🤧 Week Notes 015
🗓️ // Apr 6, 2025 - Apr 12, 2025
Really tough week on the sickness front. The cold everyone's been dealing with for a while at our house finally hit me overnight and I woke up Wednesday with a very sore throat. Called in sick and worked on hydrating myself all day and that worked okay, but Thursday I woke up feeling bad again until I could fully hydrate myself and get some coffee. Finally felt pretty good by Friday and worked remotely, but I've got a fairly runny nose I hope doesn't turn into a cough.
- The Spurs Europa League game against Frankfurt on Thursday had some decent moments, but giving up the initial goal was very disappointing.
- The girls did a nice job at the Cathedral singing with the Children's Choir there for Stations of the Cross.
- Met my oldest daughter's boyfriend for the first time Friday evening when they stopped by for our family dinner. Seems like a good guy.
- The ridiculous tariffs continue to be an absolute disaster for the economy, but were put on pause for 90 days Wednesday so insiders could game the market and make a bunch of money.
- Our Republican Congressman, Michael Baumgartner, continues to ignore the tariffs, but introduced a very interesting and liberal bill to abolish the NCAA and have the federal government take over. I don't like the way he follows the party line and Trump, but I admire the way he's dived right into action as a freshman representative.
Playing
- 🧙♂ Tarkir Dragonstorm dropped this week, and my first two drafts were horrible in terms of luck and matchups. It's a really cool set, but I didn't enjoy getting Elspeth pack one pick one and never seeing her in 5 matches. Didn't plan on drafting again until I got my mastery pass token, but then there was a deal yesterday for a token for 6750 gold vs the usual 10K so I snapped it up.
- 🧙♂ Took a break and switched to Constructed and managed to get to Gold 3 by the end of the week. Mostly playing mono red burn and Boros Goblins. Completed at least a couple more achievements this week as well.
Watching
- 📺 The Wheel of Time 👍👍 Finished up Season 2 and really enjoyed it. I thought season one was decent, but Season 2 really upped the game for me. Having the Forsaken playing an active role was quite entertaining.
- 📺 Daredevil Born Again S1E8 👍👍 Very good episode where Bullseye finally reenters the chat and Matt figures out who actually hired him to take out Foggy. Shocking end to the episode as well. Looking for the conclusion of season 1 and how it will all play out.
Listening
- 🎙📚 Wil Wheaton's Story Time continues to be awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed Episode 3.
- 🎶 Nothing too exciting on the music front, no new standouts.
Reading
- 📚 Bad week for reading much of anything other than Wil Wheaton's podcast.
