📚 Dune Messiah. Just about finished listening to the second book of the Dune series. Probably could have finished it this week but didn’t find much listening time that would allow me to take it in.
🎵 Listened to a Spotify playlist called Early Alternative during much of work this week. A lot of gems from late 70s and early 80s. Going to have to add it to the listening rotation.
🍿 The Curse. Modern take on a werewolf movie that takes place mid-to-late 1800s. It was just ok. There was a couple times where I said aloud, “This movie is still going?”
📺 The Boys. Watched the season finale of The Boys. It was satisfying. There were a lot of questions of how they were going to tie up the finale given everything that happened in the finale season and I think they did a good job. I haven’t read the comics so can’t speak to how faithful the series was, but it was entertaining if not frustrating given current events.
🎮 Before I Go. It’s almost a joke that indie games are all an allegory for death, but from the start you would be hard to believe it was anything else. A metroidvania with ok combat and at times frustrating platforming, but enjoyable to play. On the shorter side, but exactly what I was looking for.
❤️ Wine at Sunset fundraiser at Patterson Park was this week. It was wet and rainy but still an absolute blast. What’s not to love? Unlimited wine tastings and small bites from local restaurants. I went years ago when it was called the Wine Soirée, and while that was fun, the new format was even better. Already looking forward to next year’s event.
