Onions are done! Didn't get big, again, but yknow, it's okay, I can cook mini pearl onions. And picking them got me a small handful of green onions too! PLUS: FIRST TOMATO #personal

Bergamot flowers have bloomed for me, too! I wonder if I have any hummingbird moths around to enjoy them... #personal (referencing the post I reskeeting a bit ago)

clusters of pale purple-pink flowers arranged in rings on the tops of tall stalks

the flowers have long bottom petals and then a thin, straight top petal each, so the result of the ring of them feels almost crown-like

unopened flowers have bright green leaves folded over the future blossoms, like little parcels

a rather young bud from above kind of looks like a gyoza or a shumai packet to me haha

Oseike@oseike· 22d

Yeah! Mine was like that too, except I don't think my screen could rotate? Or maybe it did and I just don't remember haha. It was something like one of these:

An old Samsung cell phone. It is held in a landscape orientation rather than a portrait, and the front face is slid upwards to reveal a full qwerty keyboard. The top part has a small screen on 2/3 of the face, displaying app icons, and then a number pad on the right, which is oriented to be read if the phone were alid together and held in portrait orientation. Super cool tech, still love this design.

(Not my build) Just wanna point out that the pyramid usually has a bottom like this. I definitely knocked a bunch of blocks off the bottom, too.

A screenshot of someone else's build, more focused on the surroundings - which have been made into a lot of farms and grass instead of the original desert. The ziggurat sits amidst the greenery, with full sides that you would normally expect, unlike my own, where I've knocked in the corners

Oseike@oseike· 25d

Having a great time transforming the pyramid in DQB2 into something more interesting and exciting to look at First pic is where I started after knocking off the top, other 3 are now :) #personal #DQB2

A flat, open area atop a stepped pyramid (more like a ziggurat really, because DQB2 uses blocks similar to minecraft). In the cenrer is a lone arch I left behind next to the open hole into the downstairs.

The completed top, now covered with a tall stone and glass cover with a dome at the center. Beneath the airy pillars are a bunch of small things hard to see from the distance, and a blue-topped building sits in the center in front. In front of the ziggurat are water aqueducts that frame either side of a path, also complete with a dome in front of the ziggurat's entrance.

Beneath the tall pillars, a picture of what's below: a bazaar. Stalls visible include spices, fruit, books, flowers, and kitchenware. Hard to see are also a crockery stall and a lamp stall. The blue-topped building from earlier is just barely visible on the left, while behind the bazaar is a red-roofed building with decorations along the top of the facade. The hole remains in the center for a way down into the ziggurat's interior, and another staircase leads down and off the side of the ziggurat. There are decorative flowers everywhere.

A picture from above and slightly behind the ziggurat. It shows two houses on the back side of the bazaar, both with red roofs. One also has a patio with a hot tub and a pair of deck chairs out back.

#TheCount has been claiming #PercivalCat's bed lately. Maybe my lap is too warm?

Two cats on a gray cushion, which is more than large enough for both of them, except the older cat (a long haired tabby; that's The Count) has decided to lie in the middle, forcing the younger (short hair white and gray, who is larger; that's Percival) to lie along the back edge between him and the wall.

Oseike@oseike· 28d

Sometimes he gives me such cute aggression #PercivalCat

A gray and white cat lying on his side on a gray cushion, sleeping (well, his eyes are closed, but he wasn't actually asleep, he was just basking)

Oseike@oseike· 29d

Seems fine #personal

A notice email I got saying my city is under a boil water advisory because, thanks to the heat wave causing high water demands, water services lost water pressure. This includes boiling it even for brushing teeth, but also any kind of ingestion or cooking. Need to boil for at least a minute, meaning my kettle won't be enough.....or I can use commercially bottled water

A photo down the street. You can see the wildfire smoke in the air. That's exciting.

I want my oc to own this so I drew it #oseiarts He's a fisherman in his og universe, and has fish-related connections in his various aus hehe. His name is Pranav

THANKS WITH AN EXTRA CHERRY ON TOP

a screenshot of some of the documentm it reads: "...But until then, you'll be spending literal weeks on the internet, downloading photos, videos and asset packs as examples, plus making sketches of so many inane things you didn't think of before. It's a huge task.

"You might be tempted to use AI, but your artists will hate you. Artists are (em) very hard (end em) to replace. So don't do that."

Oseike@oseike· Jul 11

I was wrong! After checking them again outside, mine don't branch so much, and the middles are bigger and more yellow. My ma called these chamomile, is that right? (no need to answer if you don't want to!)

Excuse you Adobe why is my photoshop using over 400% cpu????? Fuck you??? Are you recording my file?????

a screenshot of a Mac's activity monitor. Adobe Photoshop is at the top of the list, using 449.5% CPU, open for 4 hours and 25 minutes (been working for a while). The next highest CPU user is the Wacom driver at 10.6%, only open for 2 hours and 44 minutes, which I kind of doubt but that's what it says.

Spoils of war (me vs raspberry bushes) Sadly a lot went past prime because it was so hot I didn't wanna be outside to pick. Oh well, the birds and bugs get those. #personal

Knight with a Clock Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) ~1550 oil on canvas, 101 cm by 122 cm It's all blacks. Black on black on black, yet somehow Titian captures such nuance and variety and depicts materials with such precision it rewired how I think about "black cloth"

A painting of a man with a black outfit sporting a silvery gray crusader cross on the chest. He has a short beard and short hair, likely to fit under a helmet. One hand is resting on a nearby table, touching a small gold-colored metal box, the clock in question.

The cabbages are. Lorge. #personal

A hand reaching out to touch a leaf of a growing cabbage. There are four cabbages, and they're all quite large.

Who's happy because he got brushed all over???? Yeah it's #PercivalCat!

Starting my Independence Day by eating the most American meal I can think of #personal

It's a bowl of ramen. It looks quite handsome too, may I say, with four pork cuts, a fried egg, and a healthy scattering of green onions that - I boast! - I picked from my garden

Oseike@oseike· Jul 2

#PercivalCat has decided there are enough blankets to call this his spot when I sit on the couch (it's the back, in case that isn't clear)

This is the last flower out there for the time being. Not sure what it is, but it's cute so it stays. Reminds me of alyssum, though it isn't.

a small ball of white blossoms, each with daisy-like petals. They grow atop a long thin stem, and the plant has long thin leaves, too, most on the base but pairs also on the flower stem spaced out every 3 or 4 inches.

Oseike@oseike· Jul 2

These are, I think, chamomile? How cute, they apparently unfold from a spiral!

two white flowers with yellow centers. The petals are very thin, almost hair-like

More such blossoms. A tiny bee is on one!

blossoms still in the process of opening. The petals cluster in spiral form, making the flower look twisted. There's three of them

Oseike@oseike· Jul 2

This thing, hiding amidst the snapdragons, is common motherwort. It stinks!! But was (is?) also a source of apparently a good number of herbal remedies? It's native, so it stays.

a tall spire of small, fuzzy, pale purple-pink blossoms on a thick stem. Periodic leaves poke out right from the cluster of blossoms in a signature toothed edge with a single main point and two smaller points beside it

Oseike@oseike· Jul 2

Speaking of, I have a bunch of those popping open in this flowerbed. I don't think I ever seeded them, but they're cute so who cares!

a group of snapdragon plants, with tall stalks with thin leaves up them and then spires of blossoms on top in two-toned yellow

a flowerbed of a bunch of plants growing willy-nilly. you can see a lpt of yellow snapdragons mixed in with milkweed and another spire flower i'll cover next post

Oseike@oseike· Jul 2

Flower day! Let's check up on some blossoms. #personal I bought two lupine, but only the pink one is flowering. Love the shape of these though, almost like snapdragons :)

Show me a cool physical game I don't open them often but they are a huge gem for my collection! #personal

cd cases for Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete

Lunar: SSS's box contents removed. It includes the disk, a hardcover manual, and a cloth map

Inside the manual for Lunar: SSS, which has a gorgeous illustration on the left of a villain with crazy wizard level whiye hair and beard, holding a captured Luna aloft while heroes below (one must be Alex, the protagonist) square off against him. On the right side is an interview with the scenario writer, Keisuke Shigematsu.

Another spread in the manual. It talks about the combat menu and character status effects

First harvest! Mostly beans. Peas didn't produce much this year, but I've still got some. #personal

A hand next to a pile of greens - mostly long green beans, but theres six or seven pea pods too

Oseike@oseike· Jun 29

That shelf is for him #TheCount

a long-haired tabby cat sitting on a tv stand that is under another tv stand. the lower one juts out more, making a space for the cat to sit. he looks at the tv, specifically some fish in a game

same as previous. the cat continues to look at the tv, now at the characters on screen

same as previous. the cat now looks towards the room

same as previous. the cat looks towards the camera.

Fixing up an old door to become closet doors Honestly I wish we had bought new ones... These are so dirty and stained and cruddy-looking. But, pa insisted, so ...whatever. I might end up redoing all of this in the future, but he still got to do what he wanted first 🤷🤣😅 #personal

A door is laid between two sawhorses. One end is clamped after we cut the door shorter and moved the frame plug up and glued it in. You can see a couple drills sitting on top. A man stands beside it and is cleaning off the next frame plug for the second door.

Today was his celebration of life, and the day I was finally able to pick up my own piece, so I would like to share it. Please enjoy one of my godfather's drawings; forgive the angle, I had to tilt it to avoid a glare. #personal
