Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled. Contains a handful of my favourites tunes by them, and since it's inexplicably unavailable in Apple Music NL, it had been a while since I last spun it.
Matt Berry's Heard Noises. I just wasn't aware Matt Berry is a full blown, established musician with a large discography! I was intrigued by the "Space Vintage Rock" description I saw somewhere about this latest release of him, and gave it a spin. A fun one.

Started Ghosts season 3.
Continued Animal Control season 2.
⭐ Paris, Texas on MUBI. The second Wim Wenders film I've watched (Perfect Days being the first). It's visually striking and methodical in its pace, character dynamics, and storytelling. A quiet epic.
This week's Pluribus, "HDP". Really liked how they used the from last week's episode. The slow burn is a joy.
Started our we-lost-count-th rewatch of Community, with episodes 1-4 of Season 1. We're always watching a random episode of what is easily my all-time favourite comedy show, but we decided it was a good time to go through it all once again (and hoping the movie comes out soon enough!).

⭐ Finished Dispatch. Loved every moment of it and cannot wait to go though it again, making different choices. My review.
Played a couple of races in Parking Garage Rally Circuit.
Started Disco Elysium again, this time with my wife as a "co-pilot", since she started her own campaign a while ago but never finished it. The first part of noclip's documentary was definitely a catalyst for wanting to revisit this incredible title.

Played 5 table tennis matches in the office.
⭐ Played 2 sets of Padel over 1 hour with friends, in NDSM Padel (the bike ride from my house to get there and back was a workout on its own!).
