I’ve been playing a lot of #MarvelSnap lately and the fact that nothing happened when I reached Collection Level 616 feels like such a missed opportunity

It’s a Saturday in December.
I’m walking out of my favorite movie theatre after watching a matinee about unlikely animal friendships.
The cinema has new merch, and while I didn’t buy any, I loved it all the same.
It’s snowing.
Life is perfect.

Just had someone ask me to explain the appeal of #MagicTheGathering to them and I ended up going with "Imagine a game with as much strategic depth as chess, but invented during late 20th century capitalism, so every three months they release new chess pieces to buy that do new things." #MTG

...and that's how we got to here! This weird, wonderful, hypnotic slowjam as my #1 song of 2024 per #Spotify. Music is a thing, and it lives where it needs to in our lives. Apparently this one needed to live in mine A LOT these last few months. 🤷

The installation had an original score composed for it by the band HAM, and that place gave me such a vibe that I didn't want to let it go, so I played this tune on a loop for most of my flight back. I also used it for ambience when I ran #TombofHorrors last month for three straight days.

When I was in #Iceland this Fall, I had the good fortune to check out #ChromoSapiens -- an incredible art installation by Shoplifter that was equal parts Dr. Seuss and Underdark. Here's a few pics from my visit to give you a sense. It was TREMENDOUS.

Did mostly good at avoiding the allure of #BlackFriday, but the siren’s call of 40% off Quest games proved too strong a pull. Snagged four more #mixedreality / #VR games — excited to dive in!
1. LEGO Bricktales
2. Thrasher
3. Airspace Defender
4. MiRacle Pool

I know why I shouldn’t reply to spam texts, but my new policy — just as a little treat for myself — is to reply to any I receive while enjoying a soak in the tub.

Just finished Blue Eye Samurai. Best thing I’ve seen all year. I can’t recommend it enough. My review on Letterboxd: boxd.it/5esJxh

My wife just told me that if I was a dog, I’d be a sheepdog or a herding dog of some kind because I need to get stuff done. I think it’s honestly the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about me. ❤️

Absolutely just took my best ever photo mode shot in a game. Thanks Spider-Man 2!

Not officially NaNoWriMo? But I'm finally dusting off a screenplay idea I had this summer and working on that right now. No idea if I'll ever finish it, or if it will ever see the light of day, but story creation is a DELIGHTFUL process and I'm glad to be doing it again. :)
