## Doing

I started working through [Blender Guru][blenderguru]'s [Blender 4.0 Donut
Tutorial][donut]. I mostly finished it -- I still have some videos about
lighting and such to work through. Blender has changed a lot since I first
picked it up in 2009, when I took a 3D modeling class in college.

{{< tess >}}, a couple friends, and I spent an evening at [Kabuki
Springs][kabuki] on Sunday night. Delightful.

## Watching

I finished [Three Body Problem](https://www.netflix.com/title/81024821) on
Netflix. I haven't read the books (I've been told they're definitely worth it)
but I did really enjoy the show.

[Godzilla Minus One](https://godzilla-movie2023.toho.co.jp) came to Netflix this
week. It's excellent. I've been on a kaiju movie and show kick recently, having
watched [Monarch: Legacy of Monsters][monarch] on Apple TV+. I enjoyed the
slightly old-school Godzilla vibe compared to the newer American movies in the
franchise.
