You know, it wasn't really my intention when I made the first one of these to make one every month; I just felt like I wanted to posted something and a simple report of what I've been up to seemed appropriate. And then I kind of kept doing it.
And I see myself doing it for this year, just feels like a good thing to do for this year, idk. Doesn't mean I can't or won't post at other times about other things (as shown by the fact that I already have).
Anyway:
Andor Season 2.
It's actually so good. I think I still currently put Severance above it in terms of ranking my favorite live-action TV shows, but I think Andor is #2 now (outranking Psych, which is now #3). But perhaps Andor will gain the edge over Severance since it's finished, while Severance is waiting for a 3rd season (having a good ending/being finished in the first place is really important to me). Andor is now my favorite piece of Star Wars content with Episode III now being 2nd.
Got to travel to Rexburg/Boise over the course of a long weekend.
In Rexburg, I got to watch the Andor finale with Tanner, my old roommate who got me watching Star Wars. It was great. Got to play some Lorcana with Tyler, my other old roommate.
Had a really fun time at the Rexburg local Smash tournament, taking a set off of Gage (22Cents) in grands (and then losing the next set to him thus coming in second); such a fun tournament and a great way to cap off mine and Gage's competitive history.
In Boise, I got to hang out with Andrew and Jamie and it was wonderful and I love them so much:) And Jamie is pregnant and that's so exciting:):)
Also got to participate in a 107 person Smash tournament (which also meant getting to hang out with Rexburg Smash people more, which was great). Got 17th! Which is probably my best placement at a big event like that. My controller was breaking down at the end, which was frustrating, though.

Pickleball
Been playing a lot of Pickleball, and it's been a blast! Really happy Ben got me attending regularly now. We attend pretty much every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and there's great turn out from the local community every time.
Monster Train 2
Played an absurd amount of Monster Train 2. Satiated my desire for Slay the Spire 2 while it lasted. Took 74.2 hours to get all the achievements. There's still other stuff to explore in the game, so I'll definitely still play it, but I've slowed down on my playtime a lotta lot since getting all the achievements.
Progress on Projects
Now that my Smash career up at college is over, the column on the right side opened up and has been repurposed to something that I think is pretty neat! I also just started up yesterday keeping track of each individual days progress on a google sheet that I think is neat.
Have been making good progress on Auzzy Quite Liked Her Name. Really happy about my consistent efforts. Writing a substantial story like this has probably been on my list of desires for forever, and so it feels really good to continue to make progress on it.
Also continue to march forward on transcribing my mission journals. A thing I've had planned from before my mission ended. It'll take a while yet, but I plan to keep slowly making progress on it.
Hair
Didn't get around to cutting my hair for the longest period of time in my entire life and thus my hair grew to its longest length it's ever been. Shout out to Jamie for cutting it while I was in Boise. Now that I'm graduated, I've grown at my bread and will presumably keep it around because it's way easier not to shave than it is to shave.
Pictures for the fun of it.
