good morning llamas

So I got the Let’s Make Art Good Morning Spring Journaling Course. It’s described as “art journaling,” but it’s really just about establishing a daily art habit, which I already have. I signed up anyway because I’ve enjoyed so many of their free videos and want to support them and was craving more c...

spring bb fest 2k26

Brother and his wife moved house a couple weekends ago. The new place is a big two-story house with a basement. Now my parents get a guest room. I’m still sleeping on the couch, but it’s in the basement, which is much nicer than the middle of Grand Central Station. They plan to get a new couch for t...

spring cleaning

Also speaking of daily life activities, I’ve been cleaning the house, since Dad will be here on Friday. He’s mostly here to pick me up for a weekend at brother's place, but there’s enough slack time in the schedule for him to tut about the state of the house, and I wanted to give him a minimum of am...

dying of a sprained ankle

Medical malpractice cases are so freaky. For instance: A 30-year-old sprains her ankle while bowling. She goes to the hospital, gets a boot put on, etc. Over the next week she goes to various follow-up appointments. Eight days after the ankle sprain, she’s found collapsed in the parking lot outside ...

the oath pt. 2 (a monk and a chicken)

After a couple days taking a break from PoE2, I’ve calmed down about the whole thing. It helps to get a little perspective. First of all, last night, meisnewbie (brilliant physicist and undisputed god gamer) streamed PoE2. He just reached endgame on his monk and was attempting a tier 3 corrupted nex...

the third chair

Had lunch with R at the food court. As usual, it was way busy. R saved us a table while I went to get us food (a cheesesteak for him, a BBQ sandwich for me). There wasn’t a chair at the table for me. I went to the next table, where two guys were sitting, and asked if I could have their spare chair. ...

the oath

The Let’s Make Art oath, which Sarah recites at the start of every tutorial, is “I promise to be kind to myself, I promise not to compare my work, and I promise to have fun.” I naturally do this with art, but not so much with everything else. Case in point: Path of Exile 2. I like this game, but it ...

infinity mijinion

Here we are in the endless endgame of PoE2, doing endless maps to raise our level (and fusing maps to create higher tier maps to give us more exp, so we can level up and take on higher tier maps…). “Let’s find some stuff to fuck up and fuck it up,” said HGR. Currently I’m level 89, and HGR is 90. Th...

on memory

Sometimes I worry about my mental acuity. Specifically, my memory. Feels like I have to write everything down to remember it. I have things set up to facilitate this—pen, sketchbook, and post-it notes always at the ready—but I still worry. No one else seems to need memory aids to this extent. Raid i...

aphrodisia hub

Containment zone for all Aphrodisia-related thoughts and commentary.  My haul  4.3k HS on main, 1.2k HS on my alt. That’s 50 buffies, 3 scrots, a whole bunch of apps (including an ardor mark + a flamingo mark for my next lead), various backgrounds and decor, and 50+ dry palm leaves. The bu...

the day of the octopode (PoE2 spoilers)

Continuing my PoE2 playthrough with HGR! This game’s plot continues to be the jankest thing ever.   Chapter 3: Before the Vaal Empire fell, it was into some hardcore shit. We’re like, “Maybe they had hot tips for getting rid of an Octillery.” So we go to the former Vaal lands and spend the chap...

the human body needs to be reforged

“Pretty shitty day, by the way.” “Yeah blob.” Sometimes you can walk 10 steps forward and 0 steps back, but you were so deep in the shit to begin with that you’re still in a shitty place. “I’m full of…[medical condition] ooooOOOOOooooo” (The chorus, in the background: “He feels so bad, he feels so b...
