π¦ Week Notes 048
ποΈ // Nov 23, 2025 - Nov 29, 2025
My whole weekly routine has been thrown off by the Thanksgiving Holiday. I completely forgot today was my Week Notes day after I'd already nearly completed my usual morning 750 words.
π¦ Today is the day the boys and I are supposed to help Eawyn move out of her current apartment into her new apartment. It sounds like she and her boyfriend were able to make a lot of progress yesterday so we probably don't have as much stuff to move as originally anticipated.
π¦ Thanksgiving with Mary's parents and her sister's family was great. We had enough food for two straight nights of feasting in fact. Roast turkey is not my favorite or anything, but I really enjoy having it with cranberry sauce at this time of year. All the traditional supporting dishes were particularly good this time around and Mary did a really good job of taking over multiple side dishes and improving the feast with her apple pies, rolls, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole.
β½οΈ Tough week for Spurs coming off the international break with a North London Derby beatdown followed by a midweek PSG date. They gave a good accounting of themselves in Paris before ultimately losing 5-3. We'll see how they do against Fulham now (they did terrible- lost 1-2 at home).
Playing
π§ββ Played a little bit more Magic Arena this week as I worked on my daily quests and keeping up with my mastery pass. Finished 6-3 in my first Premier Draft with a decent Dimir deck. I really like Jump-In as well, particularly since it's lower stakes than a draft collection progression-wise.
βοΈGot in a lot of Minecraft time this week both solo and multiplayer with my kids. Kept my head down and made it to the end of The End with Houston even though I didn't feel like I contributed anything and was mostly there as an observer. It was cool to learn what was involved even though I found a lot of it pretty tedious since I wasn't able to contribute much.
Watching
πΏ The Fantastic 4: First Steps ππ Forgot to mention that I finally watched this in last week's Week Notes. Loved the 60's retro-future vibe of the film and how well it captured the characters and their family dynamic from one of my all-time favorite comic book series. The movie plot didn't go down quite like I expected since they're not on main MCU Earth, but I look forward to seeing how they're brought into it in the future.
πΊ Pluribus S1E5 Got Milk ππ Wild episode where the hivemind abandons Carol and Albuquerque after the events with Zosia, and left to her own devices she starts to figure out some disturbing stuff about what's been going on in the background the whole time.
πΊ Stranger Things S5E1-4 ππ Pretty intense and entertaining opening half of the season with some great new additions to the cast, but I'm still really annoyed that we had to wait three years for it.
Projects
- πThis hasn't been a productive week. I've mostly been focused on relaxing, recharging, and doing the minor tasks required to help out with holiday preparations and the like. Outside Christmas lights will probably go up tomorrow since our neighborhood is well ahead of us.
