Even though it had lost a bit of its sparkle in recent years, yeah, same.

I’m a pet sitter, and I always have clients who want to leave the xmas lights on when they travel during the holidays because it helps things look “normal”. I see their point, but it’s so dangerous. It gives me so much anxiety.

I think Rick and Evelyn (Evie) should be on this list.

I remain in my lonely introvert corner with my “Three Thousand Years of Longing was one of the best films of the year” flag.

Will they finally add a fast travel point to Crow’s Perch? Let’s see what happens.

Ow, my heart. These specials were much anticipated year markers throughout my childhood and beyond.

Chris in the Morning remains my favorite fictional DJ.

Wow, this list made me feel old except for a couple of entries. I guess Jack White is excluded for being more of a solo performer? I do feel like Matt Schultz should be here though, but I’m definitely biased toward all things Cage the Elephant. And I’m old. So yeah.

Today I, also well into adulthood, learned that ponies are not baby horses.

I’m absolutely biased, but I’d advise people to find a professional pet sitter over a hobby sitter. I mean someone who has taken the time to set up an actual pet sitting business with their own biz license and liability insurance. Sure, a hobby sitter may be cheaper, but when it comes to accountability to you, your…

Might have try that next spring!

I tried growing sunflowers this year as I have in years past, but the blasted squirrels took down every single one of them, and most before they’d even fully bloomed. Ratty bastards.

I do support planting more natives and have definitely seen more pollinator diversity since I’ve been planting them. I am however really surprised to see bindweed, a horribly invasive plant, on that NWF list of native plant recommendations for my area. Ugh, bindweed. It’s my nemesis. Likewise Virginia Creeper is a…

After every paragraph my mind was saying “yeah, but I have cats” so I was relieved to see that last bit. I swear they have some kitty sports league going called Recreational Regurgitation.

I agree that the act of playing a game isn’t art, nor would the person viewing the painting be considered art. Stunning visuals (art) aside, my favorite games are stories that unfold over the course of the game, and stories very much ARE art to me. So as a player, I’m seeing an artwork unfold bit by bit. It’s just …

I’m still playing Hades. I hit 100% achievements a few days ago, but I’m trying to get that elusive 32 heat statue unlocked.

The Hades soundtrack is sooooo good. I didn’t expect it in a game like this, but that ending scene with the song just made me weep.

Today’s the anniversary of my Mom’s death, and I will always regret not being with her when she died. Reading this did provide some comfort, as I still have nightmares about her being terrified at the very end.

Love the art in this game so much! Hard to even pick a fav, but I especially love Hermes and Eurydice.

It took me 69 runs to beat the final boss battle. I’m not proud, lol. I win pretty regularly now though, so keep at it! It does get easier.
