Some day I have to stop being depressed, or they need to invent self-folding laundry.

Such a great job making me love a character that, on paper, I want to hate.

Soundtrack was top notch.

I don't even care for table tennis.

Finished one, starting the other. Guessing my way through my project's Appendix N.

Will 2026 be the year I run a tabletop campaign that isn't just a vehicle for goofy bits?

One Battle After Another is amazing. The Warriors is my favorite of this list though (despite the version I watched had comic book transitions which I didn't love)

Movie day:
-Ratcatcher (my heart hurts)
-The Warriors (am I too old to join a gang??)
-Licorice Pizza (In progress)
-One Battle After Another (on deck)

Watching movies in one sitting is a luxury I rarely find time for. Time to make hay!

This year was full of great games. At the 11th hour I've discovered Dispatch is my personal GOAT (2025).

Such a blast.

Having folks over tomorrow to play Arkham Horror (2E, ow my nostalgia!).

It is only fitting that my attempt at making macarons resulted in formless monstrosities.

I beat Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Super fun but as an old man my hands are now withered, fingerless stumps.

Normally I wait until I finish reading to post a bit about the book I'm reading but this moment was too fucking good.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Not exactly an undiscovered gem but amazing to read.

I am not a proud man by nature but sometimes I'm just really satisfied with a dumb joke I made weeks ago and I take time to revisit it.

Been derelict in my reading reports.

-The Devils, Joe Abercrombie. I liked it well enough by the end, but I found the dialogue too quippy for my taste.

-Ancillary Justice, Ann Leckie. Man, it took me a while to get going but once I did I could not stop.

-When Gravity Fails, George Effinger. Ehh.

How's it compare to the previous two? I liked the first quite a bit but I struggled a bit with the second one.
