I played and finished Sneaky Sasquatch. 🎮
The friendmaking challenge really threw me off and I stopped playing this for a long time, but I finally got back to it and pushed through to finish the main storyline. I kind of love this game.

I've been listening to Dust Inside a Dream by Stalled. 🎵
This was a “personalized” suggestion for me from the Apple Music algorithm and it was a good one. I hate that a little bit, but glad to learn of this band.

I've been listening to Mapambazuko by Ale Hop & Titi Bakorta. 🎵
This is one of those albums that opens several avenues of musical exploration, some entirely new to me (Ale Hop) and some I know and love but need to catch up with (Nyege Nyege Tapes, Soukous.)

I read a bunch of children's poetry books by multiple authors and illustrators. 📚
I volunteered to be a reader for the poetry committee for the Beehive Book Awards. With their 2026 shortlist meeting deadline looming I finally got to reading as many of the titles as I could this weekend.

I'm listening to Still in a Dream: A Story of Shoegaze 1988-1995 by Various Artists. 🎵
Been listening through this comp, but also using it as a jumping off point to explore more by some of these artists and also just an excuse or occasion to listen a lot of other 80s and 90s rock I loved or always wanted to listen to but didn’t have access back at the time.

I've been listening to Pisces Iscariot (Deluxe Edition) by Smashing Pumpkins. 🎵
This was so real to me as a 14 year old, and a little bit scary. First Smashing Pumpkins album I purchased. And I still like listening to it now, I guess.
