a requiem for wolvden

I soft quit Wolvden over winter break. It’s a “soft” quit because I haven’t necessarily quit forever; I might return for lunar events…or I might not. Who can say? It comes down to this: After nearly three years of daily rolling, I was tired of Wolvden being the bookend and punctuation to every activ...

hoodie days

It’s been a month since I went to the office. I skipped the holiday party in mid-December. Then we got word that multiple party attendees came down with covid. With the office as a certified Hot Zone, I avoided it for the next couple weeks. I was planning to go in this Wednesday. On Tuesday it snowe...

why does this world persist

Athena did in fact survive 2023, but we got her on our first session in 2024. Not too bad. True fact: I’m so good at this game: (editor’s note: not actually a true fact) (1) During our final Athena 1 reclear, I died during Superchain 2a (which I think killed numbers + Chill who got double-tapped on ...

couch cushion

A small odd thing: Over at brother’s house, I was taking an afternoon nap on the couch, and because there was no blanket to put on top of myself, I used a large couch cushion. “Must be a family thing,” brother's wife said. Apparently, brother does that too. (I didn’t know he did that. He didn’t know...

running commentary

“Can he walk yet??” said roommate. not even close boi  Developmental notes:When on his tummy, he can lift/hold up his head with ease, but he can’t move except by rolling over. His playpen is a bit small for him: he’ll roll over halfway, then get stuck on his arm and/or the side of the pen and r...

a christmas eve concert

BB slept through the night! It probably helped that his afternoon nap was truncated (too much excitement in the house). He slept from 8:30 pm to 6:30 am, woke up for a drink, and then dozed off again until nearly 8. Everyone including me was showering him with praise and little man has no idea what ...

bb bonanza

It’s a holiday bonanza. First Thanksgiving in Boston, now Christmas in Wisconsin with brother. As usual I took the train down to my parents’ on Friday afternoon, got a haircut (yesss no more veilspun cosplay), and then we drove up on Saturday morning. We were going to leave at 9 am, but Dad had to w...

vacation plans(?)

Every vacation I think I can/might/will do so much with my spare time and this one is no different. Things I could do:Draw. My dragon art has improved over the past few months, especially with dragon-a-day inktober (I didn’t manage to draw every day, but I did a bunch of them).Write lore for dragons...

why do you suffer this pathetic existence

Athena is perilously close to surviving 2023, since Dante and I will both be away over Christmas weekend, and I don’t know if people will be available over New Year’s weekend. We saw enrage, though! (It was a 15% enrage obtained by chain reviving through our first attempt at Gaiaochos II, A Real Mec...

party in the house

Today’s the day of the office Christmas party—usually a time of great festivity. But here’s the thing. It’s been three years since covid. I don’t know any of these dudes. The food isn’t worth awkward conversations with strangers (or awkwardly sitting by myself, or awkwardly slinking out with a full ...

a productive day with no rolling

Over Thanksgiving I broke my Wolvden login streak of 1064 days. I just didn’t want to deal with managing my pack. More specifically, I didn’t want to deal with it on Tuesday, when we had multiple flights and a layover; I figured it would be dicey trying to get in all 60 hunts (we had overlap with Th...
