Lifenotes #38: January 2024

✨ Highlights

• Went on some fun dates, and had quite a few hang outs with my lovely friends 💛
• My friend Hayden came to visit, and we went to Yorkshire Sculpture Park, which was really nice, and I could bring Juno 🐾
  • I was so surprised to see some Ai Weiwei sculptures there, the very same I'd seen by a museum in Prague several years ago.
• Went to Beat the Streets festival with my pals and saw some great gigs.
• Our work team social was really fun, we did some painting together 🎨

🎮 Played/Read/Watched

• Saltburn: I missed this in cinemas in December so I watched it when it came out on streaming. It was really fun, I enjoyed it.
• The Sopranos: started watching the Sopranos with my pal Alan, it's his favourite show and I'd never seen it before. So far I'm loving it, it holds up really well after all these years too!
• Eraserhead: somehow I'd never seen this, so I gave it a watch and it was great, cursed baby and all.
• The Good Wife: was after some mindless background watching so I rewatched this, aleays good fun.
• Choose Boring Technology by Dan McKinley
• Poor things: I do like Yorgos Lanthimos' films, so went to see this on the cinema and really enjoyed it, it was a fun watch and I loved loved loved the costumes. Still gutted I missed the costume exhibit at the Barbican.
• Bottoms: silly and funny, good times all around.
• Kind of annoyed at React by Cassidy Williams
• React Server Components: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly by Mayank
• Return of the Obra Dinn: started this with Hayden when he came to visit, and it's such a cool game! I love logic puzzles and the style of it is great.
• They came together: ths had been on my list for a bit, and it was a great watch, it's a romcom that makes fun of romcoms, and does it really well.
• Past lives: this was touching, and sad, and lovely 💛
