So... this is how my 2025 looks like in music speak. A vibrant tapestry... That's 12.7k (!) streams broken down 😅
In other words: I really appreciate the services of Tidal.

📷 this is so accidentally artsy I'm not sure I like it. But it was dark this morning and I've got a new phone with a camera I don't know how to use (so for a while I'll attempt many weird things to test it). And so it goes.

📚 Saint Death's Daughter (C S E Cooney)
I'm a couple of chapters in and really enjoying the absurd combination of macabre and humour. Why did I wait this long to start it? Oh that's right: 692 pages 😅
Here's to hoping I finish it before 2026.

📷 silhouette trees
The morning sky was so bright the trees felt mostly like massive silhouettes. It suits the day well: a promise of a quiet weekend after a long, difficult week.

I haven't been prioritising reading books this year as I wanted to focus on other things (most importantly my health), so I set a modest '25 books' goal - 2 weeks per book. No stress 😌
I found adventure and comfort when needed, and that's what matters. Might stick with 25 for 2026 🤔

I've been side eyeing the Sleeping Gods games for months now. Uncertain if the mechanics are for me, I decided to get primeval peril (because it's significantly cheaper in case it's not for me 😅).
So now I must go on a dangerous jungle river adventure. Wish me luck.

The best way to chase away a chaotic week is to go for a walk by the water. I wish I could always walk around surrounded by salty, fresh air 🌊❤️

One good thing about Daylight Savings is that I got to see and feel the morning sun on my way to work this morning. But the joke's on me: it usually doesn't last more than a week or two and we're back to morning darkness commute again 🥴

Today is an AQUA Rove kind of day. Why stop at 7 missions? I went for them all and was only one move (two with that specific movement card) away from completing all 11 missions.
...I think it's time to crack open the unexplored land of expansions for this one 👀

Here's something odd: I really enjoy this book, but at the same time I'm not sure I'll finish it. It's a bit too Weird+Horror so I might get satiated long before I reach the end. But what I do read, I'll enjoy. 🤷

It's not black and white 👀 just a very mild morning blue and the sharp yellow white of the early sun.
Would be nice for the same clarity in my mind...

🎲 Everdell Duo, solo
Managing two coop hands feels useless when they don't have different skills. Enter, house rule: combine the two hands. It ruins the theme of two mayors building one grand city together, but the game is still a Frustratingly Awesome Efficiency Machine type of game.

I had a sleepless night a while back and got stuck on board game sites. I found the Tyrant's End expansion for Unstoppable and on a whim I got Creature Caravan as well. A game that makes zombies *cute* by calling them Ember Zombies? 😍
Question: Does it deliver? 👀

Last year I started my review of The Book That Wouldn't Burn with 'Oh fuck'.
I meant to start book two immediately but got distracted by all the other good books. But now it's time 😍 I have big expectations for the rest of The Library Trilogies.

I found this little gem a while back, but haven't tested it yet: the ROVE Dive Mode card that combines both games. Win 14 missions and become the Ultimate Amphibious Explorer! A spatial puzzle nerd, I succeeded without drama. Always nice to shut up the brain for a good half hour 😍
