We went to Easter service at the country church. The sermon was on Revelation 5, which is a wild Easter selection, except that the pastor entirely glossed over the import of the passage. According to Revelation 5, because Jesus died and became the salvation of mankind, he is worthy to break the seal...
Quarterly visit to parents, goooo. Minor travel snafu on the way down: the commuter rail was delayed indefinitely due to “police action.” (“Fuckin police,” said numbers.) With no ETA, I didn’t want to risk missing my Amtrak connection, so I ubered downtown. Only cost me $40 more lmao. For dinner, Mo...
I picked a singularly dreary miserable day to come downtown, especially after all the gloriously sunny mornings we’ve had recently. Sometimes that’s just how it goes. It was the art Discord that got me to come out here: I got inspired by flight’s vacation pics and wanted more interesting spaces to d...
Today’s guide that no one asked for: Pricing scries for other people When recommending scries to other people, you should be aware of their budget. Sometimes the person will specify their budget (e.g. “no gem genes please”), but even if they don’t, you can make a strong educated guess.Factors indica...
I haven’t been keeping up with my daily drawing task (been doing it maybe half the time, if that), so I joined a Habitica challenge. It’s exactly the same task—draw something every day—but it comes with a Discord server and a daily sketch channel, and somehow that makes all the difference. It’s neat...
amazing how the Daylight Savings transition has been seamless this spring after falling back, at 11 am: why am I so hungry when it’s not even noon…oh. guess I gotta wait an hour after springing forward, at noon: lunchtime! woo! edit (3/12): *rolls over in bed, checks watch* it’s 8:27 am already?? …m...
Flight Rising: Gen 2 of my Breed Out the Ugly Challenge just hatched. One of the three hatchlings inherited runes instead of gembond. Heir CONFIRMED. Gonna get her a mate from Razanei’s line (either a Zeke x Avanc kid, or a Lysander kid (pending hatch results)). I slightly prefer using Lysander’s ki...
Been kind of a shambles lately, but especially today. I had been planning to go into the office today, but the forecast was single-digit windchill and possibly ice and snow during my commute in, so I decided to pass. I stayed up until 1 am playing Stardew Valley, went to sleep at 2 am, the usual. Wo...
more wisdom/philosophy from HGR. “Prometheus showed us where the flame is: inside us. Like Jesus. Wait what. Can we talk about how Pandora is a complete bitch?”
Our Eevees so far: Sherbet the Sylveon (level 23, no useful passives): A pre-evo we picked up with a master biscuit. Waste of 4k sleep points. PSA: Don’t use master biscuits on pre-evos, they’re typically vastly inferior to a handpicked pokemon with good passives that you evolved yourselfDorito the ...
I recently unlocked the new Pokemon Sleep zone, Lapis Lakeside (grass/psychic/fighting), and have spent the past week and a half there. pros: so aesthetic!! cons: My team is incredibly baby and so is my Snorlax. Last week I got 350K. By contrast, my previous Taupe Hollow Snorlax was 700K+. (My recor...
I was complaining about pals getting stuck and HGR composed a haiku from my complaints: I hate this fucker / he floats above the feed bin / my game freezes up In any case, our feed bin woes are mostly over, because HGR, newbie, and I beat Palworld over the weekend. The final boss was Victor & ...
