‘Album Released’ notifications might be my very favorite phone notifications.

Turns out I can’t resist the re-read.

I often find myself tinkering with already-published notes on this site. I initially thought of this as a confession, because at times I’ve felt that editing old posts (beyond fixing minor typos or bugs) is somehow cheating.

I finished reading Moon Witch Spider King yesterday evening.

☑ I have obtained a copy of Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, the latest album by Big Thief.

Maybe a little too excited that I managed to create a hugo shortcode to do this hide/show toggle function in any post now:

Here are some of the things I’m working on and thinking about now…

I’ve also been playing a bit of Pokémon Legends Arceus lately. Gave it to my son for his birthday recently and I guess I could say I started playing it at his urging, but truly I was just curious to try it anyway and I do kind of like it.

It’s not exactly Breath-of-the-Wild-levels of intricate open world, but I’m much more engaged by it than I was by Pokémon Shield. I probably will play some more of this game as well. (I think when my kids begged me to try Shield last year I stopped after 20-30 minutes, and I never went back to it.)

Started playing Gris tonight. Stunning and mysterious game.

There were a couple of points where I wasn’t sure if I was ‘going the right way’ or not, but it was so beautiful that I didn’t really care. So far I’ve ‘brought back’ the color red and I’ve gained the ability to make my dress into a stone block, which is super useful. Will definitely be continuing with this game.

Running log of my favorite albums and musical works released in 2022. It will be updated throughout the year, and even after.
