They got Chunk vegan steaks at the Sprouts so I made a sunday steak lunch with a red wine shallot sauce and taters and lemony olive oil green beans
Last minute thesis committee shakeups are always fun, but here's the stack of stuff I've been reading for as I try to refine my methodology
Thanks for the beautiful bass and the ten bags of old man candy Sweetwater
His food went away so he couldn't eat after midnight because he has dental surgery today and now he is Dying,,, and Nobody understands,,,, 🥺
Finished Tapestry of Fate by Shannon Chakraborty. Very good, do recommend the Amina al-Sirafi books. Now I want another one!!
Oops I went to barnes and noble and got a pink drink and went a lil crazy 🫣
Finally getting weepy about leaving the place I've lived for ten years. Leaving the blue I stained on the toilet seat from reupping my hair dye during the pandemic. Cleaning up the evidence of a cat. The backyard barbecues. The entire Castle of Strahd DND campaign.
Op, @itsquinns.bsky.social got me again with the Quinns Quest about stonetop (she says, also having pledged for a physical edition of public access) And also those other ones 👀
Waiting for @mrbonesstanaccount.bsky.social to go "actually, fuck this" The test is sending pictures of the triage area of moving boardgames over Other gamers: have you moved with a decently large collection? I feel like I did a lot of culling and still have so much
Just thinking, I should be Her again! Also thanks @mrbonesstanaccount.bsky.social for the vote of confidence
Enjoyed my first play of Molly House even if I lost because I happened to be indicted. At least I didn't get hanged!
Running through Act 1 of the Slay the Spire boardgame for the first time (solo) as the Ironclad. Loaded die/metallicize/juggernaut doing a lot of heavy lifting for me ngl
Oh to be just a lil guy Pokopia is a delight. I have feelings about the game key card but dang if the game itself isn't just a joy to play
Just realized this stance is what I defaulted into while scrolling on my phone and had to slip into portrait mode to capture it lolol it's fine I'm fine
I like a candle, made some chamomile tea from @manyworldstavern.bsky.social, put on a chill playlist with cozy music, and punched/sorted then played the first season/session of #Mythwind as the Farmer this evening instead of that other thing that was happening.
