a growing relationship with books

BB has always liked books, but it’s interesting to watch his interest develop over time. At 12 months, he liked lift-the-flap books. He wasn’t that interested in the contents of each page; it was just another physical manipulation toy. He’d lift the flaps on a few pages at random and then be off to...

occult crescent (do not steal)

The difference between weekends is wild. Two weekends ago was action-packed. We went to the playground so many times and went down so many slides. We stomped on leaves, we watched birds and watered the plants, we threw Dad’s panda toys down the stairs, we jumped around the house yelling BOING BOING ...

humor, wa-wa, and sorting chalk

The evolving nature of humor:March 2025: farting noises = literal funniest thing everApril 2025: farting noises = mid. Situational humor is king. Specifically, the following scenario: BB lies down on the couch. “Good night, BB!” I say, lying down beside him. Then he pushes me off the couch. I land o...

memorial day family bash

Big hype for the full family Memorial Day weekend bash at Mom and Dad’s house. I came down on Friday afternoon as usual; brother and co. came on Saturday. I’m sleeping in my actual childhood bedroom for the first time in years. A few years ago, Mom converted my room into the Ironing and Miscellaneou...

pudding alone gets awfully dull (notes)

Since we’re on hiatus for a week, I better write all this down. Huh. Actually, writing this makes me like the phase better. Makes it feel more mechanic-y. Before the add phase:Wave 2 (rays) spawns at 4:20. I want barrel stabilizer + wildfire + chain saw up.These attacks all come up during the cactus...

pudding alone gets awfully dull

Not enjoying the Sugar Riot fight at all. Specifically, I hate the add phase.I have aoe in my kit, but I’ve never had to use it in raids, only very casually in dungeons. I was perfectly happy ignoring it. Now there’s all kinds of annoying considerations like “I can’t initiate on the ray with X attac...

honse

Cirrus, the wind ancient, has been officially slated for May and a teaser image posted...and it’s a horse. It’s like 90% horse and 10% dragon. It doesn’t even have wings. I’m pretty meh on this. It’s the second ancient in a row that has been a dud for me, since I’m bleh on adult everluxes. (Big fan ...

chili oil

Around a week ago, I had a Costco tonkotsu ramen bowl for dinner. Instead of using the packet of chili oil that comes with it, I added Korean chili sauce. I left the packet of chili oil on the counter, thinking I might try it on potatoes at some point. Today, roommate got up for a ramen break. In th...

what’s your favorite color

Welcome to Sugar Riot’s gallery of glowworms! “THE PAINTRESS PLAGUES US STILL,” said newbie. “FOR THOSE WHO COME AFTER!!” I don’t have a lot to say about the Sugar Riot fight so far. I just needed to get that newbie quote in. I was concerned the cacti would be honeybee levels of Just Do the Mechan...

the potato zone

Saturday morning, HGR was like “I want a big plate of anything BUT potatoes” and also “I don’t WANT to fight Dancing Green.” So, that’s how the potato diet (and raid tier) is going. Going to collect all the potato recipes here. Seasonings listed are a bit arbitrary (aka whatever I used on that occas...

potato, potato

Been thinking about potatoes lately. newbie and HGR have both gone on the potato diet, in which you can eat all the potatoes you want (with seasoning and sour cream, debatably cheese) but nothing else. I’m not one for fad diets. But the two of them have been talking about potatoes constantly, and it...

dream bus, awake apples

Had yet another dream about being late to work. It went like this: === I was watching the guys play a video game. HGR had just joined, and he was bickering with newbie. Good times. Eventually I got up to get ready for work, feeling surprisingly more rested than usual. Then I realized why I was so we...
