  • New shinies!

    New kitchen, new Zalto glasses, and these funky little wine pouches!

    Gonna enjoy these when the time is right 😀

  • April Post!

    What a lame title but I feel like I should have a blog entry every month.

    Been doing lots, and not posting anything! I should talk about the dream where I was an assassin’s sidekick but all I wanted to do was visit a cafe. Single O appears lots in my dreams for some reason, could it be that it’s my one true cafe love?

    I also managed to set my BBQ on fire which was interesting, and extremely not fun to clean!

    Hopefully I can post more in May, but we’ll see!

  • Into the Breach Hard!

    Yeah, looks like I’ve still got the… skills. Or luck. Or both 😀

    Hazardous mech are so insane!

  • The Deadliest Hipsters

    I should really just pop them into an alternate reality where they are all buddies lol.

    I don’t really remember the original caption anymore, but something along the lines of:

    Ris: You’re so adorably hipster like us!

    Irutha: No, I’m not.

    Fool: You totally are.

  • Unadorned

    Making a new display pic for myself. Flowers are way too hard and time consuming, so I guess this is a plain version!

  • FTL victories!

    Ok, the Shrike is awesome. So awesome!

    I’d forgotten how incredible the pre-igniter is, and it turns out in phase 3 you only need a level 1 stealth to be able to handle the power surge. Plus, Lanius boarding crew is so fun!

  • Houseplant family photo

    I hope the elephant ear plant is okay, I only bought it a couple of weeks ago and it’s dropping leaves faster than it’s sprouting them. I attribute it to transplant shock, so we’ll see if it recovers.

    My ZZ plant is really not doing well though. One of the two stems is dead, so I figure if it’s diseased, the second one is also dead. If they don’t do anything I might need to just count it as a loss and start again (with a more developed plant; I deliberately bought the baby version but now I’m thinking it wasn’t such a good idea, and right now the shops have bigger ones).

    Good news is, the lemon plant I bought dropped its first set of baby leaves, but now it’s growing more leaves, so I think it’s recovered from transplant shock and also now it’s used to the windy and sunny conditions on my balcony 😀

  • Reine’s BBQ and kitchen adventures

    Yeah I know I didn’t post 2020 Christmas cooking, but it was kinda boring lol. This is far more interesting!

    Cube time!! I wasn’t planning on using this on Saturday, but I’d found a cheap fish and figured it was the perfect practice object. I already had the coal and firelighters for a situation just like this, so here we go!
