Played another game of Ark Nova today with Matty. It's such a fantastic 2 player game. I used the Artificial Intelligence alternative map for the first time and I think it might be really fucking powerful. Also got to enjoy our new Folded Space insert, make putting the game away very smooth.

I'm standing in my university elections as VP communities! I think I could make some good things happen if I got voted in.

Just home from the Sub-Radio gig and it absolutely blew me away. Incredible performance and message.

We got Dog Park for Christmas and gave it a spin today. Nice little game. Quite shallow, strategically, but speedy, fun, and extremely cutely designed.

23rd of December is art day. No more to be said about this really, it's glorious.

Day 21 and it's a surprise within a surprise! A Magic the Gathering booster for each of the sets we've enjoyed together. They are so expensive these days that this day was one of the over-budget days but never mind.

It's the 19th and that means Twisters. Twister is one of Matt's fave movies and that came earlier. Handily we watched it last night! We missed this when it was in the cinema which is a big shame but we'll have another movie night soon.

Day 18 and this is the gift from the advent calendar I most wanted to keep for myself. A comic from Sad Ghost Club called Still Trying, which really fits the year Matt has had.

Today, day 18, is this thing! It's a mushroom brush! We eat a lot of mushrooms and I don't like it when they're dirty so maybe this was more of a gift for me than him 😅

Day 15! This nifty little keyring. I got Matt a keyring 2 years ago but it has disintegrated :( so this is the new offering.
December 16, 2024 at 8:52 AM
I forgot to share day 15 earlier, forgive me I'm hella sick with a head cold.

It's this The National lyric print. Baby we'll be fine.

Sorry for the bad photo I made Matt go upstairs and take it for me.

Day 14 is this magnificent pair of socks. Matt would have a nap every day if he could.

More chocolate for day 13! I've done remarkably well spacing the chocolate, he just ran out of the previous bar yesterday and the same thing happened with the last one too. A good distribution.
