I really like weird date formats. The kind of stand-out alternate date format
in my mind is <a href="https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/arvelie.html">Arvelie</a>
devised by Devine Lu Linvega.
Arvelie splits the year into 26 months of 14 days each.

Arvelie splits the year into 26 months of 14 days each. The year is "when you start journaling"
which I really, very much like. It makes it a kind of relative calendar to whatever you want.
It makes it feel a little more personal, I think.
Each Arvelie month is a character in the alphabet. The year and day are zero-indexed
which means, if you started journaling in 2020, January 5rd of 2023 is 02A04.
If you've done the math, 26 * 14, you'll notice there's a day missing—or
even two for leap years! Arvelie handles this rather elegantly. The Year Day, the
last day of the year, is notated with <code>01</code>. So, with the same start year,
if it was December 31st, 2032, the date would be written was <code>12+01</code>.
