Things I love to do but have not had time to but I’m going to try and do better:
1. Listen to podcasts
2. Play #solojournalRPGs
3. Listen to audio books
4. Play video games
I’m sure there is more but these are the things that help me relax the most.

I let my stubble grow a bit more than usual and just shaved it off tonight. Now I have the sensation that my face is missing something.

A TV show that ended too soon and on a very sad note was Dinosaurs on ABC. I know people fondly (or not) remember Baby Sinclair, but it was also a pretty sharp sitcom in its own right.

After such a great #BobsBurgers episode last time (that final scene still kills me), I’m not sure how I feel about last nights Christmas ep. I understand the disappointment of not getting what you hoped for, but something just felt off.

Seeing bad things about Kraven. As someone who liked Venom and (please don’t judge me) sort of enjoyed Madame Web, I’m wondering if this will be the same situation. Side note: Haven’t seen Morbius yet.

Been seeing some good discussions about the use of generative AI in TTRPGs. It seems the consensus is (and I fall into this camp as well) that customers are strongly against using AI for generating art, etc. —and many refuse to buy a product that does. Something for developers to keep in mind.

My 70s/80s #tvmovie journey continues. This time it’s Crowhaven Farm, an atmospheric chiller about a couple who inherit a farmhouse with a sinister history. The trappings of tv horror are evident, however this one is driven by a sense of dread and a twist ending that makes it worth a watch.
