2. Me and Other Writing, by Marguerite Duras / snow day
Hit my favorite read of the year pretty early. It coincided with some sick leave from work and a spell of winter weather through our region. The prose, and circumstantial vibes, were immaculate.

5. Walks
My cholesterol was up this year, so I've been trying to get more cardio in after work most days. This mainly consists of 40 min - 1 hour long walks around my neighborhood, usually with an audio book.

You don't need me to tell you how great Getting Killed & Heavy Metal are. I did also get into Projector this year, and it's terrific.

9. Donkey Kong Bananza w/ Emerald Rush
Two of my favorite gaming moments this year were the Tempest Layer (maybe the best level of any 3D platformer ever?) & the way the music of Emerald Rush escalates with the gameplay, round by round, until ending on an ecstatic finale.
