My wife's birthday is always a speial day for me. Lots of alcohol and "cuddling".
Monday October 30th was a pretty great day.
Watching my son in a school math competition back in April was really great. He didn't win but I was a loud, proud father.

My husband, dog, and I went to Tennessee in August for the total eclipse. I'm almost 40, and this is the first one I've seen in totality in my lifetime. That was a fantastic day, and we've already agreed to travel to the one in Central Texas in 2024.
Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, and just Nintendo in general. It's provided a valuable vessel of escaping while the real world is depressing.

Thanks, the pregnancy kind of led to looking for a better family job, which then led to new house and city. Not much of it was planned!
Well it covers late-2016 to summer 2017 but : studying in Japan and meeting incredible people.
Taught a lot about myself. Helped me discover some new, positive things about me that I didn't suspect.
Went to a lot of memorable concerts during this period of time too.

2017 has unequivocally sucked for me. But I did go to a wedding at a medieval chateau in France that was fucking amazing. Getting back into the dating game has been...interesting at least. Other than that, total waste of time.
- Playing Persona 5
- Finally getting an apartment on-campus
- Fixing up the yard at my house over the summer
- Arriving back in Rochester for my third year of college. I began listening to the Nier Automata soundtrack all the way through around the beginning of the ride, and I reached the credits music almost as soon as I got back into the city along with seeing one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen.
- Purchasing my first 4K TV
- Watching a SHIT-TON of anime.
Overall though, this year has been very bog-standard. I still feel like shit, and I'm going to die alone.
