Other than Spider-Man 2, I mostly just played Astro Bot on my PS5. I need to use it more.

I enjoyed That Christmas very much. Set my expectations really low because I was utterly disappointed with Spellbound, another recent Netflix joint. In fact, I almost didn't watch this. I just wanted to watch something with my nieces that isn't Frozen or Bluey.

As expected, I 100% sucked in my first Marvel Rivals match. This is absolutely not my kind of game, but you can run around as Jeff the Land Shark, so I had to at least try it out.

I probably won't be able to fully degoogle my life, but I took a big step towards it today by emptying my main Gmail account, which I created way back in 2006.

That's 19 years worth of emails and attachments wiped from Google servers. It sparks joy.

The HBO GO app on my TV always gave me trouble by regularly being slow/unresponsive. Glad that it has finally been replaced by Max. Looks like it performs way better.

But I'm not glad that my meticulously curated list of movies and shows in My Stuff did not carry over. womp womp

Just watching Bluey with two of my nieces. It's a good Sunday morning.
