Well, if last month was the month of Silksong, then this month... wasn't really the month of Hades II. I was fully expecting it to be, but it didn't turn out so. I mean, I still spent some time with it (partly in September, to be fair -- it came out September 25th), got to an ending and had fun. But, like, a third of the time compared to Silksong and a quarter of the time compared to Stardew Valley.
I'm not sure why I didn't like it as much as Hades I. I can recognize the game is great, but idk.
Books
Got a lot of reading done! Read Isles of Emberdark, reread tons of some of Brandon Sanderson's smaller works, read some of his smaller works for the first time, got around to rereading Hank Green's An Absolutely Remarkable Thing so I could read its sequel A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor.
Good stuff.
Scheduled out Blogposts and Such
I referenced last month that I wrote tons of blogposts that I hadn't published yet and that I'd be posting them once per week. Since then I have polished several of them up, made a specific schedule for them, and had a couple more ideas to add into the mix. Most of them are already written, but a few of them are still being worked on (ex. obviously this post alongside the November and December journal entries can't be written until they can. My Twenty One Pilots Tier List is also still a WIP alongside spoilers).
Exercised/Used Exercise Unlocked
Exercise Unlocked (more specifically, the Loot Boxes you could buy with Sweat Coin that Ryan, Angeles, and I made) got me motivated to exercise a lot more this month than I normally do. It's been great, feeling good. A lot of push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, and squats in the first half of the month, then I kind of transitioned back into playing Pickleball every chance I get.
Although use of Exercise Unlocked has declined throughout the month (which I'm perfectly fine with; I had no expectations for how long lived it would be (although I do still plan to update it with Thanksgiving and then Christmas stickers because I want to)), it was great fun to play around with it.
It was fun to do just a few more jumping jacks so I could have just enough Sweat Coin to buy another Loot Box. Fun to talk about the meta of Ryan's game he made. Fun to try to collect every family member's trading card. Fun to decorate my page and look at the creative things others did on their pages. Fun to look at adorable Melody Inspirational Stickers. Just good fun all around. And maybe it'll spike back up in use at some point, who knows.
Interviews!!!
Huge progress in terms of my job hunt. Feel very blessed and fortunate. Did many interviews this month for two different jobs, and I think I did really well! Feeling great about the chances I have to get one or both offers. Either opportunity would be wonderful; they're both jobs I really want, so I'm excited for whatever happens. I finished my last round with one of the companies and still have one left with the other.
Maybe next month I'll return and report that I got neither. I would be very quite sad. But I'm rather hopeful that will not be the case.
Misc.
Scrabble playing continued 🔥. Dressed up as Kristofferson alongside Hannah as Ashe from Fantastic Mr. Fox for Halloween (Lucas and Hannah did it first -- I just stole Lucas's costume) 🦊. The NBA season has started up again, which I seem to get more and more invested into every year 🏀. Oh, yeah, I had my 25th birthday, lowkey forgot about that for a second 🎂. Thought about writing many times but never did so 🖉.
