  • Sector 9 of this Paper Apps Galaxy was another easy victory.

  • I made short work of Sector 4 today in Paper Apps Galaxy. I probably should have done the sectors in order, because these early ones are a breeze compared to the batch I did most recently.

  • Anne of Green Gables is the quintessential book from here in The Maritimes. I've experienced the story all my life as TV shows, and when I visited Prince Edward Island as a kid I marveled at the related sites there.

    Tonight I started to read the book for the first time. I was struck by the early line, "This Island is the bloomiest place. I just love it here already, and I am so glad I’m going to live here."

    After I finish the novel, I have a couple comics adaptations of it that I want to read.

  • I was back to winning in Paper Apps Galaxy today.

  • My chair at work is directly below a skylight. I often take it for granted but this morning I find myself looking up at the blue sky and little patch of cloud-like snow more often.

  • I had my first failed sector in Paper Apps Galaxy, failing to destroy a ship on my last roll in Sector 39. I knew it would be a tough one, so I spent time upgrading my ship before going there. On to collect the last warp drive pieces.

    Leetah from @elfquest

    I picked up ElfQuest as a kid back in the 90s.
    Even after I couldn't find the Norwegian issues anymore, I forced myself to learn English to keep reading the original version.
    The story is a timeless classic I still enjoy reading today.

    Fanart of Leetah from ElfQuest. She's wearing her original outfit from the first five issues of the original quest, a blue dress, red top and golden jewelry.

    @Dadaph I loved ElfQuest when I discovered it as a kid and started collecting issues. I've continued to follow it all my adult life. I'm looking forward to reading the new coloured versions that start releasing in two weeks.

  • I first really committed to community online with LiveJournal. I had some really wonderful relationships that spun out of connecting with people there, including a girlfriend who shaped a lot of my early adulthood.

    I stayed connected with a bunch of them when Facebook became the platform most of us moved to, but as most of us stopped using that actively we've mostly lost touch.

    I logged into my LiveJournal account today for a bit of nostalgia. I wonder if anyone has made it over to the fediverse and how I might find them to reconnect.

  • Watching this video about Shulie, a small, abandoned village here in Nova Scotia was engrossing. Nova Scotia has many former communities like this one tucked into rural areas throughout the province.
