christmas sickbay

As predicted, Christmas is at the old house. It's fine. This place is kinda nostalgic (including my sleeping spot on the couch). BB's language has taken off again. A month ago, he mostly spoke in two- or three-word phrases, usually noun-verb or adjective-noun. Now he's on to full-blown sentences. A ...

normie christmas

HGR said it’s odd for me to be away from home so often, taking into account my two-week summer vacation and all the random weekends I spend visiting family. I said I didn’t think it was odd. If anything, I leave home less frequently than most people. At our weekly meetings, Noah typically opens with...

albino cub challenge

Every December, there’s an albino cub challenge, in which you get a bunch of apps and decor if you breed three albino cubs. Each breeding has a tiny chance of throwing an albino; you can raise the odds by base matching. My micropack won’t get this naturally, so it’s project time. Fortunately, my lea...

a cup of soup, a new project

[Thursday] Successfully got out of the office holiday party this year. Originally, we were going to have our weekly meeting on the day of the party and then all go to the party together. Then Noah was like, “Actually, I’m going to be out of the office that day, no meeting. You all can have fun at t...

a failure of narrative

We had another winter storm this weekend, and this one stuck. I got to head out to catch the train at 7:10 am in 19-degree weather. Whenever I go to Starbucks in the morning, I habitually make a narrative in my head as to why there’s more or less people in the store. Today was simple. Few people in ...

mngwa mayhem

It’s Black Friday on Lioden. Big hype. I never cared much about Black Friday on WD. I’m f2p, and WD’s Black Friday mods have all been variants of piebald, a strictly inferior version of merle (no layering, no opacity adjustments). But over on LD, the users have paid their dues with years of pie mods...

r is for bunny

BB is really into books. Left to his own devices, his chosen activity is often bringing you a book to read to him. This weekend’s top storybooks: Little Blue Truck and Green Tractor. He knows the stories by heart and gets excited at his favorite parts, such as the BIG TRUCK getting STUCK IN THE MUD ...

colors, shapes, and a gravel driveway

So here we are, up at brother's place for pre-Thanksgiving. I’m pleased to announce the little tabletop Christmas tree is back. That guy has been on display like three-quarters of the year. I respect it. BB's new favorite thing is to turn on the dance music on his Bluey microphone and simultaneously...

get down mr. president

Putting this predix on the table NOW: We’ve never seen Metem and the Arcadion president in the same room at the same time. THEY ARE THE SAME CHARACTER. BOOK IT. Last weekend, the loot cap for the tier was removed, and we decided to try and blow through all our Brute Abombinator reclears at once. We ...

eating chowder with a fork

It was an ugly, cold fall day with not a hint of blue in the sky, and I was in the mood for soup. So I went to Tomo's Market for lunch. The food there is served cafeteria-style; you get whatever you want and pay by weight. I got a bowl of corn chowder alongside my usual mac & cheese and some oth...

thanksgiving cards & retrospective on dragontober

Last Tuesday I noticed they already set up the big Christmas tree across from the train station. Bros, please. It’s not Thanksgiving yet. Have some class. This weekend I’m heading to a pre-Thanksgiving family get-together (since people are visiting other family for Thanksgiving). I made watercolor T...

whoa! eet noey

The weather is wack. On Friday it was 62 degrees (78 degrees in our non-air-conditioned house). On Saturday the temperature plummeted. Woke up Sunday morning to snow on the ground, more snow falling, and a winter storm warning on my phone. Got an email from Noah saying not to come in on Monday and w...
