Playing more video games than I have in years (thanks to PS Plus and EA Play), working at Gusto and thinking about emotional regulation a lot.

I've joined my local Y and have started going to the gym twice a week (with the goal of working up to 3x/week). Yay, getting healthier!

I just finished Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh and it was amazing! If you liked Scalzi's Old Man's War or Charlie Jane Anders' Unstoppable series, you'll love it.

Big Kick Energy: Two English comedians (Maisie Adam and Suzi Ruffell) talk about the Women's World Cup. Their excitement is great!
Handsome: Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin all hosting a podcast? Yes.

Just stuff for work, mostly code, and Slack. I'm thinking about writing something, but it hasn't come together yet.

EA FC '24: Haven't played as much as I wanted... stupid sinuses... but I love the coed teams!

Ratchet & Clank A Rift in Time: I got myself a PS5 so I can stop "borrowing" my son's PS4, and was delighted to see this game in PS+. It's super fun and replayable.
The Artful Escape: One of the prettiest and trippiest games I've played in a while. Finished it in about 6 hours, and loved every silly second of it. Part platformer, part rhythm game, totally on rails, so you can't really fail. The story is fun and the characters are great.
Lake: It's a very relaxing game about reassessing what you want and delivering the mail. If you like driving a mail truck around a picturesque lake and meeting locals, it's a nice time.
Carto: Adorable puzzle adventure about maps and families.
The Wild at Heart: You guessed it, an adorable puzzle adventure that's very inspired by Pikmin and maybe a little by The Goonies.

Premier League: I love having games on weekend mornings, and being able to watch replays whenever.
WSL: The quality of play is amazing.
Constellation: It's very tense and I'm only on episode 6, but I'm hooked and can't wait to see if/how it's resolved by the finale.
Will Trent: It's not bad for a network procedural.
Gamechanger: Another silly show that feels like the US hipster version of Taskmaster.
Dirty Laundry: It's silly and not as great as Gamechanger, but it's a good show to unwind with before bed.
Schmigadoon: Season two is a great chaser for Silo.
