Books Reading

(none finished this month — too much going on, but hoping to pick it back up in June)

Games Playing

• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – A complete surprise. Visually stunning, and the QTE combat system is way more fun than it has any right to be. Feels like a rhythm game wrapped in a turn-based RPG. ★★★★★

Listening

• Djrum: Under Tangled Silence – Every track on is great. Just pure vibes. ★★★★★

Log

I’ve been getting back in the cold plunge groove this month, and it’s been amazing. Started at 50°F, dropped to 45°F the next week, and then 40°F after that. Every step down has been a shock and a breakthrough. I’m starting to crave it—both the discipline and the stillness.

Otherwise, life’s been pretty steady. Ezekiel’s getting bigger, and we’re settling into routines. It’s crazy how fast the days go. Been stealing bits of time for games and music when I can.
