April 2026

📕 613 words ⏳ 5 min.

April has felt like a short month, but I also feel that I have achieved a lot in that time.

Also, this month review is going to look a little bit different. I’ve added emojis to eat heading and a new section at the end. Both of which are ideas I’ve borrowed from Joel’s April Summary. So this is going to be fun.

📖 Reading

Not the best month for reading, but I’m getting back into the flow of things.

🎮 Gaming

I did a ton of flying in FlightGear as always, and spent many hours working on the Hawk T1 add-on which has been a blast to fly and make.

👂 Listening

🎵 Music

I listened to a bit of music over the month on YouTube.

🎙️ Podcasts

I listened to bits of a couple of The WAN Show episodes, but sadly, I only fully listened to one, I need to listen to the rest of them.

I do really want to get back into some other podcasts, such as Wolf 359 which I need to finish.

👀 Watching

▶️ YouTube

I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos of various creators, genres, etc.

🎥 Movies & TV Shows

I was watching Young Sheldon on Netflix and when I finished the series, I spent some time watching some movies. I started off with Paul - a movie about an alien. I then watched Beverley Hills Cop: Axel F - a new (2024) entry to the Beverley Hills Cop franchise. After that, I watched Top Gun - the 1986 classic, which I until now, have never seen before. After Top Gun, I watched The Adam Project - a movie about time travel.

It’s been fun just watching movies in my spare time.

✅ Goals

I’m going to try something I’ve seen in Joel’s month summaries - Goals, let’s see how this goes.
