  • The Joel Plaskett tribute album Songs From The Gang is great, and the highlight for me is the cover of "Nowhere With You" by Alan Syliboy & The Thundermakers. Sure, it's cute to hear Sloan perform a song that references people holding a grudge that they moved away from Halifax, but singing this song partly in Mi'kmaw adds freshness to this rendition.

  • Celestine wanted to colour, so while she coloured in a cat cupcake I did a page from the free ElfQuest Coloring Book. The colour selection was limited, so it's far from accurate, but it was fun to do.

  • I got a new Voltes V shirt this week so had to take a selfie while wearing it for the first time.

  • M2M are releasing new recordings of a few of their songs and up first is their first hit, "Don't Say You Love Me". Marit Larsen went on to become an incredible songwriter and Marion Raven developed significantly as a vocalist, so I'm hoping they'll make something completely new before long too.

  • Today in Paper Apps Galaxy I met Doc Gilworth in sector 47. He gave me some shields.

  • Over the past few months I collected three metal prints for mecha-focused anime and games that were important to me.

    Time Bokan was a show I watched obsessively when I was a kid in the form of the Time Fighters dub we had. The time-traveling mecha Time Mechabuton was endlessly cool to me.

    A decade ago Xenoblade Chronicles X became my favorite video game and remains so now. Exploring Mira in a skell was a revelation and a stunning experience.

    In 2023 and 2024 I watched Super Electromagnetic Machine Voltes V at a pace of an episode each week. The themes of parental sacrifice and working class resistance resonated deeply.

  • Sector 46 wasn't too challenging thanks to some careful planning.

  • Yesterday was, of all things, a snow day for Celestine, so my Paper Apps Galaxy routine at my work desk was interrupted again as I had to work from home. Today, though, I was back to clear out sector 45.
