January 2021 in Review

So aside from a failed insurrection, things have been on the upswing this month. I wrapped up work and am now on paternity leave, which has given me a little extra downtime, but not as much as you might think. Taking care of a 3 month old is exhausting.

Gaming
I did some!

Back in December I picked up a copy of Pandemic on sale, and my bride and I have gotten to play it a bunch of times now. We’re generally doing pretty well at saving the world too. We’ve failed some too, but… We also played some 5 Crowns, which is a fun little card game. I almost always get my ass handed to me when we play.

I also got to play some D&D!! I don’t have the energy to run Stonehell (which I might have mentioned) but one of my players has decided to run Rappan Athuk, and I pulled out my old flailsnails character Nick the Pike. It’s been a BLAST!

Miniatures
I worked a bunch on some IMEF troopers, but haven’t finished them. I got distracted by working on my cardboard spaceships. More on that tomorrow. 

Media
Oh boy, was there a lot of TV watching this month.

Lost in Space, season 1 (finished up the last couple episodes)
Umbrella Academy season 1
Supernatural (I’m up to the middle of season 14)
Queer Eye (bunch of episodes)
The Smugglers Room (so many... episodes?) https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSmugglersRoom
WandaVision
Star Trek TNG season 7 episodes

Probably some other stuff too 

Goals
Finish the IMEF dudes
Build ship #3
Finish something from my shelf of shame
