link to Opensea > The colors remind me of a certain brand, but I can't recall which one... Anyway Microsoft missed its earnings. Is this going to be the reverse trend downwards for the market? Everyone is guessing that the stock market is going to go up until April, according to history and data. I still remember last year (especially October~December) people saying 2023's first quarter is going to be awful. Does the sentient and the actual market have a inverse correlation? But that also seems impossible since everyone would replicate the same sell-buy action if they all believed this theory. Hmm, I guess I only know that I don't know anything about the future.
