Weekly update #3
Wrapped up the year with cozy Christmas dinners (and homemade stewed pears 🍐🍨) and my annual review to relive 2024's highlights. Watched some movies, including The Holdovers, Zone of Interest, and the classic It’s a Wonderful Life—a perfect holiday vibe!
I had a quiet week. Apart from 2 Christmas dinners I didn't do much else. We had to make a dessert for both dinners, we made stewed pears with icecream. Tasted really good if I say so myself 😁.
At the end of the year I always do a year review, where I go though all my weekly reviews and photos and make notes per month. It's a really nice way to look back onto the past year and remember the good things that happened. I might post a summary of my yearly review next week.
For the rest I've been watching some movies I had on my watchlist. The Holdovers, which had a nice holiday atmosphere, although it was a bit predictable. Zone of Interest, which was good but also quite dark. And I noticed on Letterboxd popular movies list It's a wonderful life, a movie from 1947. So I watched that on boxing day. Nice Christmas movie with Scrooge vibes.
Happy 2025 and see you next week!

While Mark is out performing in theaters, I watch a lot of series. Recently I started with Euphoria and Dune - Prophecy on HBO Max. I've been also playing lots of Prince of Persia - The Lost Crown. I used to play the orignal game in the nineties as a kid so it's nice to revisit this platformer.
I started making a weekly compilation playlist called "Weekly mix" on Spotify. Inspired by "The weekly" by Marius Hordijk. I start with a song and follow it's vibe to make a playlist. A nice way of listening to music. I plan to do this weekly. Let's see how I can keep this up.
I'm trying to win wintersport gear with the Freeride world tour advent calendar, but thus-far I didn't win anything 😢
Weekly update - 9 dec 2024
This week I spent a day to organize my bank transactions in the awesome Lunch Money app, to see if I finally wil be able to save some money. We finished watching Bad Monkey, which was fun! And started with the 2nd season of Silo (the books are also great to pick up). Seriously, get an Apple TV+ subscription, their series have been on fire lately! I've been listening to my own top 12 albums of 2024 and discovering the records that I don't know yet from Pitchforks and OOR's top 2024 lists. I gave Craft 3 a try, but I'm more of a Notion guy.
