  • Having Kenny Omega back wrestling is such a joy. Hearing the WhatCulture folks discuss his return match at Wrestle Dynasty has brought a smile to my face thinking of the magic being back.

    I can't wait to see Kenny return to AEW and light it up in a way only Adam Page and Will Osprey have approached for me in the past year.

  • Celestine asked to go to Point Pleasant Park today. It was very cold, but it's still a beautiful spot for a quick walk to the beach and back. We're lucky to have a bus route from our house to the park so that it's easy to spend an hour there and rush home to warm up.

  • In 2024 I ran 681.66 km. Most of my runs last year we're heading home after work, and I definitely had lulls due to weather. I'm hoping to keep more consistent this year and have winter slow me down less.

  • I listen to podcasts through Pocketcasts and my recap surprised me a bit.

    Even at my usual 2x speed, the 145 days listening seems overwhelming.

    I have a lot of history, speculative fiction, and gaming podcasts I subscribe to, but the longest episode and most listened to podcast were both related to wrestling. Before AEW started I didn't have an interest in wrestling, but now that I watch I find I enjoy it much more with the context provided by How2Wrestling and WhatCulture.

  • In 2024 I set a goal to read 48 books but passed that by a lot, finishing with 110 read.

    I track all my reading at BookWyrm (@apollo@bookwyrm.social), and had a great time making reading a priority last year.

    This year I'll scale back my reading to prioritize play and creation.

  • Earlier in the month I stopped by Monster, our local game and comic store, with Celestine and made some aspirational gaming purchases.

    I really like the Wardlings line from Wizkids that focuses on young adventurers and their familiars/companions. I've gotten a few of their miniatures to keep for when Celestine is ready to play D&D.

    I also picked up some translucent purple dice from friendly local dice vendors Laughing Panda, who are genuinely lovely folks.

  • Celestine and I went for a walk in the foggy late afternoon and I took the opportunity to capture a few murals.

    Aww, hope you enjoyed it!

    I was trying to keep things chirpy but this crappy year is still getting to me. 🙁

    @Jyoti it was a good way to end boxing day. I think the crappy year has gotten to us all, so I don't think chirpy is sustainable even though it is appreciated.
