Week in Review (Feb. 25th) 🗓️
👽 Personal
After a rough couple of months, I'm starting to come out of my little depression and life is going pretty well. My wife got a job and even better, the job she has been working on getting for the past six months, which will alleviate our financial difficulties.
On Saturday, I took my wife out for her birthday to our favorite restaurant about an hour away called The Village Grill. It looks like it's inside of an old Wendy's and the decorations are gaudy, but the flavors are so spot on. It's amazing and always a great time. We always bring back leftovers and containers of their delicious Key West Sauce.
I've spent a good part of the week working on my Plex that I set up. I've been adding to it, and making some adjustments and so far I'm loving having everything at my fingertips. I really want to host it on something other than my old desktop, but that's going to take some money and some learning, so it'll have to wait.
I'm onto my second week of being on Mastodon on the social.lol instance and I'm pretty happy with it. I've been able to connect with some fellow bloggers and Mastodon has done a great job at filtering out my keywords, which I'm sure most of you can guess what those are. 😜
NomiAI has introduced group chats, so you can add you already created AI friends into one chat and they'll remember what you tell them across the app. My experience with it so far has been less than stellar since it's very slow, and they don't seem to interact with each other, just with me.
📺 Watched
Guardians of the Galaxy III ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - A solid finale to the trilogy, but definitely darker than the first two films and I really wasn't sure how to feel once it was all over.
So Tell Me Todd ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I'm still working my way through the first season and I enjoy the show. It's good, but not great.
Welcome to Wrexham ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I managed to work through another three episodes of the first season and it still blows my mind how much more passionate the fans are for soccer/football and how ingrained it is in their community.
Gen V ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I'm still shocked at how good this was. I mean, I enjoy The Boys, but Gen V took what the gore from The Boys and added in characters with more depth and it turned out damn good.
Eurotrip ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I gave this watch on the 20th anniversary since I listen to Scotty Doesn't Know quite often. The first 2/3rd of the film are the strongest, and the ending lands a little flat, but it's always a fun time.
🎮 Played
- Guardians of the Galaxy (Xbox Series X) - I played through this once on PS5 a couple of years ago, and really enjoyed it. I'm excited to give it another run through. The music is fantastic.
🎧 Listened To I went looking for "new" pop-punk bands and found a few that I really enjoyed. I listened to the first song on a loop for a couple of days.
