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...
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...
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...
Going on a walk with a toddler is great because everything is so interesting to them. It’s refreshing to see joy in things I would normally walk past without noticing. Some interesting things we saw with BB this weekend:Birds. The park features a lot of free-growing plant areas, especially in and ar...
woop weekend at brother's place. Special thanks to Dante for randomly being on vacation in Mexico on the weekend my parents were like “hey, wanna come visit?” At 22 months, BB is entering tantrum age, although we didn’t see that side of him this weekend. The park is a sticking point. See, the house’...
HGR and newbie mined a bunch of silver on the mountain and then had to get it down the mountain and back home. It was too much to carry on their persons, so they made a PRO PLAN: (1) Build a longboat. (2) Store the silver in the longboat’s cargo hold. (3) Slide the longboat down the mountain. When i...
I entered chat on Saturday to find an ongoing debate about whether “flesh house” or “human house” was the proper term for a house made of human flesh. Luis suggested “human house” was better for plausible deniability (oh, it’s probably just a house for humans, that’s all). numbers said it was situat...
since the subject of gratitude journaling came up, here's my gratitude journal entries from March chill valheim session, exploring the northern reaches of the starting continentmore (very slow) valheim exploration. actually learning the game mechanics! copper + tin = bronze. tin is on the shoreline....
It’s time for the new raid tier! Not sure what we’re calling this one. Last tier was the AAC Lightweight M1-M4, so everyone called them M1-M4. This tier…is the AAC Cruiserweight M1-M4. “I feel so vindicated right now,” said HGR. “I definitely said this was gonna happen if people called them M1-M4.” ...
It’s that time again. There’s a knock on the door. It’s tax blob. “Can I have your taxes?” she says, holding out her hat. “Oh, sure,” I say, pulling out my wallet. “How much do I owe?” “I dunno,” she says. There’s an awkward silence. “Well, uh, figure it out,” she says, and she bounces off. * * * T...
It’s that time again: roommate has an appointment, so we’re throwing a bunch of money at Uber. The Uber app is obnoxiously spammy (old-man-yells-at-cloud.jpg). I go months without needing an Uber ride. Spamming me with multiple notifs a day will not make me need more rides. And a lot of the ads are ...
Saw a sign at the station saying NO SCOOTERING. I wondered for a moment if that’s the correct verb. Like, we already have a verb “scooting” that is more concise and cuter. Do we really need another verb? But then I realized that apparently scooting is allowed at the station, you just can’t do it on ...
