This year started off with me being a giant ball of stress.
Moving house. It sucks at the best of times. This wasn't the best of times.
But I got through it. And the new place is... adequate for requirements. It's certainly much quieter than the old place.
I also got to dip my toes back into DMing, and actually DMing a full hardcover adventure for the first time. Which was actually super satisfying.
There were a few post-moving projects, including changing all my DVD covers over to Penguin Book themed covers. And then there was a lot of pre DMing prep.
So, for what it's worth, here's this year's roundup.
January: This month was one long moving related freak out. Up until securing a new place. Then it was just packing. And then I got a new iPhone, because the old one was on the bring of failure.
February: I lost a DnD character and gained a new one. I moved house with the help of Ma and Fluffy. Then did all the things that come after a move. And we got Ma a new iPhone also.
March: We had a tiny, tiny earthquake. I spent too much time printing things at Officeworks. Birthday.
April: I unpacked the last of the moving company boxes. We finished the current Friday Night DnD adventure.
May: I started DMing for Friday Night DnD.
June: I redid my blog banner. Got my flu vax. I got a new drivers license.
July: Got my fourth vax booster.
August: I got sick (just regular, normal sick) for the first time since 2019. The Thursday Night DnD group finally finished our non-campaign campaign after a little over a year.
September: Thursday Night DnD started our new Critial Role campaign with DM Fluffy. I got a new laptop. And then had to make it behave.
October: I had to go and get a second new driving license (thanks Optus). Third anniversary of the Friday Night DnD game.
November: After something like 25 years, I rejoined the library. I had the first proper rental inspection since moving in (the mid year one was cancelled). I put my Christmas decorations up and tweaked my back in the process (although that didn't become apparent until later).
December: Like I said... tweaked my back. I've spent most of the month laying on the bed and seeing my Chiro more than usual. No Christmas Tree decorating at Ma's place this year tho. Boardgame Christmas still happened followed by Movie Night with Fluffy. Also Regular Christmas.
So there's that.
As far as movies go... this year wasn't great for movies. The highlights being The Tragedy of Macbeth (surprising no-one) and Everything Everywhere All At Once. The movie that annoyed me most this year was No Time To Die (and yes, it came out last year, I didn't see it until late March).... fuck that movie.
