🎃🎵 This is Halloween…This is Halloween 🎵🎃

Yesterday morning and this morning we have started the day by watching Ponyo and Totoro respectively.

Just me and my youngest daughter.

Studio Ghibli movies are pure magic and I just love mornings like these.

You had me at “next game”.

After dedicating 10 years of my life to Stardew Valley (and counting), the time has finally come to announce my next game.

It’s called ConcernedApe’s Haunted Chocolatier.

Anyone interested in an invite to Literal?

I have one left to share.

Today is new Iron Maiden album release day.

Congratulations, let the celebration begin! 🤘

And new betas. Must be getting close now.

Got my second dose of the vaccine yesterday. Feel like shit today.

Feels like a book reading day. 📚

This summer I got a purple M1 iMac.

I’ve now been using this for around a month and I simply love this machine.

We have several M1 machines in the house already, so I knew how good they were. And frankly the internet is filled with people talking about their M1 iMacs. But it seems that I had missed having a “good” desktop machine more than I knew.

The fact that I have to decide to go into the office to use it, instead of just picking up one of the many mobile devices around the house, makes it a conscious choice. And new habits have started to form around using it.

I finished watching See.

This was a show that I abandoned after two episodes when it was first released. In the meantime many people have said they’ve liked the show. So I started watching it again.

And I found myself wanting to know more. Season 2 starts Friday.

Finished reading: Auberon by James S. A. Corey 📚

Another great short story in the Expanse universe. Looking forward to Leviathan Falls, the final book in the series in November.

I found a package from my dad today. He gave this to me last year and asked me to keep it safe.

I had forgotten all about it really. Inside was a hard drive with a note; “You might like the photos.”

It was 17000 family photos he had scanned. 🤯

I’ve watched for hours now.

I’m not sure how many years I’ve been listening to Core Intuition, but I do remember when they where in the low two digits. So it’s been a while.

And for as many years, I’ve been thinking I don’t need Mars Edit. I don’t do much blogging, I do most of my writing in iA Writer, so why would I need it?

So yesterday I downloaded Mars Edit and I could see myself using this.
