Weeknotes 08-10-2026

Okay I'm gonna try to bring back weeknotes in a real way!!

This summer has been so eventful and busy that I haven't been able to catch a breath to write weeknotes. At the same time, I'm pretty regretful not to have weekly records of all the events that have happened this summer, so I'm going to try and be more on top of it so that I have these to look back on.

Work has been absolutely SLAMMED as we get a bunch of features ready for an annual release event in October. Definitely been feeling it, but am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I'm pretty excited about the cool stuff I've been working on!!

So most of last week was just grinding work stuff. But did a few fun things!!

My friends and I have a casual D&D campaign going on. It's our first time playing other than Andre (our DM) so it's been pretty funny to figure it all out. We had our second session last Thursday. My character is named Merlina and looks like Merlin. He is a failed magician but loves to fight lol.

Friday-Saturday I watched all of the Tom Holland Spiderman movies in preparation to go see the newest one. They're uhhh, fine lol. Expectations are always low for a Marvel movie. It's definitely Something that the villains in 2/3 of the movies are working class people who have gotten screwed over by the "Billionare Superhero System." There's always a scene of the bad guy pontificating over how the billionaire superheros are corrupt and can do as they please unchecked with no regard to the little guy. But then by the end of the movie they kind of walk it all back because Spiderman defeats them in the name of Tony Stark or whatever, therefore upholding the system that earlier parts of the movie deemed as corrupt.

So anyway, entertaining propaganda I guess!

We were supposed to go camping with C's family this weekend, but C has been having bad low-iron issues and didn't feel up to it (good for me because I hate camping lol). I did however drive out to the campsite where her Dad and brother were still camping for the weekend and had dinner and smores with them on Saturday night. It was fun and the first time I've hung out with them without C! Here is our gourmet camping meal:

Last thing is I bought a bike! I got this Nishika bike on sale. I didn't want to invest too much into a super nice bike because realistically I'm going to be riding it short distances a few times a week at most. I miss the glory days of biking as my main mode of transport in Boston, but unfortunately, San Diego just isn't built that way. BUT I am excited to be able to bike to the gym now- I think that will be my main use for it.

This wasn't technically in the last week, but a special mention to getting proposed back to :')

Okay that's all! Bye!
