🐣 Week Notes 017
🗓️ // Apr 20, 2025 - Apr 26, 2025
It was good to be able to get back to mostly normal health this week in time for Easter and my day off Monday. Ended up being kind of of a weird work week as well as I had to come in Friday rather than my usual Thursday. Enjoyed a delicious waffle and egg breakfast provided by our leadership group Friday morning.
- 🧙♂🦸♂️ Wizards announced that the fall Spider-Man Universes Beyond set is not coming to Arena on Tuesday and completely ruined my day. Not really, but as a primarily Arena player and a huge Marvel fan it's incredibly irritating that they're bringing an IP equivalent Universes Within set to digital instead because they couldn't agree on licensing terms. This will be incredibly annoying and completely sours me on all the Marvel paper only products.
- 🚲 Applied for the Washington E-Bike rebate since the size of our family and total income actually qualifies us for the bigger $1200 rebate. It's random though and ended up on the wait. Decided it was high time to order a couple new inner tubes and get my diy e-bike back in working order this weekend.
- Our washing machine finally gave up the ghost and began constantly leaking midweek. Luckily we already received our tax money and were able to get a good deal on a GE replacement through Lowe's and get installed by Friday morning. I'm so happy to be done nursing the old one along after it first acted up roughly a year ago.
Playing
- 🧙♂ Magic the Gathering managed to reach Platinum in Constructed for the first time in ages. Did it in the end with Mythic Mike's Orzhov United Battlefront Skeleton's deck. Will start focusing on drafting again.
- 🧙♂ Helped the girls get back into playing some Magic Arena. S had the most established account and I was able to set her up with a white good stuff deck that has some life gain card draw and Shelted by Ghosts. The other girls immediately picked up on what a good card that is.
- 🧙♂ Still need to get L and J sorted out with better decks. I think L tends to like green decks and I think Elves is actually a pretty decent deck thanks to Foundations and Craterhoof been in Tarkir Dragonstorm.
- ⚽️🎮 Managed to win the National Title in my third year on Medium playing the men's team with Gladys Daystrom's son Gladyson Fox-Daystrom. I still haven't 42 pointed a single season yet though which kind of annoys me.
- ⚽️🎮 I'm really looking forward to the 1.1 upgrade from Bang Average Football so I can start creating my own real and imagine league equivalents and storylines and videos.
Watching
- 📺 Andor 👍👍 Season 2 was back this week with the first three episodes and I thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes. It sounds like they'll be releasing 3 episode blocks every week.
- 📺 Mythic Quest 👍 Watched a couple episodes so I can take advantage of my Apple TV subscription this month. I get a kick out of this show, but I don't love it.
Listening
- 🎶 Spotify has been sending quite a few Glass Animals tracks my way over the last year and finally did a little research fully integrated the band and their music into my consciousness.
Projects
- 🏡 General lawn and yard maintenance has now fully commenced. Mowed the side lawn for the first time this Spring.
- 🚲 Getting my e-bike in working order again.
- 🏡 Replaced the Washing Machine, but the laundry flooring cleanup required when we took out the old one was appallingly epic.
