This week felt overflowing with good things. There were bits of art to boost and little moments with games, ice cream, and books.

I finished reading Saul Williams’ Martyr Loser King comic this morning. I’m still just as into its anti-colonialist cyberpunk as I was in the first pages.

Panels from a comic depict two black men. The left panel shows one man wearing decorative sunglasses and a middle panel shows a phone being handed from one person to another. The third panel shows a surprised man with a goatee looking at a screen and saying, "Wait, you have I-Fi?"
Comic panels show a hand holding a phone. On the screen are hashtags, including #martyloserking, #allcoltranesolosatonce, and #hackthesystem

I played through the fourth quest of First Light in HeroQuest today. My heroes faced off with a wizard who summoned undead and discovered a secret passage into the mountain. They’re slowly gathering artifacts and equipment to survive future dangers.

A HeroQuest board has plastic and cardboard miniatures placed on it. A group of heroes are surrounded by skeletons wielding scythes. Dice can also be seen on the board.

I had to pick up a prescription for Celestine after work and stopped by Churned, the best ice cream shop in the city, to try their Nectarine Crisp flavour. It’s another great one.

A waffle bowl is held in a hand in front of a wall. Nectarine Crisp ice cream fills the bowl.

A clear sign that summer is coming to an end, Canada Geese are gathering before heading south.

A group of Canada Geese have gathered in grass along an active transportation path. Beyond, shops and a dental office can be seen.

My D&D group gathered last night. Our characters visited a market for the undead and fought vampire spawn in a crypt that might have a passage back to the world we left behind after a big battle ended in an unexpected transit to the Shadowfell.

Three sleeved cards for a D&D character can be seen on a stack of similar cards. One is for the spell Telekinetic Propel, one is for coins, and another describes the character Bamfi.
Dice of multiple types are clustered in a cardboard box. Blue, gold, and purple are recurring colours.
